Fuel tank

Capacity of the tank: approximately 50 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank is
reached, this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel.
When it first comes on, around 5 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer the the
"Checks" section.

Refuelling
A label on the inside of the filler flap reminds
you of the type of fuel to use according to your
engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an
inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of
the fuel system.
F Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left.
F Remove the filler cap and hang it on its
carrier (on the filler flap).
F Fill the tank. Do not continue past the third
cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause
malfunctions.
F Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the
right.
F Push the filler flap to close it.
