Useful capacity of fuel tank: approximately 10.5 gal (48 litres).

With the vehicle unlocked, to open the flap 1, press zone A, then release. The flap 1 opens slightly.

Use the cap holder 2 on the flap 1 during filling to hold the cap 3 in place.

For details on filling the tank, refer to the information on "Filling with fuel".

To close it, press on the fuel filler flap by hand, as far as it will go.

warning

Fuel filler cap: this is a specific type.

If you have to replace it, make sure it is identical to the original cap. Contact an approved Dealer.

Never place the cap near a source of heat or flame.

Do not wash the filler area with a high pressure washer.

Fuel grade

Use a high-grade fuel that complies with the legislation in force in each country and that complies with the specifications given on the label on the flap 1Engine identification, engine specifications.

tip

Fuel types that conform to European standards with which the engines of vehicles sold in Europe are compatible: refer to the table Engine identification, engine specifications.

It is essential to use unleaded petrol. The octane rating (RON) must comply with the information shown on the label on the fuel filler flap 1Engine identification, engine specifications.

tip

After filling, check that the cap and cover are closed.

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.

After filling, refit the cap 3 and close the flap 1 to prevent any water or foreign bodies from entering the system.

Always make sure that the cap 3, the flap 1 and its perimeter remain clean and free of dust, mud, dirt, etc.

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, fill up with fuel or top up with at least approximately 2.20 gallons (10 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.

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).

warning

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).

warning

Persistent smell of fuel

If you notice a persistent fuel odour you should:

  • stop the vehicle when traffic conditions allow it 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 authorised dealer.
