fy the malfunction by reading the message
displayed in the screen, such as, for example:
- the opening of the doors, boot or bonnet,
- the engine oil level,
- the remote control battery,
- the t

- saturation of the par ticle emission filter on
Diesel vehicles
(see "Checks - § Checks/Particleemissions filter").
For any other malfunctions, contact a CITROËN dealer

deactivated or faulty. Activate the
function (according to country) via the
vehicle configuration menu or contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Fuel tank Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.


Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning
and the display o
f an aler t message. When itfirst comes on, around 6 litresof fuel remain
in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, every time
the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp
appears, accompanied by an audible signal and
an aler t message. When driving, this audiblesignal and the display of this aler t message are
repeated with increasing frequency, as the level
drops towards 0 .
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
runnin
g out.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to
"Checks".
Refuelling
)Press control A
until the automatic openingof 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.
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switchoff the ignition with the key. 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.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines

The petrol engines are per fectly 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). If
you are filling your tank to the top, do notpersist after the third cut- off; this could
cause your vehicle to malfunction. The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle isfitted 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-off

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of acollision.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have havethe tank drained and refilled withthe correct fuel before you star t the engine.
)Introduce the nozzle so as to push in themetal non-return flap B.
)Make sure that the nozzle is pushed in as
far as possible before star ting to refuel(risk of blowback).)Maintain this position while refuelling.)Push the fuel flap to close it.

Access
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are per fectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current andfuture 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).


















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 comesinto contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel typefiller nozzle.
Operation
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 themisfuel prevention device and pour slowly.

Deactivation


Use
)Introduce the tool into the filler neck as far as the handle will allow.)Remove the tool completely.)Fill with fuel.
Before refuellin
g using non-standard Diesel
fuel nozzles (present in some countries), a tool
allows you to temporarily disable the misfuel
prevention device.
The misfuel prevention device will beactivated the next time a standard nozzle is used.

This tool will become available durin
g the year.



Tr a v e l l i ng abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presenceof the misfuel prevention device maymake 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.

Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuelsystem must be primed if you run out of fuel; refer to the engine compar tment view on the "Diesel engine" page.

)
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel. )
Open the bonnet.)
If necessary, unclip the styling cover for
access to the priming pump. ) Squeeze and release the priming pump
repeatedly until resistance is felt (there may
be resistance at the first press). ) Operate the star ter until the engine starts(if the engine does not star t at the first
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before
trying again). ) If the engine does not star t after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again
then start the engine. ) Clip the styling cover back in place. )
Close the bonnet.


If the tank on your vehicle is fitted witha misfuel prevention device, refer to the section "Access - § Misfuel prevention(Diesel)".

)Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
Diesel.)Open the bonnet. )If necessary, unclip the style cover for access to the priming pump. )Slacken the bleed screw.)Squeeze and release the priming pump repeatedly until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe.
)Tighten the bleed screw. )Operate the star ter until the engine star ts (if the engine fails to star t at the first attempt, wait around 15 seconds before
trying again).)If the engine fails to star t after severalattempts, operate the priming pump again,
then the starter. )Put the style cover back in position andclip it in place, ensuring that it has clippedcorrectly.)Close the bonnet.

If the engine does not star t first time, don't keep trying. Star t the procedureagain from the beginning.
