FUEL TANK
Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning
lamp comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and the display
of an alert message. When it
fi rst comes on, around 6 litres
of fuel remain in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added,
every time the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp appears, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and an alert
message. When driving, this audible
signal and the display of this alert mes-
sage are repeated with increasing fre-
quency, as the level drops towards 0
.
You must refuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to "Checks".
Low fuel level
Refuelling
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
the tank drained and re-
fi 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 mal-
function.
Take care to select the pump that
delivers the correct fuel for your
vehicle.
With Stop & Start, never refuel
with the system in STOP mode;
you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
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.

Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumi-
nation of the sidelamps on the traffi c
side only.
Within one minute of switching off
the ignition, operate the lighting con-
trol stalk up or down depending on
the traffi c side (for example: when
parking on the left; lighting control
stalk upwards; the right hand side-
lamps are on).
This is confi rmed by an audible signal
and illumination of the corresponding
direction indicator warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return
the lighting control stalk to the central
position.
Switching off the lighting when
switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off,
all of the lamps switch off immedi-
ately, except for the dipped beam
headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
Manual guide-me-home lighting
The temporary illumination of the dipped
beam headlamps after the vehicle's ignition
has been switched off makes the driver's
exit easier when the light is poor.
Switching on
With the ignition off, "fl ash" the
headlamps using the lighting stalk.
A further "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting
switches off automatically after a set
time.
Switching on the lighting
when switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the ring A
to position "0"
- lighting off, then to the position of
your choice.
If the lighting is switched on manu-
ally after switching off the ignition,
there is an audible signal when a
front door is opened to warn the
driver that they have forgotten to
switch off the vehicle's lighting, with
the ignition off.
They switch off automatically after a
period which depends on the state
of charge of the battery (entry to en-
ergy economy mode).

Automatic illumination of
headlamps
The sidelamps and dipped beam head-
lamps are switched on automatically,
without any action on the part of the
driver, when a low level of external light
is detected or in certain cases of activa-
tion of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lamps are
switched off automatically.

Turn ring A
to the "AUTO"
position.
The automatic illumination of head-
lamps is accompanied by a mes-
sage in the screen.
Deactivation
Turn ring A
to a position other

companied by a message in the
screen.
Coupling with the automatic "Guide-
me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic illumi-
nation of headlamps provides "guide-
me-home" lighting with the following
additional options:
- selection of the lighting duration to
15, 30 or 60 seconds in the settings
in the vehicle confi guration menu
(except in the case of the mono-
chrome screen A, for which the
duration is set: 60 seconds),
- automatic activation of "guide-me-
home" lighting when automatic illumi-
nation of headlamps is in operation.
In the event of a fault with the
sunshine sensor, the lighting
come on, this warning lamp is
displayed on the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen, accompa-
nied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN or a qualifi ed work-
shop workshop.
Operating fault
In fog or snow, the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient
light. Therefore, the lighting will
not come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sen-
sor, coupled with the rain sensor
and located in the centre of the
windscreen behind the rear view
mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.

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 mov-
ing 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
after 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 accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the
same time,
- if you force the lever from
position 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 gear-
box 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), lo-
cal 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.
