Fuel tank
Low fuel levelFilling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds 
you of the type of fuel to be used depending on 
your engine.
When the low fuel level is reached 
this warning lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel. When it first comes 
on there remains approximately 
5
 
litres of fuel in the tank. To fill the tank safely:
F
 
t
 he engine must be switched off,
F
 
o
 pen the fuel filler flap,
F
 
i
 nsert the key in the cap, then turn it to 
the

lock until the cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may create a 
noise caused by an inrush of air. This 
vacuum is entirely normal and results 
from the sealing of the fuel system.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres 
(petrol) or 48 litres (Diesel); (Depending on 
version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or 
Diesel)).
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid 
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the 
"Checks" section.

headlamps after the vehicle's ignition has been 
switched off makes the driver's exit easier 
when the light is poor.

F With the ignition off, "flash" the headlamps using the lighting stalk.
F
 
A f
 urther "headlamp flash" switches the 
function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches 
off automatically after a set time.
Lighting on audible warning
When the ignition is switched off, all 
of the lamps switch off automatically, 
unless guide-me-home lighting is

is opened to warn the driver that they 
have forgotten to switch off the vehicle's 
lighting, with the ignition off.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low 
temperature or humidity), the presence 
of misting on the internal sur face of the 
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps 
is normal; it disappears after the lamps 
have been on for a few minutes.
