Cause



Action/Observations






Maximum
coolant
temperature


fi xed red. The temperature of the
cooling system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before
topping up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or qualifi ed workshop.




Engine oil
pressure


fi xed. There is a fault with the
engine lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.




Battery
charge


fi xed. The battery charging circuit
has a fault (dirty or loose
terminals, slack or cut
alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when the engine
is started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.




Low fuel level


fi xed. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately
5 litres of
fuel
in the tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the
ignition is switched on, until a suffi cient addition
of fuel is made.

Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres
(petrol) or 46 litres (Diesel); depending on
version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel).
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel
as this could damage the emission control and
injection systems.

ACCESS
The key cannot be removed from
the lock until the cap is refi tted.
Opening the fi ller cap may cre-
ate a noise caused by an inrush
of air. This vacuum is entirely
normal, resulting from the seal-
ing of the fuel system.
FUEL TANK

Fuel tank capacity: approximately
50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (Diesel);
(Depending on version: approxi-
mately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel)

)

.



Low fuel level

When the fuel tank minimum
level is reached this warning
lamp comes on on the instru-
ment panel. When it fi rst comes
on there remains approximately 5 litres

of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to the "Checks" section.


Filling

A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres,
in order to be registered by the fuel gauge. To fi ll the tank safely:


)
the engine must be switched off,


)
open the fuel fi ller fl ap,

)
insert the key in the cap, then turn it
to the left,

)
remove the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap,

)
fi ll the tank, but do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the pump
;
this could cause malfunctions.
When you have fi lled the tank:


)
put the cap back in place,

)
turn the key to the right, then remove
it from the cap,

)
close the fl ap.






With Stop & Start, never refuel
with the system in STOP mode;
you must switch off the ignition
with the key.

ACCESS
Mechanical device which prevents fi lling
the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.
It avoids the risk of engine damage that
can result from fi lling with the wrong
fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
fi ller cap is removed.
MISFUEL PREVENTION(DIESEL)
*Operation
When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced into
the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel vehicle, it
comes into contact with the fl ap. The sys-
tem remains closed and prevents fi lling.


Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type fi ller nozzle.


It remains possible to use a fuel
can to fi ll the tank.
In order to ensure a good fl ow
of fuel, do not place the nozzle
of the fuel can in direct contact
with the fl ap of the misfuel pre-
vention device and pour slowly.

This tool will become available during
the year.
*
According to country of sale.

Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles
may be different in other coun-
tries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make re-
fuelling 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.



Deactivation

Before refuelling using non-standard
Diesel fuel nozzles (present in some
countries), a tool allows you to tem-
porarily disable the misfuel prevention
device.

Use


)
With the handle vertical
, introduce
the tool into the fi ller neck as far as it
will go.

)
Turn the tool a quarter turn to the
right or left.

)
Remove the tool completely.

)
Fill with fuel.
The misfuel prevention device
will be activated the next time a
standard nozzle is used.
