LOW FUEL LEVEL


Filling with fuel
The tank must be fi lled with fuel with
the engine off
.


- Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.

- Insert the key then turn it to the left.

- Remove the cap and attach it to
the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap.
It is usual to hear an air intake noise
when opening the cap as there is a
vacuum linked with the sealing of the
fuel circuit.
A label on the inside of the fl ap
indicates which type of fuel to use.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be
added in order to be registered by the
fuel gauge.
If you fi ll your tank, do not continue
after the third cut-off of the pump
nozzle. This could result in vehicle
malfunctions.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK


If the warning light fl ashes, this
indicates a fuel gauge malfunction.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

When the tank's minimum
level is reached, this warning
light comes on, accompanied
by the message "Fuel level
low"
on the display. When
this warning light fi rst comes on, you
have approximately 8 litres
left,
depending on driving conditions and
the engine.
Fill up with fuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out.
Never continue to drive until you run
out of fuel as this could damage the
emission control and injection systems.
The capacity of the tank is
approximately 18 gallons ( 80
litres).


- After fi lling the tank, lock the cap
and close the fl ap.

When the fuel fi ller fl ap is open, a
system limits the opening of the
rear left sliding side door.
The key cannot be removed from the
cap's lock until the cap is refi tted on the
tank.

Environment




Limit the causes of excess consumption


Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest
items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind
resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...).
Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refi t your
summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations on maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to
the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or
caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil fi lter,
air fi lter...) and observe the schedule of operations recom-
mended by the manufacturer.



When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the
nozzle to avoid any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the fi rst
1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel
consumption settle down to a consistent average.
