FUEL
If you should put in fuel that is not suitable for your vehicle'sengine type, it is imperative to have the tank drained beforeyou start the engine again.
While you are refuelling, theengine must be stopped and the
ignition switched off.
When you are seeking to fi ll your
tank, do not persist after the
third cut-off; that could cause
your vehicle to malfunction.
Fuel must be added in quantitiesof more than 5 litres to be recog-
nised by the fuel gauge.
To open the fl ap, press button A. Undo the cap and attach it to the
tab on the inside of the fl ap.
Opening the cap can trigger a vac-uum. This results in a noise caused
by the sealing of the fuel circuit.Note: The fuel fl ap is locked when you lock your vehicle with the remote control.
FUEL QUALITY
A label inside the fi ller fl ap tells you
which type of fuel to use.
Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectlycompatible with biofuels whichconform to current and futureEuropean standards (Diesel fuel
which complies with standard EN
590 mixed with a biofuel whichcomplies with standard EN 14214)which can be distributed at thepumps (possible incorporation of0 to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of an
y other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils,
domestic fuel oil, etc.) is strictlyprohibited (risk of damage to theengine and fuel circuit).

A few defi nitions

Range:displays the distance which can be travelled with the remaining fueldetected in the tank, based on the average consumption over the last fewmiles (kilometres).

This displayed value may vary signifi cantly following a change in the vehicle speed or the relief of the route.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed. After fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is displayed as soon as it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If, whilst driving, dashes are displayed continuously in place of digits, contact a CITROÀN dealer.g


Current fuel consumption:
only calculated and displayed above 20 mph(30 km/h).


Average fuel consumption:
this is the average fuel consumption sincethe last trip recorder zero reset.


Distance travelled: calculated since the last trip computer zero reset.


Distance remaining to the destination: calculated with reference to the fi nal destination entered by the user. If guidance is activated, the navigation system calculates it as a current value.

Average speed: this is the average speed calculated since the last tripcomputer zero reset (ignition on).
