in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the maintenance
and warranty guide which correspond
to your vehicle's engine.
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Only use products recommended
by CITROËN or products
of equivalent quality and
specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or in winter, ice may form on the brake
discs and pads: braking effi ciency may
be reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the fi lter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.
To drain the water, unscrew
the bleed screw located on the fi lter.
Operate until all of the water no longer
fl ows in the transparent pipe, then
tighten the bleed screw.
HDi engines use advanced technology.
All work requires special training, which
is assured by a CITROËN dealer.

FILLING WITH FUEL
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be fi lled with the
engine off .
- Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.
- Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap.
When fi lling with fuel, a
mechanical system prevents
opening of the left-hand side door.
When the fuel fi ller fl ap is open, ensure
that no one tries to slide this door.
Once the fl ap has been closed, the
sliding side door may jam, push the
door to close it then open it.
When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
light comes on.
You then have
approximately 8 litres of
fuel remaining. Fill up without delay to
avoid running out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control and injection systems. A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fi ll with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel fi ller cap is opened,
there may be a slight air suction noise.
This vacuum is entirely normal and is
due to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When fi lling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the
nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.
- After fi lling the fuel tank, lock the cap and close the fl ap.
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly
compatible with E10 or E24 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10 % or 24 %
ethanol), conforming to European
standards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to
85 % ethanol) are reserved exclusively
for vehicles marketed for the use of
this type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The
quality of the ethanol must comply with
European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).

The Diesel engines are perfectly
compatible with biofuels which conform
to current and future European
standards (Diesel fuel which complies
with standard EN 590 mixed with a
biofuel which complies with standard
EN 14214) available at the pumps
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)
