Capacity of the tank: approximately
71 litres.
Low fuel level
When the minimum level
in the tank is reached, this
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message on the multifunction
screen. When it fi rst comes on, there
remains around 5 litres of fuel in the
tank.
You must refuel to avoid running out
of fuel.

 Press at the top left corner, then
pull open from the left.
 turn the key a quarter turn to lock
and unlock the fi ller cap,

 when refuelling, place the cap on
hook A ,

 fi ll the tank, but do not persist
after the third cut-off ; this could
cause your vehicle to malfunction.

While you are refuelling, the engine
must be stopped and the ignition
switched off.

For a petrol engine with a cata-
lytic converter, unleaded fuel is
compulsory.
Opening the fuel flap Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by
the fuel gauge.
The fi ller neck is narrower to ensure
that only unleaded petrol nozzles
can be put in.
Opening the fi ller cap may create
a noise of an inrush of air. This
vacuum, which is entirely normal,
is caused by the sealing of the fuel
system.
Refuelling

With Stop & Start, never re-
fuel with the system in STOP
mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.

Front airbags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passen-
ger in the event of a front impact.
The driver's airbag is incorporated
in the centre of the steering wheel;
the front passenger's airbag is incor-
porated in the dashboard above the
glove box.
Activation
The airbags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact to all or part of
the front impact zone A , in the lon-
gitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement. Deactivation
This warning lamp comes on
on the roof console display
when the ignition is on and un-
til the air bag is reactivated.
To guarantee the safety of your
child, it is imperative that the pas-
senger airbag is deactivated when
you install a "rearwards-facing" child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were triggered. Activation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch
1 to the "ON" position to re-
activate the airbag and so guarantee
the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.
Operating fault
If this symbol appears on
the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message,
contact a CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked. The airbags
may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact.
Only the front passenger's airbag
can be deactivated:

 with the ignition off , insert the
key in the passenger airbag de-
activation switch 1 ,

 turn it to the "OFF" position,

 then, remove the key keeping
the switch in this position. If this warning lamp fl ashes,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
If both airbag warning lamps come
on continuously, do not install a
"rearwards-facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
