TANK (2/3)
Fuel grade
Filling with fuel
Use a high-grade fuel that complies
with the legislation in force in each
country and which must comply with
the specifications given on the label on
the cover A. Refer to the information on
“Engine specifications” in Section 6.
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle
and insert it fully before turning it on to
fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function
Keep the nozzle in this position through-
out the entire filling operation.
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).
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 suffi-
cient 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 version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must comply
with the information given on the label
on the cover A. Refer to Section 6 for
information on “Engine specifications”.
Diesel version
Only use diesel fuel which complies
with the information on the label located
inside the cover A.
Fuel types that conform to European
standards with which the engines of
vehicles sold in Europe are compat-
ible: refer to the “Engine specifica-
tions” in section 6.
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 consists of a restrictor fitted with
a safety system which only allows
a nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded 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 (ad-
ditive, reagent, etc.) to prevent the
risk of damaging the engine.
