Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank:
- Pe trol:   approximately   50   litres.
-
 
D
iesel:   approximately   45   or   50   litres   (depending   on   version).
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this
  warning   lamp   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   comes   on,   accompanied   by  
a

n   audible   warning,   a   message   and  
t

he   last   bar   of   the   fuel   gauge   flashes  
i

n   red.
To
  refuel   in   complete   safety:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine.
F
 
O
pen   the   filler   flap.a label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds   you   of   the   type   of   fuel   to   use,  
d

epending   on   your   engine   type.
Additions
  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   5   litres   to  
b

e   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
When
 
it
 
first   comes   on,   about 5 litres of fuel
remain
 
in
 
the   tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning
 
lamp   appears   every   time   the   ignition  
i

s
 
switched   on,   accompanied   by   an   audible  
w

arning
 
and   a   message.   This   audible   warning  
a

nd
 
message   are   repeated   with   increasing  
f

requency
  as   the   fuel   level   drops   towards   "0 ".
Refuel
 
as
  soon   as   possible   to   avoid   running  
o

ut. Opening
  the   filler   cap   may   result   in   an   inrush   of  
a

ir.   This   is   entirely   normal   and   results   from   the  
s

ealing   of   the   fuel   system.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system
  in   STOP   mode;   you   must   switch  
o

ff   the   ignition   with   the   key.
If
 
you   run   out   of   fuel   (Diesel),   refer  
a

not persist after the 3rd cut- off; this could
cause malfunctions.
The
  petrol   or   Diesel   engine   of   your   vehicle   is  
f

itted with a catalytic converter, a device which
helps   to   reduce   the   level   of   harmful   emissions  
i

n   the   exhaust   gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The   filler   neck   is   narrower,   allowing   only  
u

nleaded   petrol   nozzles   to   be   introduced.Your   vehicle   is   equipped   with   a   safety   device  
w

hich cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Fuel cut- of f
If you have put in the wrong fuel
for your vehicle, you must have the
fuel tank drained and filled with
the correct fuel before star ting the
engine.

engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels   which   conform   to   current   and   future

adblue® additive and SCR system
f
or
 
BlueHDi   Diesel   engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity   with   the   new   Euro   6   emissions  
s

tandard,   without   adversely   affecting   the  
p

er formance   or   fuel   consumption   of   Diesel  
e

ngines,   CITROËN   has   taken   the   decision   to  
e

quip   its   vehicles   with   an   effective   system   that  
a

ssociates   SCR   (Selective   Catalytic   Reduction)  
w

ith   a   particle   filter   (FAP)   for   the   treatment   of  
e

xhaust   gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing urea, a
 
catalytic
 
converter
 
turns
 
up
 
to
 
85%   of   nitrous o

xides
 
(NOx)
 
into
 
nitrogen
 
and
 
water,   which   are
 h

armless
 
to
 
health
 
and

p

revents

of   the   engine.
If the SCR is faulty, the level of
emissions
 
from
 
your   vehicle   will   no  
l

onger
 
meet
 
the
 
Euro   6   standard:   you  
v

ehicle
 
becomes
 
polluting.
In
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a
 
confirmed   fault  
w

ith
 
the
 
SCR
 
system,   you   must   go  
t

o
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop
 
as
 
soon   as   possible:   after  
a

 
running
 
distance   of   650   miles  
(

1 100
 
km),
 
a
 
system   will   be   triggered  
a

utomatically
 
to
 
prevent   engine   starting.
The
a
dblu
e® additive is held in a special
tank
 
located
  under   the   boot   at   the   rear   of  
t

he
 
vehicle.
 
It   has   a   capacity   of   17   litres:   this  
p

rovides
 
a
 
driving   range   of   about   12   500   miles  
(

20
 
000
 
km),
  after   which   an   alert   is   triggered  
w

arning
 
you
 
when   the   reserve   remaining   is  
e

nough
 
for
 
just   1   500   miles   (2   400   km).
During
 
each
  scheduled   service   of   your   vehicle  
b

y
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop,  
t

he
a
d
blu

e
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
 
normal   operation   of   the   SCR   system.
If
 
the
 
estimated   mileage   between   two   services  
i

s
 
greater
 
than   12   500   miles   (20   000   km),   we  
r

ecommend
  that   you   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer  
o

a
 
qualified   workshop   to   have   the   necessary  
t

op-up
 
carried   out.
