Fuel tank
Low fuel levelFilling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
you of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. When it first comes
on there remains approximately
5 litres of fuel in the tank. To fill the tank safely:
F
t
he engine must be switched off,
F
o
pen the fuel filler flap,
F
i
nsert the key in the cap, then turn it to the
left,
F
r
emove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap,
F
f
ill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause
malfunctions.
When you have filled the tank:
F
p
ut the cap back in place,
F
t
urn the key to the right, then remove it
from the cap,
F
c
lose the flap.
ad
ditions of fuel must be of at least
5
litres to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
op
ening the filler cap may create a
noise caused by an inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system. With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres
(petrol) or 48 litres (Diesel); (Depending
on version: approximately 30 litres
(petrol or Diesel)). For the LPG version:
approximately 33 litres.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (
di
esel), refer also to the
"Checks" section.

Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with
E10 bio-petrol (containing 10 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards E
n
228 and
E
n 1
5376.
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 must
comply with European standard EN 15293.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are per fectly 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
a
c
id
Methyl Ester).
The
b
3
0 biofuel can be used in certain d
i
esel
engines; however, this use is subject to strict
application of the special servicing conditions
indicated in the maintenance and warranty
guide. Contact a CITR
oËn
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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).

Misfuel prevention (diesel)*
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your
di esel 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.
*
a
c
cording to country of sale. 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
s l ow l y.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.
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.
