Fuel tank
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (Diesel); (Depending on version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel)).
Low fuel level
Filling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
you of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres,
in order to be taken into account by the fuel
gauge.
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may create a
noise caused by an inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal, resulting
from the sealing of the fuel system. To fill the tank safely:
)
the engine must be switched off,
)
open the fuel filler flap,
)
inser t the key in the cap, then turn it to the
left,
)
remove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap,
)
fill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump
; this could cause
malfunctions.
When you have filled the tank:
)
put the cap back in place,
)
turn the key to the right, then remove it
from the cap,
)
close the flap.
When the fuel tank minimum level
is reached this warning lamp comes
on on the instrument panel. When it
first comes on there remains approximately
5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the
"Checks" section.
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.

101Access
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are per fectly compatible
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 reser ved 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 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).

*
According to destination country.
Misfuel prevention *
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.
Operation
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.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the reser voir.
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.
This equipment will become available during
the year.
Tr a v e l l i n g a b r o a d
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.

Closing
Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
If your vehicle is fitted with an HDI engine, the
fuel system must be primed if you run out of
fuel.
This system consists of a priming pump and a
transparent pipe under the bonnet.
)
Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
Diesel.
)
Open the bonnet.
)
Depending on version, unclip the cover to
gain access to the priming pump.
)
Squeeze and release the priming pump
until resistance is felt (could be from the
first application) and fuel appears in the
transparent pipe with the green connector.
)
Operate the star ter until the engine star ts.
)
Depending on version, put the cover back
in position and clip it in place.
)
Close the bonnet.
If the engine does not star t at the first
attempt, do not try again.
Operate the priming pump again, then
the star ter.
)
Take the stay out of the suppor t 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 fully
latched.
