fuel pump Citroen DS4 RHD 2013.5 1.G Owner's Manual

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".


Refuelling




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.






With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
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.

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 reserved 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 certain 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).

121Access


Travelling abroad

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.



















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.
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.

Running out of fuel
(Diesel)


On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel;
refer to the corresponding engine compartment
view.

1.6 litre HDi engine




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 starter until the engine starts
(if the engine does not start at the first
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before
trying again).


If the engine does not start 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 with
a misfuel prevention device, refer to the
"Misfuel prevention (Diesel)" section.

repeatedly until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe.


Tighten the bleed screw.


Operate the starter until the engine starts
(if the engine fails to start at the first
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before
trying again).


If the engine fails to start after a few
attempts, operate the priming pump again,
then the starter.


Put the style cover back in position and
