Fuel grade
Use a high-grade fuel
that complies
with the legislation in force in each
country. It must conform to the specifi-
cations given on label
B
inside the fuel
filler flap.
Refer to the “Engine specifications”
table in Section 6.
Vehicles running on ethanol-based
fuel
Always
use unleaded petrol or fuel
containing a maximum of 85 percent
ethanol (E85).
In very cold conditions it may be difficult
or even impossible to start the engine.
To avoid this problem, use unleaded
petrol.
Note:
you may notice an increase in
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.
When the fuel is changed the engine
must adjust, which may cause minor in-
conveniences for a few minutes (longer
starting times, cutting out, etc.).
Filling with fuel
With the ignition off, insert the nozzle to
open the valve 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 suffi-
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. The valve and its sur-
round must remain clean.
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 contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which
only allows
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used
(at the pump).
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent
fuel odour you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow 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 approved Dealer.
Petrol version
It is
essential
to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) should match
the information given on the label
B
lo-
cated inside the fuel filler flap.
Diesel versions
It is
essential
to use diesel fuel that
conforms to the specifications given on
the label inside fuel flap
B
.
