FUEL TANK


Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.


When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning
lamp comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and the display
of an alert message. When it
fi rst comes on, around 6 litres

of fuel remain in the tank.

message. When driving, this audible
signal and the display of this alert mes-
sage are repeated with increasing fre-

5 litres to be registered by the fuel
gauge.

inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of

fi lled with the correct fuel be-
fore you start the engine.
