Vehicles running on ethanol -
based fuel
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or
fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-
anol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine. To avoid this problem, use un-
leaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles,
use the heater integrated in the engine:
connect the special end of the exten -
sion piece supplied into the socket in -
tegrated into the radiator grille and the
other end into a 220V socket for at least
6 hours before starting.
nB: you may notice an increase in fuel
consumption with this type of fuel.

filling with fuel
Insert the nozzle to open valve B and
insert it fully before turning it on to fill
the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position through -
out 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. Valve B and its sur-
round must remain clean.
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).
No modifications what -
soever are permitted on
any part of the fuel supply
system (electronic unit,
wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protec -
tive covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (unless undertaken by
qualified Network personnel).
Persistent smell of
fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers
to leave the vehicle and to keep
away from traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un -
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add any additives to the fuel,
you risk damaging the engine.

approved dealer as soon as possible.
radiator: If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never be topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Reminder: only products approved
by our Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
