Welcome to 2CarPros.

It sounds like you have a bad fuel pump or fuel pump relay. I don't have technical information on this vehicle because it isn't offered in the US, but the relay should be in the main power distribution box under the hood. Switch it with another relay having the same part number to see if it makes a difference.

If you want to test that specific relay, here is a link that explains how it is done:
