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).

BATTERY
This is housed in a compartment located
underneath the floor, in front of the front
right seat.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If some problems
persist after this operation, please contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month. After the engine has stopped, with the key
in the ignition position, certain functions
(windscreen wiper, electric windows, courtesy
lights, audio equipment, etc.) can only be
used for a cumulative duration of thirty
minutes, to prevent discharging of the battery.
To charge the battery using a batterycharger
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use given by
the battery charger manufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the negative (-)
terminal,
- Check that the terminals and connectors
are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (white or greenish deposit),
disconnect them and clean them.
To start the vehicle from another battery
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+)
terminals of the two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or
black cable to an earth point on the
broken down vehicle as far as possible
from the battery,
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then
disconnect the cables. Once the thirty minutes are over, the active
functions are put on standby and the battery
warning light flashes accompanied by a
message on the display.
To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run
for a few minutes.
The time available will then be double the
time for which the engine was left running.
However, this time will always be between
five and thirty minutes.
A flat battery will prevent the engine from
starting.
