Lost electronic key

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document and your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the transponder code required to order a new key.

The electronic key is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without
you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your electronic key out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The electronic key cannot operate as a remote control when it is in the reader or even when the ignition is switched on.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency ser vices more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, even for a very short time.
In all cases, take the remote control or electronic key (if Keyless Entry and Starting) with you when leaving the vehicle.

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.

off the ignition with the START/STOP
button.


Refuelling

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.
