FUEL TANK
A
B
Capacity of the fuel tank: 66 litres ap-
proximately.
With the vehicle unlocked, press on the
left-hand side of cover B to open it.
Valve A is integrated into the filler pipe.
For details on filling the fuel tank, refer
to the information on "Filling with fuel".
Never press valve A with
your fingers.
Do not wash the filler
area with a high-pressure
washer.
Fuel grade
Always use a high-grade fuel, that
complies with legislation in force in each
country, and conforms to the specifica-
tions given on the label inside the fuel
filler flap.
Refer to the information on "Engine
specifications" in Section 6.
Make sure that no water accidentally
enters the fuel tank during filling. The
sealing system and its surrounding
area must be dust-free.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol with
diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not adapted for
this fuel.

Filling with fuel
Insert the nozzle so that the metal valve
is pushed back and then fully insert it
before beginning to fill the tank (risk of
splashback).
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.
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).
