FUEL
If you should put in fuel that is not suitable for your vehicle'sengine type, it is imperative to have the tank drained beforeyou start the engine again.
While you are refuelling, theengine must be stopped and the
ignition switched off.
When you are seeking to fi ll your
tank, do not persist after the
third cut-off; that could cause
your vehicle to malfunction.
Fuel must be added in quantitiesof more than 5 litres to be reco-gnised by the fuel gauge.
To open the fl ap, press button A. Undo the cap and attach it to the
tab on the inside of the fl ap.
Opening the cap can trigger a
vacuum. This results in a noise caused by the sealing of the fuel circuit.Note: The fuel fl ap is locked when you lock your vehicle with the remote control.
FUEL QUALITY
A label inside the fi ller fl ap tells you
which type of fuel to use.
Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectlycompatible with biofuels whichconform to current and futureEuropean standards (Diesel fuel
which complies with standard EN
590 mixed with a biofuel whichcomplies with standard EN 14214)which can be distributed at thepumps (possible incorporation of 0
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of an
y other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils,
domestic fuel oil, etc.) is strictlyprohibited (risk of damage to theengine and fuel circuit).

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that towbar installation and removal bedone by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If you are towing another vehicle, the latter must be free-wheeling (gearbox in neutral).
Dimensions(in metres):
A:0.971
TOWBAR
(Boat, caravan, etc.)
It is recommended that towbar installation and removal be done
by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-fi ed workshop.
If you are climbing a steep gradient
and the engine gets excessively
hot, certain functions become una-
vailable (e.g. sequential control of
the automatic gearbox, the air con-
ditioning).
If you are towing, it is necessary to
deactivate the parking assistance
by pressing the control on the dash-
board. See "Parking assistance".
It is recommended that
you remove
the towing ball, so that it does not
interfere with the functioning of the
proximity sensors, when you are
not using a trailer.
MAINTENANCE
If cleaning the vehicle with a highpressure system:Your Piloted Defl ector has to be closed.
It is not advisable to clean the
underside of the vehicle, for fear of damaging the electricparking brake.As water may penetrate into
the vehicle interior via the door
apertures, do not target these areas.
Do not direct at the headlamps,
lamps and their edges for too
long or you may damage their coating and seals.

Before positioning the jack, always adjust the vehicle's groundclearance to the "maximum height" position and retain thisadjustment for as long as the jack is under the vehicle (do notuse the hydraulic adjustments).
Never get underneath the vehicle if it is supported only by thejack.
The jack and all the tools are designed specifi cally for use on your particular vehicle. Do not use them for any other applications.
Have the original wheel repaired and refitted as soon aspossible.
It is imperative not to exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) onthe spare wheel.
REMOVAL1. Park the vehicle on stable, fi rm ground that is not slippery. Apply
the parking brake.
2. It is essential to make sure that the occupants have left the vehicle and are in a place where their safety is guaranteed.3. With the engine idling, adjust the ground clearance to maximum height. See "Comfort" and "Ground clearance adjustment". Switch off the
ignition and engage fi rst gear or reverse gear depending on any slope (for a vehicle with automatic gearbox, select position P).4. Position the chock at the wheel that is diametrically opposite the one to
be replaced.
5. Position the jack at one of the four jacking-points provided on thesubframe close to the wheels, then use the handle to unwind the jack until it reaches the ground.
6. Slide the removal tool4 into the notch and lever vigorously to detach
the anti-theft bolt protector. See illustration. You can use the handle at
the extremit
y of the tool 4.7.Slacken the wheel bolts.8. Continue to extend the jack until the wheel is a few centimetres off the ground.9. Undo the bolts, remove the wheel.

SOLUTION RESPONSE

The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) blockreception, including in RDS mode.

The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going through a car wash or into an underground car park).
This phenomenon is normal and does notindicate a failure of the audio equipment.

Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode.

During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station.
Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.

With the engine off,the audio equipment switches off after a fewminutes of use.

When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating timedepends on the battery charge.

The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
The stored stations do not function(no sound, 87.5 Mhz isdisplayed...)
.
An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND AST button to return to the waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the stations are stored.

Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.

The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or thestored stations do not function(no sound, 87.5 Mhz isdisplayed...).

The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerfultransmitter in the geographical area.
