FUEL CUT-OFF
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
DIESEL PRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual 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 lamp
is accompanied by a message in
the screen.
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).

DIESEL PRIMING BUTTON
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to prime the system using the priming
button:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
Diesel fuel,
- open the bonnet,
- unclip the protective cover for access to
the priming push button,
- place the cover to the right of the
engine,
- firmly squeeze and release the manual
priming pump until fuel stiffens the pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts,
- place the two slots in the lugs behind the
engine to allow the protective cover to
be refitted,
- clip the protective cover in place,
- close the bonnet. If the engine does not start first time,
do not keep trying.
Operate the priming push button again,
then start the engine.

Battery
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. charger
- 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.
The presence of this label indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery
with special technology and specification, for
which the involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or qualified workshop is required when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
cause premature ageing of the battery.

Repairing a wheel
PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT
The kit is located at the left hand rear of the
vehicle.
The temporary puncture repair kit consists
of a compressor and a cartridge (containing
a sealant).
Using the kit
- switch off the ignition,
- affix the speed limitation sticker to the
vehicle's steering wheel to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use,
- check that the switch A
is at position " 0
",
- connect the pipe of the bottle 1
to the
valve of the tyre to be repaired,
- connect the compressor's electrical plug
to the vehicle's 12V socket,
- start the vehicle and let the engine run,
- switch on the compressor by pressing
the switch A
to position " 1
" until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars,
Vehicles supplied with a temporary
puncture repair kit do not have a spare
wheel or tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...).
- remove the compressor, unclip and
store the bottle in a sealed bag to avoid
staining your vehicle with traces of fluid,
- drive immediately, for approximately
two miles (three kilometres), at reduced
speed (between 12 and 37 mph (20 and
60 km/h)), to seal the puncture,
- stop to check the repair and the
pressure,
If, after approximately five to ten
minutes, you are not able to obtain
this pressure, the tyre cannot be
repaired; contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop for roadside
assistance.

- connect the compressor pipe directly to
the valve of the repaired wheel.
- connect the compressor's electrical plug
to the vehicle's 12V socket again,
- start the vehicle again and let the engine
run, Warning, the sealant cartridge contains
ethylene-glycol, this product is harmful
if swallowed and causes irritation to
the eyes. Keep this product out of reach of
children.
The expiry date of the sealant is indicated
under the cartridge.
The cartridge is intended for a single use;
once opened, it must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the cartridge into
the environment, take it to a CITROËN
dealer or to a specialised waste disposal
site.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
- adjust the pressure using the
compressor (to inflate: switch A
in
position " 1
"; to deflate: switch A
in
position " 0
" and press button B
), in
accordance with the vehicle's tyre
pressure label (located on the door
aperture, on the driver's side), then
remember to check that the leak has
been sealed correctly (no further
loss of pressure after several miles
(kilometres)),
- remove the compressor, then stow the
complete kit,
- drive at reduced speed (50 mph
(80 km/h) max) limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 125 miles
(200 km),
- visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have
the tyre repaired or replaced by a
technician.

On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive thetraffi c information.
Wait until the traffi c information is being received correctly (displaying of the traffi c information symbols on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways, ...) are listed for thetraffi c information.
This phenomenon is normal. The system isdependent on the traffi c information available.
The time taken to calculate a route sometimes seems longer than usual.
The performance of the system may slow down temporarily if a CD is being copied onto the Jukebox at the same time as a route is being calculated.
Wait until the CD has been copied or stop the copying before starting the guidance function.
