fUEL TANK
(2/3)
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, on equipped vehicles,
use the heater integrated in the engine:
connect the special end of the exten-
sion piece supplied into the socket in-
tegrated 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.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.

filling with fuel
Insert the nozzle fully 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 sufficient space
in the fuel tank to allow for expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. The cap and its sur-
round must remain clean.
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).
persistent smell of
fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle if traffic condi-
tions allow and switch off the igni-
tion;
– switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers
to leave the vehicle and to keep
away from traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.
