Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. There remains
approximately 5 litres
of fuel in
the tank. When the warning lamp
flashes, there is
very little fuel left
.
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
Removing the filler cap may cause an
inrush of air. This vacuum is perfectly
normal and results from the sealing of
the system.
Fuel tank

50 litres
(
45 litres
for the BlueHDi Diesel engine).

but do not continue after the
3rd cut-off of the pump
; this could cause

With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
