FUEL TANK
(2/3)
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must comply
with the information given on the label
on the cover 1. ➥ 6.5.
Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle
and insert it fully before turning it on to
fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
1
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. The cover 1 and its
surround must remain clean.
Special case
When the vehicle has been stopped for
around three months, you must add
fuel to prevent damage to the fuel
pump.
To do this, with the ignition off, top-up
at least 1.10 gallons (5 litres) then start
the engine to operate the pump and
renew the fuel in the circuit.
If it is not possible to add at least
1.10 gallons (5 litres) of fuel due to the
fuel level in the tank, drive the vehicle
until the tank has capacity.
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).
Fuel types that conform to European
standards with which the engines of
vehicles sold in Europe are compat-
ible: refer to the table ➥ 6.5.
