FUEL TANK
Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.

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.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added,
every time the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp appears, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and an alert
message. When driving, this audible
signal and the display of this alert mes-
sage are repeated with increasing fre-
quency, as the level drops towards 0
.

avoid running out.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to "Checks".
Low fuel level
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
Opening the fi ller cap may result in an
inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely

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

do not persist after the third cut-off;
this could cause your vehicle to mal-
function.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
There are three rings for each seat:
- two rings A
, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion, indi-
cated by a marking,
- a ring B
, behind the seat and identi-
fi ed by a marking, referred to as the
TOP TETHER
for fi xing the upper
strap.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides
fast, reliable and safe fi tting of the child
seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with
two latches which are secured on the
two rings A
.
Some seats also have an upper strap
,
which is attached to ring B
.
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compro-
mises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Follow strictly the fi tting instruc-
tions provided by with the child
seat.
For information on the possibilities for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your ve-
hicle, refer to the summary table.
When fi tting an ISOFIX child
seat to the left hand rear seat,
before fi tting the seat, fi rst move
the centre rear seat belt towards
the middle of the vehicle, so as
to avoid the seat interfering with
the operation of the seat belt.
Your vehicle has been approved in ac-
cordance with the latest
ISOFIX regu-
lation
.
The seats, represented below, are fi tted
with regulation ISOFIX mountings: To secure the child seat to the TOP
TETHER:
- remove and stow the head restraint
before installing the child seat on the
seat (refi t it once the child seat has
been removed),
- raise the carpet cover on the TOP
TETHER,
- pass the upper strap of the child seat
behind the seat backrest, between the
apertures for the head restraint rods,
- fi x the hook of the upper strap to the
ring B
,
