5 litres of fuel in the tank.


Filling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap remindsyou of the type of fuel to be used depending onyour engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 7 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.To

)
inser t the key in the cap, then turn it to
the left,
) remove the cap and hook it onto the cliplocated on the inside of the flap, )

; this could cause
malfunctions.
When

turn the key to the right, then remove it
from the cap,
) close the flap.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
runnin
g out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the
"Checks" section.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately
50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (Diesel) or 37 litres (LPG); (Depending on version:
approximately 30 litres (petrol or Diesel)).
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switchoff the ignition with the key.

The key cannot be removed from thelock until the cap is refitted. Opening the filler cap may create anoise caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel system.

with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (containing10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming to Europeanstandards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol mustcomply with European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed
to run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol (E10 0 type).
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are per fectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current andfuture European standards (Diesel fuel whichcomplies with standard EN 590 mixed with abiofuel which complies with standard EN 14214)available at the pumps (containing up to 7 %Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer tain Diesel engines; however, this use is subject to strict
application of the special ser vicing conditions.Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
the risk of en
gine 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.
















Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comesinto contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel typefiller nozzle.

*
According to country of sale.
It remains possible to use a fuel can tofill 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.
Tr a v e l l i ng 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.

fuel.
This system consists of a priming pump and a
transparent pipe under the bonnet.
)Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of Diesel. )Open the bonnet. )Depending on version, unclip the cover togain access to the priming pump.)Squeeze and release the priming pump until resistance is felt (could be from thefirst application) and fuel appears in the
transparent pipe with the green connector.)Operate the star ter until the engine star ts. )Depending on version, put the cover back in position and clip it in place.)Close the bonnet.
If the engine does not star t at the first attempt, do not try again. Operate the priming pump again, thenthe starter.
