Getting to know your vehicle - 141
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. The flap 1 and
its surround must remain clean.
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, top-up
at least 1.10 gallons (5 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).
To fill up with fuel, the
engine must be off (and
not only on standby in
the case of vehicles
equipped with the Stop and
Startfunction): you must switch off
the ignition🡺146.
Fire hazard.
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 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.

approximately 7.04 gallons (32
