Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres
.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.
Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel type for your vehicle's
engine (reminder on a label on the inside of
the filler flap).
Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left.
Remove the filler cap and hang it on its
carrier (on the filler flap).
Opening
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t the
engine.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the START/STOP
button.
Refuelling
Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully
(pushing open the non-return valve A
on
petrol vehicles).
Fill the tank (don't continue past the third
cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause
malfunctions).
Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the
right.
Push the filler flap to close it.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter
which reduces harmful emissions in the
exhaust gas.
The filler neck is narrower and allows only
petrol nozzles to be used.
For a petrol engine, the use of unleaded fuel
is
compulsory.

95Comfort
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the digital air conditioning system.
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
You can switch off the air conditioning (AC button) and stay in Automatic mode in order
to limit fuel consumption. If misting appears while in this mode, you can switch the air
conditioning back on temporarily to improve the situation.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
If you want to prioritise heating, start
and leave the engine running by
pressing ECO OFF.

4. Automatic visibility
programme
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the minimum value 14 or the
maximum value 28.
Turn control 2
or 3

See "Front demisting - defrosting".
2-3. Driver's-passenger's side
settings
The driver and front passenger can
each adjust the temperature to their
requirements.
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and not to a
temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to the right
respectively to decrease or increase this
value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right setting
difference of more than 3.
