A few definitions…
When the range falls below 20 miles

ing with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range
is recalculated and is displayed when it
exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer. This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
t h e r e l i e f , r e s u l t i n g i n a s i g n i fi c a n t
change in the current fuel con-
sumption. R a n g e
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled. Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel
consumption during the last
few seconds.
A v e r a g e f u e l c o n s u m p t i o n
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption since the last trip
computer zero reset. D i s t a n c e t r a v e l l e d
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.
A v e r a g e s p e e d
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed
calculated since the last trip
computer zero reset (igni-
tion on).
D i s t a n c e r e m a i n i n g t o d e s t i n a t i o n
(km or miles)
This is the distance remaining

tination. It is either calculated instantly
by the navigation system, if guidance is
activated, or entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 type petrol biofuels
(containing 10 % ethanol), conforming
to European standards EN 228 and
EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for ve-
hicles 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 perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard 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 servicing conditions. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or dilut-
ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).

Unclip the stay C from its housing.
Fix the stay in the notch to hold the
bonnet open.
Closing
Take the stay out of the support
notch.
Clip the stay in its housing.
Lower the bonnet and release it at
the end of its travel.
Pull on the bonnet to check that it is
secured correctly.

Depending on version, unclip the
cover to gain access to the priming
pump.
Squeeze and release the prim-
ing pump until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe with the green
connector.
Operate the starter until the engine
starts.
Depending on version, put the cover
back in position and clip it in place.
Close the bonnet.
If the engine does not start at the
fi r s t a t t e m p t , d o n o t t r y a g a i n .
Operate the priming pump again,
then the starter.
