Fuel tank Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (Diesel) or 33 litres (LPG); (Depending on version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel)).

g
A label affixed to the inside of the flap remindsyou of the type of fuel to be used depending onyour engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 7 litres, in
order to be re
gistered by the fuel gauge.
The key cannot be removed from the lock until the cap is refitted. Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal, resultingfrom the sealing of the fuel system. To
fill the tank safely: )the engine must be switched off,)
open the fuel filler flap,)
inser t the key in the cap, then turn it to
the left,
)remove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap, )fill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump
; this could cause
malfunctions.
When
you have filled the tank:)put the cap back in place,)turn the key to the right, then remove it from the cap,)close the flap. Wh
en the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel. When it
firstcomes on there remains approximately 5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the
"Checks" section.
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.

Access
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines

The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (containing10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming to Europeanstandards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
are reser ved exclusively for vehicles marketed for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol mustcomply with European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed
to run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol(E10 0 type).
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are per fectly compatiblewith biofuels which conform 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 strictapplication of the special ser vicing conditions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
dama
ge to the engine and fuel system).
For the DS3 R ACING, CITROËNstrongly recommends the use of 98 RON unleaded petrol to ensure
optimum operation of the engine (refer to the label inside the fuel filler flap).

* According to country of sale.

















Misfuel prevention (Diesel) * Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the
wrong fuel.
Located in the
filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The s
ystem remainsclosed and prevents filling.Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank. In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device and pour slowly.



Tr a v e l l i ng abroad

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles maybe different in other countries, thepresence of the misfuel preventiondevice may make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, werecommend that you check with theCITROËN dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the country in which you want to travel.

Closing








Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
If your vehicle is fitted with an HDI engine, thefuel system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
This system consists of a priming pump and a
transparent pipe under the bonnet.
)Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
Diesel.)Open the bonnet. )Depending on version, unclip the cover togain access to the priming pump.)Squeeze and release the priming pump
until resistance is felt (could be from the
first application) and fuel appears in the
transparent pipe with the green connector. )Operate the star ter until the engine star ts.)Depending on version, put the cover back in position and clip it in place.)Close the bonnet.
If the engine does not star t at the firstattempt, do not try again. Operate the priming pump again, thenthe starter.
)Take the stay out of the support notch.)Clip the stay in its housing. )Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of its travel. )Pull on the bonnet to check that it is fully latched.
