LOW FUEL LEVEL Filling with fuel
The tank must be fi lled with fuel with

the engine off .
- Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.
- Insert the key then turn it to the left.
- Remove the cap and attach it to the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap.
It is usual to hear an air intake noise
when opening the cap as there is a
vacuum linked with the sealing of the
fuel circuit.
A label on the inside of the fl ap
indicates which type of fuel to use.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be
added in order to be registered by the
fuel gauge.
If you fi ll your tank, do not continue
after the third cut-off of the pump
nozzle. This could result in vehicle
malfunctions.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
If the warning light fl ashes, this
indicates a fuel gauge malfunction.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
When the tank's minimum
level is reached, this warning
light comes on, accompanied
by the message "Fuel level
low" on the display. When
this warning light fi rst comes on, you
have approximately 8 litres left,
depending on driving conditions and
the engine.
Fill up with fuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out.
Never continue to drive until you run
out of fuel as this could damage the
emission control and injection systems. The capacity of the tank is
approximately 18 gallons (
80 litres).
- After fi lling the tank, lock the cap and close the fl ap. When the fuel fi ller fl ap is open, a
system limits the opening of the
rear left sliding side door.
The key cannot be removed from the
cap's lock until the cap is refi tted on the
tank.
