FUEL TANK (3/6)
Filling with fuel
Insert the nozzle to open the valve and
insert it fully before turning it on to fill
the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position
throughout the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi-
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. The valve and its sur-
round must remain clean.
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle when traffic conditions allow it and switch off
the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear
of the traffic;
– contact an authorised dealer.
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine (please refer to the
information on “Starting and stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

1.68
LPG versions
Useful capacity of fuel tank: approx.
34 litres.
Filling up with LPG
Engage the handbrake, stop the engine,
switch off the ignition and switch off the
lights.
Always respect the safety instructions
given at filling stations.
It is always advisable to completely fill
the tank.
When the pump stops delivering LPG,
or when the pump flow reduces sig-
nificantly, the maximum LPG level has
been reached.
At this point, do not attempt to carry on
filling.
If you exceed the LPG tank capacity when filling completely, please go
to an accredited garage or your authorised dealer to check the automatic\

filler device.
FUEL TANK (4/6)
Filling stations without self-service
If service station staff fill your vehicle
with LPG, give them a filling adapter 4,
as supplied in a pouch in the glovebox.
IMPORTANT:
The adapter 4 depends on the
country in which the vehicle is sold.
Before travelling to another country,
please consult an authorised dealer.

FUEL TANK (5/6)
Filling stations with self-service
We recommend that you wear gloves
when handling the LPG pistol.
Open your vehicle’s tank cover and
unscrew the cap 5 from the end piece
of the LPG filler 6.
Carefully follow the information explain-
ing how to refill using the LPG distribu-
tor. When the pump finishes or if it has dif-
ficulties operating, this means that the
maximum tank fill level (80%) has been
reached.
The filling will stop as soon as you re-
lease the button. Release the stop
lever (a small amount of gas may be re-
leased), lift the pistol and place it on the
distributor.
Replace the cap 5
to avoid any water
or foreign bodies from entering the
system.

LPG versions
The engine is always started using
petrol:
– activate the starter without accelerat-ing;
– release the key as soon as the engine starts.
The system will automatically deter-
mine the switchover from petrol to LPG.
When operating on LPG, the fuel gauge
may indicate a drop in the petrol level
and the on-board computer will not op-
erate.
Under certain winter conditions the
system may delay or disable operation
with LPG.
After stopping the engine, if the envi-
ronmental conditions are once again
suitable, the system may once again
permit LPG mode.
Starting the engineIn very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.
When starting the engine, if the outdoor
temperature is very low (below -10°C):
hold down the clutch pedal until the
engine starts.
Make sure the engine immobiliser is not
activated. Refer to the information on
the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
Petrol injection
– Turn the key to the start position without depressing the accelera-
tor.
– Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
ÉDiesel injection
Turn the ignition key to ignition “On” po-
sition M, and hold this position until the
preheating warning light goes out.
Turn the key to starter position D with-
out depressing the accelerator
pedal.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (1/4)
At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it
is recommended to use ECO mode to
maximise the use of LPG. Please refer
to the information on “Driving advice,
Eco-driving” in Section 2.
To enable the system to operate
smoothly and to prevent any wear to
the vehicle’s electric petrol pump, the
petrol tank should always be around
1/4 full.

2.11
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
If the
Ä and Ò warning lights
come on, consult an approved dealer
as soon as possible.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “Fuel tank” in Section 1 before
restarting the engine.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully charged;
– always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.
