Safety anti-pinch


If the blind stops and immediately opens again
during a closing manoeuvre:



operate the control until the blind is fully
open,


then operate the control until the blind is
fully closed.

The safety anti-pinch function is not
operational during these operations.


If the blind meets an obstacle during
operation, you must reverse the
movement of the blind. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the blind
control, they must ensure that no one is
preventing correct closing of the blind.
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the blind correctly.
Be aware of children when operating
the blind.



Reinitialisation

If power to the blind is cut off while it is moving,
the safety anti-pinch must be reinitialised:



operate the control until the blind is fully
closed,


continue to press for at least 3 seconds. A
slight movement of the blind will then be
noticeable, confirming the reinitialisation.
In automatic mode and at the end of its travel,
if the blind meets an obstacle while closing it
stops and moves back slightly.

Fuel tank

Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres

.

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.



Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel type for your vehicle's
engine (reminder on a label on the inside of
the filler flap).


Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left.


Remove the filler cap and hang it on its
carrier (on the filler flap).

Opening


If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t the
engine.








With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the START/STOP
button.


Refuelling



Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully
(pushing open the non-return valve A
on
petrol vehicles).


Fill the tank (don't continue past the third
cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause
malfunctions).


Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the
right.


Push the filler flap to close it.

Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter
which reduces harmful emissions in the
exhaust gas.
The filler neck is narrower and allows only
petrol nozzles to be used.

For a petrol engine, the use of unleaded fuel
is
compulsory.



Press the switch
This switch remains active for a few minutes
after switching off the ignition. If necessary,
switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.

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 a message in
the instrument panel screen.
When it first comes on, around 6 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message. This audible signal
and message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops and
approaches "0".
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.


Fuel supply cut- of f

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision. It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device and pour
slowly.
















Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *

Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.




Operation



Travelling abroad

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuelling
impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend 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.

According to country of sale.
