ISOFIX child seat
This child seat can also be used on seats which are not fitted with ISOFIX mountings.
I n  this  case,  it  must  be  attached  to  the  vehicle  seat  using  the  three  point  seat  belt.
Adjust
 the  front  seat  of  the  vehicle  so  that  the  child's  feet  do  not  touch  the  backrest.
Follow the instructions for fitting the child seat given in the seat manufacturer's installation guide.

Fuel tankFuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (diesel) or 33 litres (LPg) ;
(dep ending on version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or di esel)).
Low fuel level
Filling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds you  of  the  type  of  fuel  to  be  used  depending  on Â
y
our
 eng
ine.
Additions
 of  fuel  must  be  of  at  least  7  litres,  in Â
o
rder  to  be  registered  by  the  fuel  gauge.The
 key  cannot  be  removed  from  the Â
l
ock  until  the  cap  is  refitted.
Opening
 the  filler  cap  may  create  a Â
n
oise  caused  by  an  inrush  of  air.  This Â
v
acuum  is  entirely  normal,  resulting Â
f
rom  the  sealing  of  the  fuel  system.
To
 fill  the  tank  safely:
F
t
he engine must be switched off,
F
o
pen the fuel filler flap,
F
Â
i
nsert  the  key  in  the  cap,  then  turn  it  to  the Â
l
eft,F
 r emove  the  cap  and  hook  it  onto  the  clip Â
l
ocated on the inside of the flap,
F
Â
f
ill  the  tank,  but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ;
 this  could  cause Â
m
alfunctions.
When
 you  have  filled  the  tank:
F
Â
p
ut  the  cap  back  in  place,
F
Â
t
urn  the  key  to  the  right,  then  remove  it Â
f
rom  the  cap,
F
Â
c
lose  the  flap.
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached  this  warning  lamp  comes  on o
n  the  instrument  panel.  When  it  first
 c
omes  on  there  remains  approximately
5 litres
 of  fuel  in  the  tank.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in  STOP  mode;  you  must  switch Â
o
ff  the  ignition  with  the  key.
You
Â
must  refuel  as  soon  as  possible  to  avoid Â
r
unning  out  of  fuel.
If
Â
you
Â
run  out  of  fuel  (Diesel),  refer  also  to  the Â
"
Checks"

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
f
or
Â
BlueHDi  Diesel  engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity  with  the  new  Euro  6  emissions Â
s
tandard,  without  adversely  affecting  the Â
p
er formance  or  fuel  consumption  of  Diesel Â
e
ngines,  CITROËN  has  taken  the  decision  to Â
e
quip  its  vehicles  with  an  effective  system  that Â
a
ssociates  SCR  (Selective  Catalytic  Reduction) Â
w
ith  a  particle  filter  (FAP)  for  the  treatment  of Â
e
xhaust  gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing u
rea, a catalytic converter turns up to
85%Â of
Â
nitrous
Â
oxides
Â
(NOx)
Â
into
 nitrogen Â
a
nd
Â
water,
Â
which
Â
are
Â
harmless
Â
to  health  and Â
t
he environment. The AdBlue
® additive is held in a special
tank
Â
located
 under  the  boot  at  the  rear  of Â
t
he
Â
vehicle.
Â
It  has  a  capacity  of  17  litres:  this Â
p
rovides
Â
a
Â
driving  range  of  about  12  500  miles Â
(
20
Â
000
Â
km),
 after  which  an  alert  is  triggered Â
w
arning
Â
you
Â
when  the  reserve  remaining  is Â
e
nough
Â
for
Â
just  1  500  miles  (2  400  km).
During
Â
each
 scheduled  service  of  your  vehicle Â
b
y
Â
a
Â
CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop, Â
t
he AdBlue
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
Â
normal  operation  of  the  SCR  system.
If
Â
the
Â
estimated  mileage  between  two  services Â
i
s
Â
greater
Â
than  12  500  miles  (20  000  km),  we Â
r
ecommend
 that  you  go  to  a  CITROËN  dealer Â
o
r
Â
a
Â
qualified  workshop  to  have  the  necessary Â
t
op-up
Â
carried  out. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
Â
system
Â
required
 by  regulations Â
p
revents
Â
starting
Â
of  the  engine.
If the SCR
is faulty, the level of
emissions
Â
from
Â
your  vehicle  will  no Â
l
onger
Â
meet
Â
the
Â
Euro  6  standard:  you Â
v
ehicle
Â
becomes
Â
polluting.
In
Â
the
Â
event
Â
of
Â
a
Â
confirmed  fault Â
w
ith
Â
the
Â
SCR
Â
system,  you  must  go Â
t
o
Â
a
Â
CITROËN
Â
dealer  or  a  qualified Â
w
orkshop
Â
as
Â
soon  as  possible:  after Â
a
Â
running
Â
distance  of  650  miles Â
(
1Â 100
Â
km),
Â
a
Â
system  will  be  triggered Â
a
utomatically
Â
to
Â
prevent  engine Â
s
tarting.
