Range
(km)
The number of kilometres which can be covered with the fuel remaining in the tank. Related
to the average fuel consumption over the last few kilometres
travelled.
When the ran

displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed
when it exceeds 100 km.
Current fuel consumption

When the low fuel level in the tank is reached, this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel.
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.
Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank: approximately 50 litres.
A label on the inside of the filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use according to your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Refuelling
)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). )Fill the tank. Do not continue past the thirdcut-off of the nozzle, as this may causemalfunctions. )Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the right. )Push the filler flap to close it.
Opening
)Raise the lever. When it first comes on,
around 5 litres
of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.

Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comesinto contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel typefiller nozzle.
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.
*
Accordin
g to country of sale.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank.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 themisfuel prevention device and pour slowly.
Tr a v e l l i ng abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, thepresence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, werecommend that you check with the CITROËN dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps inthe country in which you want to travel.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have havethe tank drained and refilled with the correct fuel before you start theengine.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are per fectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (containing10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming to Europeanstandards 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 mustcomply with European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed
to run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol (E10 0 type).
For Russia only, the use of RON 92 unleaded petrol is possible.
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are per fectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current andfuture European standards (Diesel fuel whichcomplies 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).

Manual mode
The gears engaged appear insuccession in the instrument panel.
The
gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive mode, without any action on the par t of thedriver. It continuously selects the most suitable gear taking account of:
- optimisation of fuel consumption,
- driving style,
- road conditions,
- v
ehicle load.
For optimum acceleration, when over takinganother vehicle for example, press theaccelerator pedal fully down, beyond the point of resistance. The
gear change requests are only carried out
i
f the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator
pedal during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox changes down automatically so that the vehicle
picks up in the right gear.
Under full acceleration, the change up will not
take place unless the driver operates the gear lever (unless the engine is close to its maximum
speed).
Never select neutral (position N ) when moving.
You can change mode at any time bymoving the gear lever from Ato Mor the other way round.
