Fuel tankFuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (diesel);
(dep ending on version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or di esel)).
Low fuel level
Filling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds you   of   the   type   of   fuel   to   be   used   depending   on  
y

our
 eng
ine.
Additions
  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   7   litres,   in  
o

rder   to   be   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.The
  key   cannot   be   removed   from   the  
l

ock   until   the   cap   is   refitted.
Opening
  the   filler   cap   may   create   a  
n

oise   caused   by   an   inrush   of   air.   This  
v

acuum   is   entirely   normal,   resulting  
f

rom   the   sealing   of   the   fuel   system.
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  
t

he

left,F
 
r
emove   the   cap   and   hook   it   onto   the   clip  l
ocated   on   the   inside   of   the   flap,
F  f ill   the   tank,   but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ;
  this   could   cause  
m

alfunctions.
When
  you   have   filled   the   tank:
F
 
p
ut   the   cap   back   in   place,
F
 
t
urn   the   key   to   the   right,   then   remove   it  
f

rom   the   cap,
F
 
c
lose   the   flap.
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached   this   warning   lamp   comes   on o

n   the   instrument   panel.   When   it   first
 c

omes   on   there   remains   approximately
5 litres
  of   fuel   in   the   tank.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system  in   STOP   mode;   you   must   switch  
o

ff   the   ignition   with   the   key.
You
 
must   refuel   as   soon   as   possible   to   avoid  
r

unning   out   of   fuel.
If
 
you
 
run   out   of   fuel   (Diesel),   refer   also   to   the  
"
