FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key
is turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned before the red
zone:
normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
What you should do if the warning lamp
comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The fan may continue to operate for a
certain time up to approximately
10 minutes,
- wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the coolant level and top
it up if necessary.
- 1:
the fuel tank is full, approximately
80 litres.
- 0:
the reserve is now being used, the
warning light comes on continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 8 litres.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6.
What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine run
at idle. As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:
- wait at least one hour after switching
off the engine before carrying out any
work,
- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow
the pressure to drop,
- when the pressure has dropped, check
the level on the expansion bottle,
- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, have
the system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 6.

To change gear easily, always press the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand on
the gear knob as the force exerted, even if
slight, may wear the internal components of
the gearbox over time.
GEARBOXES AND STEERING WHEEL
5-speed gearbox
6-speed gearbox
Reverse gear
In the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar
under the gear knob to engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
In order to drive as fuel effi ciently
as possible with a manual gearbox,
this indicator lamp indicates to the
driver to change up.
The driver remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow this indication, since
the indicator lamp comes on without taking
into account the confi guration of the road, the
amount of traffi c and safety factors.
The lighting of this indicator lamp cannot be
deactivated.
When reverse gear is engaged
and when changing down whilst
decelerating, the function is disabled.

Have the heater checked at least
once a year at the beginning of winter.
Maintenance and repairs should only be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Use recommended
replacement parts only.
Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the low fuel warning lamp
is not on.

FILLING WITH FUEL
Filling with fuel
The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off
.
When this warning light fi rst comes
on and when the needle is at the
start of the red zone, the minimum
fuel tank level has been reached.
At this moment, you have approximately
8 litres
of fuel remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running out of fuel. When filling with fuel, do not open the
left-hand side door, if fitted on your
vehicle, as there is a risk of damage to the
fuel filler flap.
Never continue to drive until you run
out of fuel as this may damage the
emission control and injection systems.
Low fuel level
It is normal to hear an air intake noise when
the cap is opened as there is a vacuum
linked with the sealing of the fuel circuit.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
More than 8 litres of fuel must be added in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 80 litres.
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.
You can lock this door using the
electric child lock. Refer to the
"Accesses" section of chapter 2.
- Open the fuel filler flap.
Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the flap.

FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
DIESEL REPRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to re-prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual
re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts. The flashing of this warning light
is accompanied by a message on
the display.
Check that there is no odour or leakage of
fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish the
fuel supply:
- switch off the ignition (STOP position),
- remove the key,
- put the key back in the ignition,
- switch on the ignition and start.
Quality of the fuel used for Dieselengines Quality of the fuel used for petrolengines
The Diesel engines are perfectly 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 certain
Diesel engines; however, this use is subject
to strict application of the special servicing
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 engines are perfectly 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 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).

DIESEL PRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel,
- open the bonnet,
- unclip the protective cover for access to
the priming pump,
- place the cover to the right of the engine,
- firmly squeeze and release the manual
priming pump until fuel stiffens the pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts,
- place the two slots in the lugs behind
the engine to allow the protective cover
to be refitted,
- clip the protective cover in place,
- close the bonnet. If the engine does not start first time,
do not keep trying.
Operate the priming pump again, then
start the engine.
