Practical information

(depending on version).
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
After pressing the button on the
dashboard, the filler flap may not open for
several minutes. A sound is emitted when the
filler flap opens.
If the flap becomes stuck, press and hold
the button on the dashboard for more than
3 seconds.
► Select a pump that delivers the correct fuel
type for the vehicle's engine (see a reminder
label on the inside of the filler flap).

► Turn the filler cap to the left, remove it
and place it on its support on the filler flap
(depending on version).
► Insert the filler nozzle and push it in as far as
possible before starting to refuel (to minimise the
risk of splashing).
► Fill the tank.
Do not continue after the nozzle's third cut-
out. Doing so may cause malfunctions.
► Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to
the right (depending on version).
► Push the fuel filler flap to close it.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be inserted.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
the vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)

(Depending on country of sale.)
This mechanical device prevents filling the tank
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device is visible when the filler cap is removed.
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into
contact with the flap. The system remains closed
and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
The misfuel prevention device does not
prevent filling with a jerrycan, regardless
of the fuel type.
