ACCESS
FUEL TANK

Capacity of the tank: approxi-
mately 60 litres.



Low fuel level

When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
on the instrument panel
comes on, accompanied by
an audible warning and a message
on the multifunction screen.
When it fi rst comes on, about 7 litres

of fuel remain in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel has been
added, this warning lamp appears
every time the ignition is switched
on, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message. Depending
on version, this audible warning
and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel
level drops towards " 0
".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out. A label on the inside of the fuel fi ller
fl ap reminds you of the type of fuel
to use, depending on your engine
type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be registered by the fuel
gauge.

Refuelling


If you are fi lling your tank to
the top, do not persist after the
3rd cut-off; this could cause
malfunctions.






With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition with the
key. Opening the fi ller cap may result in
an inrush of air. This is entirely nor-
mal and results from the sealing of
the fuel system.

the dashboard, until the fuel fl ap
opens.
This control switch remains ac-
tive for a few minutes after
switching of the ignition. If nec-

again to reactivate it.

ACCESS
The petrol or Diesel engine of your ve-
hicle is fi tted with a catalytic converter, a
device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.

For petrol engines, you must use
unleaded fuel.
The fi ller neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be intro-
duced.

If you have put in the wrong fuel
for your vehicle, you must have
the fuel tank drained and fi lled
with the correct fuel before start-
ing the engine.













Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines











Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

Fuel cut-off

Your vehicle is equipped with a safe-
ty device which cuts off the fuel sup-
ply in the event of a collision.
The petrol engines are perfectly
compatible with E10 or E24 type pet-
rol 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 exclu-
sively for vehicles marketed for the
use of this type of fuel (BioFlex ve-
hicles). The quality of the ethanol
must comply with European stan-
dard 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 con-
form to current and future European
standards (Diesel fuel which com-
plies 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 cer-
tain 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)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or di-
luted, domestic fuel...) is strictly pro-
hibited (risk of damage to the engine
and fuel system).

Priming the fuel system

In the event of running out of fuel:


)
after fi lling (minimum 5 litres),
squeeze the manual priming
pump repeatedly, until some re-
sistance is felt,

)
then operate the starter, gently
pressing the accelerator until the
engine starts.
If the engine fails to start at the fi rst
attempt, wait 15 seconds before
trying again.
If the engine fails to start after a few
attempts, repeat the procedure from
the beginning. When the engine is
idling, accelerate gently to complete
the purge of the circuit.

HDi engines are of a highly
technical nature.
All maintenance and repairs
must be done only by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
