Fuel tank

Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.



Low fuel level

When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and the display of an alert message. When it
first comes on, around 6 litres
of fuel remain
in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, every
time the ignition is switched on, this warning
lamp appears, accompanied by an audible
signal and an alert message. When driving,
this audible signal and the display of this
alert message are repeated with increasing
frequency, as the level drops towards 0
.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to
"Checks".


Refuelling




Press control A
until the automatic opening
of the fuel flap is heard.
This control remains active for a few
minutes after switching off the ignition.
If necessary, switch the ignition on again
to reactivate it.


Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel for your vehicle.






With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key. Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.

Advice on child seats


The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection
in the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the seat
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is
adjustable, move it for wards if necessary. For optimum installation of the "for ward-
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat, in contact if
possible.
You mst remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with backrest to a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when
the child seat is removed.


Installing a booster seat


The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fitted with a
seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- a child or children alone and
unsuper vised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,

- the keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:


- a "rear wards facing" child seat,

- the child's feet for a child seat fitted
"for wards facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.

Children at the front


The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a
"rear ward-facing" child seat is installed on
the front seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate.

when leaving the vehicle, even for a
short time.
In the event of a serious impact, the
electric child lock is switched off
automatically to permit the exit of the
rear passengers.
Any other status of the indicator lamp

lock. Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

187Safety

Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated:



insert the key in the passenger airbag
deactivation switch,


turn it to the "OFF"
position,


then, remove the key keeping the switch in
the new position.
According to version, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and/or in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning lamps display
when the ignition is on and until the airbag is
reactivated. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated when you install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.


Reactivation

When you remove the child seat, turn the
switch to the "ON"
position to reactivate the
airbag and so assure the safety of your front
passenger in the event of an impact.

With the ignition on, this warning
lamp comes on in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning
lamps display for approximately one
minute, if the passenger's front airbag
is activated.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as the noise level when stationary.


Operation


Going into engine STOP mode

With an electronic gearbox, for your
comfort during parking maoeuvres,
STOP mode is not available for a few
seconds after coming out of reverse
gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. The "ECO"
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby automatically:


- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear
lever into neutral and release the clutch
pedal,

- with an electronic gearbox
, at a speed
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear lever into
position N
.
If your vehicle is fitted with the
system, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It resets
itself to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key. STOP mode is not invoked when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start using
the key,

- the electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,

- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,

- demisting is active,

- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.


Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
In this case, the "ECO"
warning
lamp flashes for a few seconds, then
goes off.

This operation is per fectly normal.

The system is reactivated automatically
at every new start using the key.


Reactivation

This system requires a specific battery with a
special specification and technology (reference
numbers available from a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system. In the event of a malfunction with the system,
the "ECO OFF"
switch warning lamp flashes,
then comes on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Operating fault
Maintenance

Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from automatic operation of
START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must be done only
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the switch warning lamp going off and the
display of a message.

In the event of a fault in STOP
mode, the vehicle may stall. All of
the instrument panel warning lamps
come on.
Depending on version, an alert
message may also be displayed asking
you to put the gear lever into position N

and put your foot on the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition, then restart the engine using
the key.
