FUEL TANK

Capacity of the tank: approxi-
mately 71 litres.
Low fuel level
When the minimum level
in the tank is reached,
this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen.

You have enough fuel left to drive
approximately 30 miles (approx.
50 km).
 Press at the top left corner, then
pull open from the left.
 turn the key a quarter turn to lock
and unlock the fi ller cap,

 when refuelling, place the cap on
hook A ,

 fi ll the tank, but do not persist
after the third cut-off ; this could
cause your vehicle to malfunc-
tion.

While you are refuelling, the en-
gine must be stopped and the ig-
nition switched off.

For a petrol engine with a cata-
lytic converter, unleaded fuel is
compulsory.
Opening the fuel flap
The fi ller neck is narrower to en-
sure that only unleaded petrol noz-
zles can be put in.

Fuel quality
A label inside the fi ller fl ap tells you
which type of fuel to use.
The petrol engines are designed to
run on RON 95.
However, for better performance
(petrol engine), we recommend
RON 98.
In winter conditions, starting from
cold may sometimes seem diffi cult.
During periods of very cold weather
we recommend the use of 95 or 98
unleaded petrol in preference to
E85 so as to ensure optimum start-
ing performance.
BioFlex engine
A Biofl ex vehicle is one that has
been designed to operate equally
on unleaded petrol (95 or 98 RON)
or on bioethanol (in Europe this is a
mixture of 85 % ethanol and 15 %
unleaded petrol, known as E85).
As a result, no matter how much fuel
remains in the tank, and whatever
this fuel may be (unleaded petrol,
E85 or a mixture of the two) you can
refuel at any time with unleaded pe-
trol (95 or 98 RON) or with bioetha-
nol (E85).
There is no problem in running this
vehicle on only unleaded petrol.

If you should put in fuel that is
not suitable for your vehicle’s
engine type, it is imperative to
have the tank drained before
you start the engine again.

LIGHTING CONTROLS
System for selection and control of
the various front and rear lamps pro-
viding the vehicle’s lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver’s visibility progressively in
relation to the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped headlamps to see with-out dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear,
- directional headlamps for im- proved visibility when cornering.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving con-
ditions:
- a rear fog lamp to be seen from a distance,
- front fog lamps for even better forward vision,
- daytime running lights to be seen during the day. Programming
Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending
on options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic lighting,
- directional lighting.
Manual controls
lamps off,
automatic switching on of
the lamps,
sidelamps only,
dipped headlamps or
main beam headlamps.

C. fog lamps selection ring.
The fog lamps operate with the
sidelamps and the dipped and main
beam headlamps.
- 1 st turn forwards: rear foglamps on.
- 1 st turn rearwards: rear foglamps off.

- 1 st turn forwards: front foglamps on.
- 2 nd turn forwards: rear foglamps on.
- 1 st turn rearwards: rear foglamps off.
- 2 nd turn rearwards: front foglamps off.
Model with rear foglamps only
Model with front and rear
foglamps In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and
the rear foglamps are prohibited. In
these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the brightness sensor
may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.
Lamps on buzzer
The triggering of an audible signal
when a front door is opened warns
the driver that he has forgotten to
switch off his vehicle’s lamps, with
the ignition off and in manual lamps
mode.
In this case, switching off the lamps
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.
