FUEL TANK

Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.

When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning
lamp on the instrument panel

g

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the fi ller cap may result in an
inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of
the fuel system.

If you have put in the wrong
fuel for your vehicle, you must
have have the tank drained
and refi lled with the correct
fuel before you start the en-
gine.


)
Press control A
until the automatic
opening of the fuel fl ap is heard.
This control remains active for a few
minutes after switching off the igni-
tion. If necessary, switch the ignition
on again to reactivate it.

If you are fi lling your tank to the top,
do not persist after the third cut-off;
this could cause your vehicle to mal-
function.

)
Take care to select the pump that
delivers the correct fuel for your
vehicle.

)
Introduce the nozzle so as to push
in the metal non-return fl ap B.


)
Make sure that the nozzle is pushed
in as far as possible before starting
to refuel (risk of blowback).

)
Maintain this position while refuel-
ling.

)
Push the fuel fl ap to close it.






With Stop & Start, never refuel
with the system in STOP mode;
you must switch off the ignition

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
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 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. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
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).


Mechanical device which prevents fi ll-
ing the tank of a Diesel vehicle with
petrol. It avoids the risk of engine dam-
age that can result from fi lling with the
wrong fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
fi ller cap is removed.
Operation

When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced
into the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel
vehicle, it comes into contact with the
fl ap. The system remains closed and
prevents fi lling.


Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type fi ller nozzle.



It is still possible to use a fuel
can to fi ll the reservoir.
In order to ensure a good fl ow of
fuel, do not place the nozzle of
the fuel can in direct contact with
the fl ap of the misfuel prevention
device.

This equipment will become available
during the year. The petrol or Diesel engine of your ve-
hicle is fi tted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level
of harmful emissions in the exhaust
gases.

For petrol engines, the use of un-
leaded fuel is compulsory.

The fi ller 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 a collision.
