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 of an alert message. When it 
first comes on,  around 6 litres 
 of 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 alert message. When driving, 
this audible signal and the display of this 
alert message are repeated with increasing 
frequency, as the level drops towards  0 
. 
  You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid 
running out. 
  If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to 
"Checks".

system in STOP mode; you must switch 
off 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.

Advice on child seats  
 
 
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a 
vehicle compromises the child's protection 
in the event of an accident. 
  Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt 
buckle under the child seat, as this could 
destabilise it. 
  Remember to fasten the seat belts or the 
child seat harnesses keeping the slack 
relative to the child's body to a minimum, 
even for short journeys. 
  When installing a child seat using the seat 
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened 
correctly on the child seat and that it 
secures the child seat firmly on the seat 
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is 
adjustable, move it for wards if necessary.   For optimum installation of the "for ward-
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of 
the child seat is as close as possible to the 
backrest of the vehicle's seat, in contact if 
possible. 
  You mst remove the head restraint before 
installing a child seat with backrest to a 
passenger seat. 
  Ensure that the head restraint is stored or 
attached securely to prevent it from being 
thrown around the vehicle in the event of 
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when 
the child seat is removed.  
  
 
Installing a booster seat 
 
 
The chest part of the seat belt must be 
positioned on the child's shoulder without 
touching the neck. 
  Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt 
passes correctly over the child's thighs. 
  CITROËN recommends the use of a 
booster seat which has a back, fitted with a 
seat belt guide at shoulder level. 
  As a safety precaution, do not leave: 
   
 
-   a child or children alone and 
unsuper vised in a vehicle, 
   
-   a child or an animal in a vehicle which 
is exposed to the sun, with the windows 
closed, 
   
-   the keys within reach of children inside 
the vehicle.  
  To prevent accidental opening of the doors 
and rear windows, use the "Child lock". 
  Take care not to open the rear windows by 
more than one third. 
  To protect young children from the rays of 
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.  
    At rear seating positions, always leave 
sufficient space between the front seat and: 
   
 
-   a "rear wards facing" child seat, 
   
-   the child's feet for a child seat fitted 
"for wards facing".  
  To do this, move the front seat for wards 
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the 
upright position. 
   
Children at the front 
 
 
The legislation on carrying children on the 
front passenger seat is specific to each 
country. Refer to the legislation in force in 
your country. 
  Deactivate the passenger airbag when a 
"rear ward-facing" child seat is installed on 
the front seat. 
  Other wise, the child would risk being 
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were 
to inflate.

If this warning lamp comes on in 
the instrument panel, contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked. The
