fuel tank capacity CITROEN C4 PICASSO 2017 Owners Manual

190
Fuel
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 57 litres
(petrol) or 55 litres (Diesel).
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel comes on, accompanied by
an audible warning, a message and
the last bar of the fuel gauge lights
up orange.
When it first comes on there remains
approximately 6


litres of fuel in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
warning and a
message. This audible warning
and this message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
Refilling
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5
litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. To refuel in complete safety:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine.
F
W
ith the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
edge of the flap to open it (the filler cap is
a part of it).
F T ake care to select the pump that delivers
the correct type of fuel for your vehicle.
F

I
nsert the nozzle so as to push in the metal
non-return flap.
F

M
ake sure that the nozzle is pushed in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback). If you are filling your tank to the top, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut- off of the nozzle;
this could cause malfunctions.
Your vehicle is fitted 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 filler 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 the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct
fuel before star ting the engine.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
c uts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Opening the filler flap may create a

noise
caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of the fuel
system. F
H
old it in this position throughout the filling
operation.
F
P
ush the filler flap to close it.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
engine in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the "START/STOP"
button.
Practical information

204
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a
system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a
Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in
a
special tank holding about
17


litres.
Its capacity allows a

driving range of around
12,500

miles (20,000

km). An alert system is
triggered automatically once the reser ve level
is reached: you can then drive for a
further
1,500

miles (2,400

km) before the tank is
e m pt y. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6

standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a

confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a
CITROËN
dealer or a

qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a
running distance of
685

miles (1,100

km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning and
indicator lamps and associated alerts,
refer to the corresponding section.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a
heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in very cold conditions.
Practical information

205
Topping up the AdBlue®
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine ser vice on your
vehicle by a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it
may be necessary to top up the fluid between
services, more particularly if an alert (warning
lamps and a


message) signals the requirement.
You can go to a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® is
topped up as soon as the first alert is
issued indicating that the reser ve level has
been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
-

U

se only AdBlue
® liquid that meets the
ISO
22241
standard.
-

N

ever transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
-

N

ever dilute AdBlue
® with water. You can obtain AdBlue
® from a CITROËN
d
ealer or a

qualified workshop.
You can also visit a
petrol station
equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles (for those
versions with access to the AdBlue
® tank
via the fuel filler flap).
Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on
storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It should be stored in
a

cool place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a
year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never keep containers or bottles of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid
is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(when kept in a
cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and water. In the event
of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate) the
eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye
wash solution for at least 15
minutes. If you feel
a

persistent burning sensation or irritation, get
medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (at high temperature,
for example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the vapour.
Ammonia has an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container or bottle.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level
sur face.

Practical information

206
In winter, check that the temperature of the
vehicle is above -11°C. If not, due to freezing,
the AdBlue
® cannot be poured into the tank.
Park your vehicle somewhere warmer for a few
hours before topping up.
In the event of an AdBlue
® breakdown,
confirmed by the message "Add AdBlue:
Starting impossible", you must top up with
at least 5

litres.
Never pour AdBlue
® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue
® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the side of the body, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with
a

damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a

sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, you must wait around 5
minutes
before switching on the ignition, without
opening the driver's door, locking the
vehicle, introducing the key into the
ignition switch, or introducing the key of
the

K
eyless Entr y and Star ting system
into the passenger compartment .
Switch on the ignition, then wait for
10


seconds before starting the engine.
Access to the AdBlue® tank via
the boot
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine ser vice on your
vehicle by a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it
may be necessary to top up the fluid between
ser vices, as soon as an alert (warning lamps
and a

message) indicates it.
You can go to a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you intend to do the topping-up yourself,
read the following procedure carefully.
The supply in a

non-drip bottle simplifies
topping up. F

P
ress the "
START/STOP " button to switch
off the engine.
F
T
o gain access to the AdBlue
® tank, raise
the floor of the boot or, for the 7-seater
version, fold down the seat of the 3
rd row on
the right.
