Low fuel level
When the fuel tank level E
(Empty) is reached, this warning
lamp comes on. At this moment,
you have enough fuel left to

,
depending on the driving conditions, the
engine and the profile of the road. Fill up
without delay to avoid running out of fuel. The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off.

- With the other hand, insert the key, then
turn it anticlockwise.

- Remove the cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the flap.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 90
litres.


- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.
FUEL SYSTEM CUT-OFF

In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply
to the engine and the vehicle's electrical
supply.

PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT

Procedure



- Apply the parking brake. Unscrew the
tyre valve cap, remove the filling hose B
and screw the ring E
onto the tyre valve,
- start the engine,

- insert the connector G
into the nearest
power socket on the vehicle,

- switch on the compressor by placing the
switch F
in position I
(on),

- inflate the tyre to a pressure of 4 bars.
To obtain a more accurate reading, you are
advised to check the pressure value on the
pressure gauge H
, with the compressor off.

- check that the switch F
on the
compressor is in position 0 (off), This temporary puncture repair kit is located
at the front of the passenger compartment.
It consists of:


- a cartridge A
, containing the sealant
fluid, equipped with:


●
a filling hose B
,

●
a sticker C
indicating "max. 80 km/h",
which the driver must affix in full view
(on the dashboard) after repairing
the tyre,

- a quick guide to use of the repair kit,

- a compressor D
equipped with a
pressure gauge and unions,

- adaptors, for the inflation of various
items.

Changing a wheel



- If a pressure of at least 3 bars
is not
reached within 5 minutes, disconnect
the compressor from the valve and the
power socket, then move the vehicle
forward by approximately 10 metres to
distribute the sealant fluid inside the
tyre.

- Then repeat the inflating operation:


●
if a pressure of at least 3 bars
is not
reached within 10 minutes, switch off
your vehicle: the tyre has suffered too
much damage and repair has not been
possible. Consult a CITROËN dealer.

●
if the tyre has been inflated to a
pressure of 4 bars
, set off again
immediately.

After driving for approximately 10 minutes,
stop and check the pressure of the tyre
again.
Adjust the pressure if necessary and contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Checking and adjusting the pressure

The compressor can only be used to check
and adjust the pressure.


- Disconnect the hose I
and connect it to
the tyre valve directly; the cartridge will
then be connected to the compressor
and the filling fluid will not be injected.
If it is necessary to deflate the tyre, connect
the hose I
to the tyre valve and press the
yellow button, placed in the centre of the
switch on the compressor.


Replacing the sealant fluidcartridge

To replace the cartridge, carry out the
following operations:


- disconnect the hose I
,

- turn the cartridge to be replaced
