A few definitions…
This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.
If dashes are displayed continuously
while driving in place of the digits,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. This function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).
The fuel consumption of your vehicle will
be higher than the official figures obtained
by CITROËN during the first 3 000 miles
(5 000 km) of the vehicle's life.
Range
(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 consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption during the
last few seconds.
Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel consumption since the
last trip computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculated
since the last trip computer zero reset
(ignition on).
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip computer zero reset.
Stop & Start time
counter
(minutes /sec onds or hour s /
minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter calculates the time spent in STOP
mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key.

Rear screen demist - defrost
The control button is located on the air conditioning system control panel.
Switching on
The rear screen demisting/defrosting can only
operate when the engine is running.
)
Press this button to demist /defrost the rear
screen and (depending on version) the door
mirrors. The indicator lamp associated with
the button comes on.
Switching off
The demisting/defrosting switches off
automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current.
)
It is possible to stop the demisting/
defrosting operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator lamp associated with
the button goes off.
)
Switch off the demisting/defrosting
of the rear screen and door mirrors
as soon as appropriate, as lower
current consumption results in
reduced fuel consumption.

Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
Low fuel level
Refuelling
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.
)
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.
)
Introduce the nozzle so as to push in the
metal non-return flap B.
)
Make sure that the nozzle is pushed in as
far as possible before star ting to refuel (risk
of blowback).
)
Maintain this position while refuelling.
)
Push the fuel flap to close it.
If you are filling your tank to the top, do not
persist after the third cut- off; this could
cause your vehicle to malfunction.
When the low fuel level in the tank
is reached, this warning lamp on
the instrument panel comes on,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message in the screen.
When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.

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 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).
The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle is
fitted with a catalytic conver ter, a device which
helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions
in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, the use of unleaded fuel
is compulsory.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded
petrol nozzles only.
Fuel supply cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t the
engine.

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; this must be done slowly.
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.
*
According to country of sale.
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.

Gear shift indicator *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to change up on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system inter venes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
- The system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow accompanied by
the suggested gear.
In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the performance
of the engine (firm pressure on the
accelerator pedal, for example, when
over taking...), the system will not
recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.
*
According to engine.
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
