Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.
)
Press control A
until the automatic opening
of the fuel flap is heard.
This control remains active for a few minutes
after switching off the ignition. If necessary,
switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.
)
Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel for your vehicle.
)
Introduce the nozzle so as to push in the

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

accompanied by an audible warning
and a message in the screen.
When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are per fectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (containing
10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming to European
standards 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 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 per fectly compatible
with 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 strict
application 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
damage to the engine and fuel system).
The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle is
fitted with a catalytic conver ter, a device which
helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions
in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, the use of unleaded fuel
is compulsory.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded
petrol nozzles only.
Fuel supply cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t the
engine.

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.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Operation
It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill the tank; this must be done slowly.
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.
This equipment will become available during
the year.
*
According to country of sale.
Tr a v e l l i n g a b r o a d
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may
make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend
that you check with the CITROËN dealer
network, whether your vehicle is suitable
for the fuel pumps in the country in
which you want to travel.
