Misfuel prevention
(Diesel)
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling of the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
the risk of engine damage that can result from
filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted into your
Diesel tank, it comes into contact with the flap.
The system remains closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but inser t a Diesel type filler
nozzle.You can still use a fuel can to fill the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device and pour slowly.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with CITROËN dealer, whether your
vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the
country in which you intend to travel.

Practical information

Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up. When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with a
ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with
antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for
the prevailing conditions, in order to preser ve
the components of the system (pump, reser voir,
pipes, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive level
(with particle filter)
A low additive level is indicated by
illumination of the ser vice warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.

Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
On vehicles fitted with an HDi engine, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
For more information about the Engines, in
particular the location of the different parts
under the bonnet, refer to the corresponding
section.
For more information on Diesel misfuel
prevention , refer to the corresponding section.
If the engine does not start the first time,
don't keep trying, but start the procedure
again from the beginning.
HDi 92 engine
F If the engine does not start after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again
then start the engine.
F

C
lose the bonnet.
BlueHDi engines
F Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of Diesel.
F

S
witch on the ignition (without starting the
engine).
F

W
ait around 6 seconds and switch off the
ignition.
F

R
epeat the operation 10

times.
F

O
perate the starter to run the engine.
Temporary puncture
repair kit
Comprising a compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair of
a tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.
Access to the kit
F Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel.
F

O
pen the bonnet.
F

O
perate the priming pump repeatedly until
resistance is felt (there may be resistance at
the first press).
F

O
perate the starter until the engine starts (if
the engine does not start at the first attempt,
wait around 15
seconds before trying
again). This kit is installed in the storage box, under
the boot floor.
In the event of a breakdown
