Fuel types that conform to European standards with which the engines of vehicles sold in Europe are compatible: refer to the “Engine specifications” in section 6.
After filling, check that the cap and cover are closed.
Do not use ethanol-based fuel if your vehicle is not compatible with this fuel.

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).
Keep the nozzle in this position throughout 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 cover A and its surround 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).
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and Start function
To fill up with fuel, the engine must be stopped (and not on standby): stop the engine (please refer to the information on “Starting and stopping the engine” in Section 2).
No modifications whatsoever are permitted on any part of the fuel supply system (electronic units, wiring, fuel circuit, injectors, protective covers, etc.) as this may be dangerous (unless undertaken by qualified Network personnel).
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent fuel odour you should:
- stop the vehicle as soon as traffic conditions allow and switch off the ignition;
- switch on the hazard warning lights and ask your passengers to leave the vehicle and stay clear of the traffic;
- contact an approved Dealer.
