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.
