Refuelling
turn the key a quarter turn to lock
and unlock the fi ller cap,
when refuelling, place the cap on
hook A ,

after the third cut-off ; this could
cause your vehicle to malfunc-
tion.
While you are refuelling, the en-
gine must be stopped and the ig-
nition switched off.

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by
the fuel gauge.
The fi ller neck is narrower to en-
sure that only unleaded petrol noz-
zles can be put in.
Opening the fi ller cap may create
a noise of an inrush of air. This
vacuum, which is entirely normal,
is caused by the sealing of the fuel
system.
