Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box inpreference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aper ture, driver's side.Carry out this check in par ticular:- before a long journey,- at each change of season,- after a long period out of use. Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres onany trailer or caravan.

When refuelling, do not continue after the 3rdcut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.

Fuel tank Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.

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.) Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel type for your vehicle'sengine (reminder on a label on the inside
of the filler flap).) Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn
to the left. ) Remove the filler cap and hang it on its carrier (on the filler flap).

Your vehicle is
fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.

This button remains active for a few minutesafter switching off the ignition. If necessary, switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.

Low fuel level

When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied b
y an audible warning
and a message in the instrument
panel screen.
When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuelremain in the tank.

Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts o
ff the fuel supply in the event of a collision.

It remains possible to use a fuel can tofill the tank; this must be done slowly. In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel canin direct contact with the flap of themisfuel prevention device.

















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



Tr a v e l l i ng abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuellingimpossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that you check with the CITROËN dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuelpumps in the country in which you want to
travel.
