Filling the tank

Open the driver’s door in order to open flap 1.

Depending on the vehicle, unlock cap 2 using the key.

Remove cap 2 and attach it to flap 1.

Useful capacity of fuel tank: approximately 105 litres or 80 litres (depending on the vehicle).

Filling with fuel

When the pump cuts out automatically at the end of the filling procedure, a maximum of two further filling attempts may be made to maintain an expansion volume.

Fuel grade

It is essential to use diesel. Make sure that no water enters the fuel tank accidentally during filling. The sealing system and its surrounding area must be dust-free.

Use a high-grade fuel that complies with the legislation in force in each country. It must comply with the specifications given on the label on the cover 1. Refer to the information on “Engine specifications” in Section 6.

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

Do not mix even small amounts of petrol (unleaded or E85) with diesel.

Do not use ethanol-based fuel if your vehicle is not compatible with this fuel.

Do not add anything to the fuel (additive, reagent, etc.) to prevent the risk of damaging the engine.

Fuel filler cap: this is of a special 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.

Running out of fuel on diesel versions

After a breakdown caused by completely running out of fuel, the system must be reprimed before the engine is restarted:

Fill the tank on level ground with a minimum of 5 litres of diesel.

Press priming bulb 3 several times.

The engine can now be restarted.

If the engine does not start after several attempts, contact an approved Dealer.

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 See “Starting, stopping the engine” in Section 2).

Persistent smell of fuel

If you notice a persistent smell of fuel 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 to keep away from traffic;

- contact an approved Dealer.

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.

No modifications whatsoever are permitted on any part of the fuel supply system (computers, wiring, fuel circuit, injector, protection covers, etc.) as this may be dangerous (such work must be undertaken by qualified Network personnel).
