Practical information
Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol
respectively.

Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
The only fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 (Petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 52
litres (Petrol, Diesel or Hybrid) or 40 litres
(Rechargeable hybrid).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp lights up on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal. When it first comes on,
about 6 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start / e-Auto mode
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode or in stand-by; you must switch off the
ignition.
Refuelling
Any addition of fuel must be in quantities of at
least 10 litres, in order to be registered by the
fuel gauge.
Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel
system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►

Always switch off the engine.
