FUEL TANK

Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.

When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning
lamp on the instrument panel
comes on, accompanied by an
audible warning and a mes-
sage in the screen.
When it fi rst comes on, around
6 litres of fuel remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out.


Low fuel level

Refuellin
g

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.
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.

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 be-
fore you start the engine.

)
Press control A
until the automatic
opening of the fuel fl ap is heard.
This control remains active for a few
minutes after switching off the igni-
tion. If necessary, switch the ignition
on again to reactivate it.

If you are fi lling your tank to the top,
do not persist after the third cut-
off; this could cause your vehicle to
malfunction.

)
Take care to select the pump that
delivers the correct fuel for your
vehicle.

)
Introduce the nozzle so as to push
in the metal non-return fl ap B.

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

)
Maintain this position while refuelling.

)
Push the fuel fl ap to close it.

Quality of the fuel used for petrol engines

The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible 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).

Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engines


The Diesel engines are perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard 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 certain
Diesel engines; however, this use is sub-
ject to strict application of the special ser-
vicing 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 dilut-
ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).


Mechanical device which prevents fi ll-
ing the tank of a Diesel vehicle with
petrol. It avoids the risk of engine dam-
age that can result from fi lling with the
wrong fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
fi ller cap is removed.
Operation

When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced
into the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel
vehicle, it comes into contact with the
fl ap. The system remains closed and
prevents fi lling.


Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type fi ller nozzle.



It is still possible to use a fuel
can to fi ll the reservoir.
In order to ensure a good fl ow of
fuel, do not place the nozzle of
the fuel can in direct contact with
the fl ap of the misfuel prevention
device.

This equipment will become available
during the year. 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, the use of un-
leaded fuel is compulsory.

The fi ller neck is narrower, admitting
unleaded petrol nozzles only.


Fuel supply cut-off

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety
device which cuts off the fuel supply in
the event of a collision.

GEAR EFFICIENCY INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.

*
According to engine.


Operation

The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system may
advise you to skip one or more gears. You
can follow this instruction without engag-
ing the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations
must not be considered compulsory. In
fact, the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety remain de-
termining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains re-
sponsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instru-
ment panel screen in the form of an
arrow accompanied by the suggested
gear.

In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when over-
taking...), the system will not rec-
ommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.

Manual operation



)
Select position M
for sequential

changing of the six gears.

)
Push the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.

)
Pull the lever towards the -
sign to
change down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed
and engine speed permit; otherwise,
the gearbox will operate temporarily in
automatic mode.

D
disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion in the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low
or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes for a few seconds, then the ac-
tual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D

(automatic) to position M
(manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1

automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do
not operate in manual mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).



Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P
or N
to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.

If the lever is not in position P
,
when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds af-
ter the ignition is switched off,
there is an audible signal and a
message appears.


)
Return the lever to position P
;
the audible signal stops and
the message disappears.


You risk damaging the gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator
and brake pedals at the same
time,

- if you force the lever from po-
sition P
to another position
when the battery is fl at. When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the multifunction
screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P
to R
and from N
to R
.
This will not cause any damage to the
gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
Operating fault
To reduce fuel consumption
when stationary for long periods
with the engine running (traffi c
jam...), position the gear lever at
N
and apply the parking brake,
unless it is programmed in auto-
matic mode.

STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily on standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, or other...). The en-
gine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.

Operation


Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal, If your vehicle is fi tted with
the system, a time counter
calculates the sum of the pe-
riods in STOP mode during a
journey. It resets itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.

- with the 6-speed electronic gear-
box system
, at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or put the gear lever
into position N
. With the automatic gearbox
system, for your comfort dur-
ing parking maoeuvres, STOP
mode is not available for a few
seconds after coming out of re-
verse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such
as braking, power steering, for
example.
Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,

- the electric parking brake is applied
or being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for a few seconds,
then goes off. Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key.

This operation is perfectly normal.
