Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest
items  in   the   bottom   of   the   boot,   as   close   as   possible   to   the  
rear

  seats.
Limit
  the   loads   carried   in   the   vehicle   and   reduce   wind  
resistance

  (roof   bars,   roof   rack,   bicycle   carrier,   trailer...).  
Use

  a   roof   box   in   preference.
Remove
  roof   bars   and   roof   racks   after   use.
At
  the   end   of   winter,   remove   snow   tyres   and   refit   your  
summer

  tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the  label   in   the   door   aperture,   driver's   side.
Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
before
  a   long   journey,
-

at each change of season,
-

 
after
  a   long   period   out   of   use.
d

on't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or
caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil
filter,
  air   filter,   passenger   compartment   filter...)   and  
observe

  the   schedule   of   operations   recommended   in   the  
manufacturer's

  service   schedule.
With
  a   BlueHDi   Diesel   engine,   if   the   SCR   system   is  
faulty

  your   vehicle   becomes   polluting;   go   to   a   CITROËN  
dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop   without   delay   to   have   the  
emissions

  of   nitrous   oxides   brought   back   to   the   legal   level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of
the
  nozzle   to   avoid   any   overflow.
At
  the   wheel   of   your   new   vehicle,   it   is   only   after   the   first  
1

  800   miles   (3   000   kilometres)   that   you   will   see   the   fuel  
consumption

  settle   down   to   a   consistent   average.

REFUELLING
Low fuel level
Filling
The  fuel   tank   must   be   filled   with
the
engine off.
-
 
Open
  the   fuel   filler   flap.
-
 
Insert
  the   key,   then   turn   it   a   quarter  
turn.
-

 
Remove
  the   cap   and   hook   it   onto  
the clip located on the inside of the
flap.
When

  filling   with   fuel,  
a mechanical

  system   prevents  
opening

  of   the   left-hand   side   door.  
When

  the   fuel   filler   flap   is   open,   ensure  
that

  no   one   tries   to   slide   this   door.
Once
  the   flap   has   been   closed,   the  
sliding

  side   door   may   jam,   push   the  
door

  to   close   it   then   open   it.
When the low fuel level is
reached,
 
this
 
warning
 
lamp
 
comes

 
on. A
 

label   affixed   to   the   inside   of   the   flap  
reminds

  you   of   the   type   of   fuel   to   be  
used.
Y

ou   must   fill   with   at   least   5   litres   of   fuel  
for

  it   to   be   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
When
  the   fuel   filler   cap   is   opened,  
there

  may   be   a   slight   inrush   of   air.  
This
 
vacuum

  is   entirely   normal   and   is   due   to  
the

  sealing   of   the   fuel   system.
When
  filling   the   fuel   tank,   do   not  
continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle.
 This
 
could
 
cause   malfunctions.
The
 
capacity
 
of
 
the
 
fuel   tank   is  
approximately

 
60
 
litres.
-
 
After

 
filling
 
the
 
fuel   tank,   lock   the  
cap

 
and
 
close
 
the   flap.
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with E10 bio-petrol (containing
10 % 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.
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.
