Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank:
- Pe trol:   approximately   50   litres.
-
 
D
iesel:   approximately   45   or   50   litres   (depending   on   version).
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached, t
his   warning   lamp   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   comes   on,   accompanied   by  
a

n   audible   warning,   a   message   and  
t

he   last   bar   of   the   fuel   gauge   flashes  
i

n   red.
To
  refuel   in   complete   safety:
F

F
 
O
pen   the   filler   flap.
A
  label   on   the   inside   of   the   fuel   filler   flap  r
eminds   you   of   the   type   of   fuel   to   use,  
d

epending   on   your   engine   type.
Additions
  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   5   litres   to  
b

e   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
When
 
it
 
first   comes   on,   about 5 litres of fuel
remain
 
in
 
the   tank.
Until
 
sufficient   fuel   has   been   added,   this  
w

arning
 
lamp   appears   every   time   the   ignition  
i

s
 
switched   on,   accompanied   by   an   audible  
w

arning
 
and   a   message.   This   audible   warning  
a

nd
 
message   are   repeated   with   increasing  
f

requency
  as   the   fuel   level   drops   towards   "0 ".
Refuel
 
as
 
soon   as   possible   to   avoid   running   out.Opening
  the   filler   cap   may   result   in   an   inrush   of  
a

ir.   This   is   entirely   normal   and   results   from   the  
s

ealing   of   the   fuel   system.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system
  in   STOP   mode;   you   must   switch  
o

ff   the   ignition   with   the   key.
For
  more   information   on   running   out   of  
f

not persist after the 3rd cut- off; this could
cause malfunctions.
The
  petrol   or   Diesel   engine   of   your   vehicle   is  
f

itted   with   a   catalytic   converter,   a   device   which  
h

elps   to   reduce   the   level   of   harmful   emissions  
i

n   the   exhaust   gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The   filler   neck   is   narrower,   allowing   only  
u

nleaded   petrol   nozzles   to   be   introduced.
Your   vehicle   is   equipped   with   a   safety   device  
w

hich cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Fuel cut- of f
If you have put in the wrong fuel
for your vehicle, you must have the
fuel tank drained and filled with
the correct fuel before star ting the
engine.

a

re   reserved   exclusively   for   vehicles   marketed  
f

or   the   use   of   this   type   of   fuel   (BioFlex  
v

ehicles).   The   quality   of   the   ethanol   must

o   7   %   Fatty   Acid   Methyl   Ester).The
  use   of   B20   or   B30   fuel   meeting   standard  E
N16709   is   possible   in   your   Diesel   engines.  
H

owever,   this   use,   even   occasional,   requires  
s

trict   application   of   the   special   servicing

Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain functions   according   to   the   level   of   charge  
r

emaining   in   the   battery.
When
  the   vehicle   is   being   driven,   the   load  
r

eduction   function   temporarily   deactivates  
c

ertain   functions,   such   as   the   air   conditioning,  
t

he   heated   rear   screen...
The
  deactivated   functions   are   reactivated  
a

utomatically   as   soon   as   conditions   permit.System
  which   manages   the   duration   of   use   of  c
ertain functions to conserve a sufficient level
of
  charge   in   the   battery.
After
  the   engine   has   stopped,   you   can  
s

till   use   functions   such   as   the   audio   and  
t

elematics   system, windscreen   wipers,   dipped  
b

eam   headlamps, courtesy   lamps,   etc.   for  
a

  maximum   combined   duration   of   about  
f

orty minutes.
Energy economy mode
Switching to economy mode
A message then appears in the instrument p
anel   screen   indicating   that   the   vehicle   has  
s

witched   to   economy   mode   and   the   active  
f

unctions   are   put   on   standby.
If
  a   telephone   call   is   being   made   at   this   time,   it  
w

ill   be   maintained   for   around   10   minutes   with  
t

he   Bluetooth   hands-free   system   of   your   audio  
s

ystem.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically n ext   time   the   vehicle   is   driven.
In
  order   to   restore   the   use   of   these   functions  
i

mmediately,   start   the   engine   and   let   it   run:
-
 
f
or   less   than   ten   minutes,   to   use   the  
e

quipment   for   approximately   five   minutes,
-
 
f
or   more   than   ten   minutes,   to   use   the  
e

quipment   for   up   to   approximately  
t

hirty minutes.
Let
  the   engine   run   for   the   duration   specified   to  
e

nsure   that   the   battery   charge   is   sufficient.
Do
  not   repeatedly   and   continuously   restart   the  
e

ngine   in   order   to   charge   the   battery.
A
  flat   battery   prevents   the   engine   from  
s

tarting.

Bonnet
F Open  the   left   hand   front   door. The location of the interior bonnet
release
  lever   prevents   opening   of   the  
b

onnet   when   the   left   hand   front   door  
i

s   shut.
When   the   engine   is   hot,   handle   the  
e

xterior   safety   catch   and   the   stay   with  
c

are   (risk   of   burns),   using   the   protected  
a

rea.
When   the   bonnet   is   open,   take   care   not  
t

o   damage   the   safety   catch.
F  
L

Opening
F Pull  the   release   lever,   located   at   the   bottom  o
f   the   door   aperture,   towards   you.
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.
Do
  not   open   the   bonnet   under   very  
wi

f   its   travel.
F
 
P
ull   on   the   bonnet   to   check   that   it   has

atched   correctly. Because of the presence of electrical
equipment
  under   the   bonnet,   it   is  
r

ecommended   that   exposure   to   water  
(

rain,   washing, ...)   be   limited.
Before
  doing   anything   under   the

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet,   as   certain   areas   of   the   engine  
m

ay   be   extremely   hot   (risk   of   burns)  
a

nd   the   cooling   fan   could   start   at   any  
t

ime   (even   with   the   ignition   off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the   ignition   is   switched   on   using   the  
o

il   level   indicator   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   for   vehicles   so   equipped,   or  
u

sing   the   dipstick.
Checking using the dipstick
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
I f   a   level   drops   significantly,   have   the   corresponding   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
If
  you   find   that   the   level   is   above   the   A   mark   or  
belo

w the B   mark,   do not star t the engine.
-
 
I
f   the   level   is   above   the   MAX
 
mark   (risk  
o

f   damage   to   the   engine),   contact   a  
C

ITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
-
 
I
f   the   level   is   below   the   MIN
 
mark,   you  
m

ust   top   up   the   engine   oil.
A = MA X
B = MIN
To
  ensure   that   the   reading   is   correct,  
y

our   vehicle   must   be   parked   on   a   level  
s

ur face   with   the   engine   having   been   off  
f

or   more   than   30   minutes.
It
  is   normal   to   top   up   the   oil   level   between  
t

wo   services   (or   oil   changes).   CITROËN  
r

ecommends   that   you   check   the   level,   and   top  
u

p   if   necessary,   every   3   000   miles   (5   000   kms).The
  location   of   the   dipstick   is   shown   in   the  
c

orresponding   underbonnet   layout   view.
F
 
T
ake   the   dipstick   by   its   coloured   grip   and  
r

emove   it   completely.
F
 
W
ipe   the   end   of   the   dipstick   using   a   clean  
n

on-fluffy   cloth.
F
 
R
efit   the   dipstick   and   push   fully   down,   then  
p

ull   it   out   again   to   make   the   visual   check:  
t

he   correct   level   is   between   the   marks   A
and
  B.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil, c
heck   that   the   oil   is   the   correct   grade   for   your  
e

ngine   and   conforms   to   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations.
