If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that
the level is topped up.

Flashing of "OIL --"
indicates a
malfunction of the
engine oil level gauge.
Consult a CITROËN
dealer.

necessary to re-prime the circuit:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve
litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual
re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts. Check that there is no odour or
leakage of fuel outside the vehicle and
re-establish the fuel supply:
- switch off the ignition
(STOP position).

Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly
compatible with biofuels which conform
to current and future European
standards (Diesel fuel which complies
with standard EN 590 mixed with a
biofuel 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 certain
Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or
diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly
prohibited (risk of damage to the
engine and fuel system).
