FUEL TANK

Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.
Low fuel level When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and a message in
the multifunction screen.
When it fi rst comes on, around 7 litres
of fuel remain in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added,
this warning lamp comes on every
time the ignition is switched on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and
a message. Depending on the ver-
sion, this audible signal and mes-
sage are repeated with increasing
frequency, as the fuel level drops
towards " 0 ".
You must refuel as soon as possible
to avoid running out. A label on the inner face of the fuel
fi ller fl ap reminds you of the type of
fuel to be used, according to 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 vacuum is
entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.

 Press and hold control A , situ-
ated on the control panel on the
right hand side of the dashboard
until the fuel fl ap opens automat-
ically.
After switching off the ignition, this control remains active for a few
minutes. If necessary, switch the
ignition on again to reactivate it.

 Take care to select the pump
that delivers the correct type of
fuel for your vehicle.

 Introduce the nozzle so as to
push in the metal non-return
valve B .

 Make sure that the nozzle is
pushed in as far as possible
before starting to refuel (risk of
blowback).

 Maintain this position throughout
the refuelling operation.

 Push on the fuel fi ller fl ap to
close it.

A C C E S S
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
introduced.

If you have put in the wrong fuel
for your vehicle, you must have
have the tank drained and refi lled
with the correct fuel before you
start the engine. Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety
device which cuts off the fuel supply
in the event of a collision. The petrol engines are perfectly
compatible with E10 type petrol
biofuels (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.
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 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 cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this
use is subject to strict application
of the special servicing conditions.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or
diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly
prohibited (risk of damage to the en-
gine and fuel system).

EXTERIOR LIGHTING CONTROLS
Control stalk for the selection and
control of the various front and rear
lamps providing the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver's visibility progressively in
relation to the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving con-
ditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better forward vision,
- directional headlamps for im- proved visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during the day. Programming
Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending
on options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic illumination of head-
lamps,
- directional lighting.
Manual controls Lamps off.

Automatic illumination of
headlamps.
Sidelamps only.
Dipped headlamps or
main beam headlamps.

B. Stalk for switching headlamps:

tween dipped headlamps/main
beam headlamps.
In the lamps off and sidelamps
modes, the driver can switch on the
main beam headlamps temporarily
("headlamp fl ash") by maintaining a
pull on the stalk.
Displays
Lighting of the corresponding indi-
cator lamp on the instrument panel
confi rms the switching on of the
lighting selected.

-
1 st turn rearwards: rear foglamp off.
- 1 st turn forwards: front foglamps on.
- 2 nd turn forwards: rear foglamps on.
- 1 st turn rearwards: rear foglamps off.

Model with rear foglamp only Model with front and rear
foglamps
In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, use of the front foglamps
and the rear foglamp is prohibited.
In these situations, the power of
their beams may dazzle other dri-
vers. They should only be used in
fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped beam head-
lamps manually as the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp
when they are no longer necessary.
Switching off the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all
of the lamps turn off immediately,
except for the dipped beam head-
lamps if guide-me-home lighting is
activated.
In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes. Switching on the lamps after
the ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, ro-
tate ring
A to the "0" position - lamps
off, then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of
the sidelamps, switch off automati-
cally after a period that depends on
the state of charge of the battery
(entering energy economy mode).
