FILLING WITH FUEL
FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED The fuel tank must be filled with the engine

DIESEL REPRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to re-prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Low fuel level
When the needle is at the start of
the red zone, the minimum fuel
tank level is reached when this
warning light comes on. At this
moment, you have approximately 8 litres of
fuel remaining. Fill up without delay to avoid
running out of fuel. When filling with fuel, do not open the
left-hand side door, if fitted on your
vehicle, as there is a risk of damage to the
fuel filler flap.
- Open the fuel filler flap.
Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the flap.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 80 litres.
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap and close the flap. In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
The flashing of this warning light
is accompanied by a message on
the display.
Check that there is no odour or leakage of
fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish the
fuel supply:
- switch off the ignition (STOP position).
- remove the key.
- put the key back in the ignition.
- switch on the ignition and start.
