Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank: approximately 71 litres*.
Low fuel level
When the minimum 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
multifunction screen. When it first comes on,
there remains around 5 litres of fuel in the tank.

5 litres to be taken into account by the
fuel gauge.
The filler neck is narrower to ensure
that only unleaded petrol nozzles can
be put in.
Opening the filler cap may create a
noise of an inrush of air. This vacuum,
which is entirely normal, is caused by
the sealing of the fuel system.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the

To replace a fuse, it is essential to:
-

u
se the special tweezer 1 , placed on the
cover close to the fuseboxes, to extract
the fuse from its holder and check the
condition of its filament,
-

a
lways replace a failed fuse by a fuse of
equivalent rating (same colour); a different
rating could cause a fault (risk of fire).
If the fault recurs soon after replacing the
fuse, have the electrical system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. The replacement of a fuse not
mentioned in the tables below may
cause a serious fault on your vehicle.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
CITROËN declines all responsibility
for the costs incurred in repairing your
vehicle or faults resulting from the
installation of accessories that are not

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles with an electric oil
level gauge, or using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-

I
f the level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you
must top up the engine oil.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and
the cooling fan could start at any time
(even with the ignition off).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine having been off for more than
30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine"
section for the location of the dipstick in the
engine compartment of your vehicle.
F
T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and
remove it completely.
F

W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F

R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between the marks A
and B .
