When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. When it first comes
on there remains approximately
5 litres of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (diesel), refer also to the
"Checks" section.
additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
opening the filler cap may create a
noise caused by an inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.

you of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
To fill the tank safely:

left,
F remove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap,
