Practical information
Compatibility of fuels
Diesel at low temperature
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228
standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol
respectively.
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590,
EN16734
and EN16709 standards respectively
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 servicing conditions referred to as
"Arduous conditions".
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the
EN15940
standard.
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
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).
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.
For all additional information, consult a
dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 53 litres.
Reserve level: 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the level in the tank becomes
low, this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by a
message and an audible signal.
When it first comes on, about
6 litres of fuel is left in the tank.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an 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.
The only fuel additives authorised for use
are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000
(Diesel) standards.
