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 re
gistered by the fuel gauge.
The key cannot be removed from the lock until the cap is refitted. Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal, resultingfrom the sealing of the fuel system. To
fill the tank safely: )the engine must be switched off, )
open the fuel filler flap, )
inser t the key in the cap, then turn it to
the left,
)remove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap, )fill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump
; this could cause
malfunctions.
When
you have filled the tank: )put the cap back in place, )turn the key to the right, then remove it from the cap, )close the flap. Wh
en the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel. When it
firstcomes on there remains approximately 5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the

Association with the automatic "Guide-me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic illumination of
headlamps provides "guide-me-home" lighting
with the following additional options:
- selection of the lighting duration to 15,30 or 60 seconds in the functions that can
be set in the vehicle configuration menu(except in the case of the monochrome screen A, for which the duration is set:
60 seconds),
- automatic activation of "guide-me-home"lighting when automatic illumination of
headlamps is in operation.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
sunshine sensor, the lighting come on, this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message appears in
the screen, accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light. Therefore, the lighting will not come onautomatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,coupled with the rain sensor and located in the centre of the windscreenbehind the rear view mirror; theassociated functions would no longer be controlled.

Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
pro
gramme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as TractionControl) optimises traction to prevent skiddingof the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automaticallyeach time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a gripor trajectory problem.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on softground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip. )Press the "ESP OFF"button, located on
the left below the steering wheel.
Illumination of the lamp in the button indicates
that the ASR and ESP s
ystems are deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h) except 1.6 litre (THP 150, THP 155 and THP 160) and
RACING petrol engines. )
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again to
reactivate them manually.
Operating fault
The ESP/ASR systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, butthis should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these systems depends on obser vation of themanufacturer's recommendations on:
- wheels (tyres and rims),
- braking components,
- electronic components,
- assembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Illumination of this warnin
g lamp in the
instrument panel and the lamp in the
"ESP OFF"button, accompanied b
y
an audible signal and a message in
the multifunction screen, this indicates
a malfunction of these systems.
Have it checked b
y a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
