In bad weather and in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered by
r
oad dirt, ice or snow.
In
the event of a fault, have the system
c
hecked by a CITROËN dealer or a

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres, once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
o
r more tyres. The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This
system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
p
articularly under arduous condition
(
high loading, high speed, long journey).
System
which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
y
our vehicle can be found on the tyre
p
ressure label.
For
more information on the
i
dentification markings, refer to the
c
orresponding
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
s
topped for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.

Under-inflation alertReinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure t
hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct
for the use of the vehicle and in
l
ine with the recommendations on the
t
yre pressure label.
The
under-inflation alert can only
b
e relied on if the reinitialisation of
t
he system has been done with the
p
ressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not give a warning if a pressure is
i
ncorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
This
is
given
by
fixed
illumination
of
t
his
warning
lamp,
accompanied
by
a
n
audible
signal
and
the
display
of
a
m
essage.
It
is
necessary to reinitialise the system every
t
ime
one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
a
nd
after changing one or more wheels.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the u nder-inflation w arning lam p a ccompanied b
y illumination of the Service warning lamp
i
ndicates a fault with the system.
In
this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
t
yres is no longer assured.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
Before
doing anything to the system,
t
he pressures of the four tyres must be
c
hecked and the system reinitialised.

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, t
his 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 r
eminds 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
w
arning
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 out.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.
For
more information on running out of
f
uel (Diesel), refer to the corresponding
s
ection. F
T
ake care to select the pump that delivers
t
he correct type of fuel for your vehicle.

ntroduce the filler nozzle and push it in as
f
ar as possible before starting to refuel
(risk
of blowback).
F
M
aintain this position throughout the

efuelling
ope
ration.
Once
you have finished refuelling:
F
R

rom the cap.
F
P
ush the fuel flap to close it.If you are filling your tank to the top, do
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
h
elps 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.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
i
nto contact with the flap. The system remains
c
losed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.

Depending on the country of sale.
Mechanical
device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
e
ngine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to
f
ill the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
d
o not place the nozzle of the fuel can
i

m
isfuel prevention device and pour
s
l ow l y.Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may b
e different in other countries, the
p
resence of the misfuel prevention
d
evice may make refuelling impossible.
Before
travelling abroad, we
r
ecommend that you check with the
C
ITROËN dealer network, whether your
v
ehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in
t
he country in which you want to travel.

Fuel used for petrol
engines
The petrol engines are compatible with E
10 type petrol biofuels (containing
1
0 % ethanol), conforming to European
s
tandards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85
type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
a
re reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
f
or the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
v
ehicles). The quality of the ethanol must
c
omply with European standard EN 15293.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels available at the pumps which meet
c
urrent and future European standards:
-
D
iesel fuel that meets standard EN 590
m
ixed with a biofuel that meets standard
E
N

-
D
iesel fuel that meets standard EN16734
m
ixed with a biofuel that meets standard
E
N14214 (possibly containing up to

0 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
-
P
araffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard
E
N15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets
s
tandard EN14214 (possibly containing up
t
o 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).The
use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard E
N16709 is possible in your Diesel engines.
H
owever, this use, even occasional, requires
s
trict application of the special servicing
c
onditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
F
or more information, contact a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable
or animal oils, pure or diluted,
d
omestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
d
amage to the engine and fuel system).
Only
the use of Diesel fuel additives that meet
t
he standard B715000 is authorised.

rovided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few
m
oments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
c
hains are correctly tightened.
Take
account
of
the
legislation
in
force
i
n your country on the use of snow
chains
and
the
maximum
running
speed

must
be
fitted
only
t
o
the
front
wheels.
They
must
never

type
spare
w
heels.
Avoid
driving with snow chains on roads
t
hat have been cleared of snow, to
a
void damaging your vehicle's tyres and
t
he road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
w
ith alloy wheels, check that no part of
t
he chain or its fixings is in contact with
t

It
is
strongly
recommended
that
before

you
practise
fitting
the
