Practical information
fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal. When it first comes on,
about 6 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
Compatibility of fuels
7
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol
respectively.
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
A small arrow by the warning lamp
indicates on which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
Refuelling
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
Fuel tank capacity:
approximately 53 litres
(Petrol or Diesel) or 43 litres
(Rechargeable hybrid).
Refuelling
Any addition of fuel must be in quantities of at
least 10 litres, in order to be registered by the
fuel gauge.
Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel
system.
The filler cap is built into the filler flap or must be
unscrewed (depending on version).
Fuel tank capacity:
approximately 56 litres.
The only fuel additives authorised for use
are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.

Practical information
To refuel in complete safety:
► You must switch off the engine.
► Insert the filler nozzle and push it in as far as
possible before starting to refuel (to minimise the
risk of splashing).
This mechanical device prevents filling the tank
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device is visible when the filler cap is removed.
► Fill the tank.
Do not continue past the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle; as this may cause malfunctions.
► Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to
the right (depending on version).
Operation
► Push the filler flap to close it.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
► To open the filler flap, press the flap opening
button or press the rear edge of the filler flap
(depending on version).
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
After pressing the button, it may take a
few minutes for the filler flap to open.
If the flap becomes stuck, press and hold the
button for more than 3 seconds.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be inserted.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
the vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into
contact with the flap. The system remains closed
and prevents filling.
► Take care to select the pump that delivers the
correct fuel type for the vehicle's engine (see a
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
If the filler flap is accidentally closed
before refuelling, it cannot be opened
manually. Restart the engine and move the
vehicle a few metres before pressing the
filler flap opening button again.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
The use of a fuel jerrycan to fill the tank
remains possible.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)
► Turn the filler cap to the left, remove it
and place it on its support on the filler flap
(depending on version).
