Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the ve-
hicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents
and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
look up the key code and the tran-
sponder code required to order a
new key.


Remote control

The high frequency remote control
is a sensitive system; do not operate
it while it is in your pocket as there
is a possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle, without you being aware
of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle. You
run the risk of stopping it from work-
ing and the remote control would
have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition switch,
even when the ignition is switched
off, except for reinitialisation.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.
However, the vehicle unlocks auto-
matically in the event of a serious
impact causing airbag deployment.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition switch when you leave the
vehicle, even for a short time.


Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifi cations to
the electronic engine immobiliser
system; this could cause malfunc-
tions.


When purchasing a second-
hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys
in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that
only your keys can be used to open
and start the vehicle.







Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

FUEL TANK

Capacity of the tank: approxi-
mately
71 litres

*
.



Low fuel level

When the minimum level
in the tank is reached, this
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message on the multifunction
screen. When it fi rst comes on, there
remains around 5 litres of fuel in the
tank.
You must refuel to avoid running out
of fuel.


)
Press at the top left corner, then
pull open from the left.


)
turn the key a quarter turn to lock
and unlock the fi ller cap,

)
when refuelling, place the cap on
hook A
,

)
fi ll the tank, but do not persist
after the third cut-off
; this could
cause your vehicle to malfunc-
tion.


While you are refuelling, the engine must be stopped and the ignition
switched off.


For a petrol engine with a cata-
lytic converter, unleaded fuel is
compulsory.



Opening the fuel flap

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by
the fuel gauge.
The fi ller neck is narrower to ensure
that only unleaded petrol nozzles
can be put in.
Opening the fi ller cap may create
a noise of an inrush of air. This
vacuum, which is entirely normal,
is caused by the sealing of the fuel
system.


Refuelling








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

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines

The petrol engines are perfectly
compatible with E10 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10% 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).













Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly
compatible with biofuels which con-
form to current and future European
standards (Diesel fuel which com-
plies 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 servicing conditions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or di-
luted, domestic fuel...) is strictly pro-
hibited (risk of damage to the engine
and fuel system).

MISFUEL PREVENTION (DIESEL)
*

Mechanical device which prevents
fi lling the tank of a Diesel vehicle
with petrol. It avoids the risk of en-
gine damage that can result from fi ll-
ing with the wrong fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
fi ller cap is removed.


Operation

When a petrol fi ller nozzle is intro-
duced into the fuel fi ller neck of your
Diesel vehicle, it comes into contact
with the fl ap. The system 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 prevention de-
vice and pour slowly.
* According to country of sale.

Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device may make refuelling impos-
sible.
Before travelling abroad, we rec-
ommend 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.
