FUEL TANK
(2/2)
Petrol versions
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must conform
to the information given on the label on
cover A. Refer to the information on
"Engine specifications" in Section 6.
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, for equipped vehi-
cles, use the heater integrated into the
engine: connect the specified end of
the extension piece supplied into the
socket integrated into the radiator grille
and the other end into a 220V socket
for at least 6 hours before starting.
Note: you may notice an increase in
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.

Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle
so that the valve opens 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 so as to leave sufficient
room 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 consists of a restrictor fitted with
a foolproof system which only allows
a nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).
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.
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).
