Fuel


Low fuel level

When the fuel tank level E
(Empty) is reached, this warning
lamp comes on. At this moment,
you have enough fuel left to
drive approximately 30 miles (50 km)
,
depending on the driving conditions, the
engine and the profile of the road. Fill up
without delay to avoid running out of fuel. The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off.


- Open the fuel filler flap.

- Support the cap with one hand.

- With the other hand, insert the key, then
turn it anticlockwise.

- Remove the cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the flap.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 90
litres.


- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.

FUEL SYSTEM CUT-OFF

In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply
to the engine and the vehicle's electrical
supply.
FILLING WITH FUEL

Fuel tanks of different capacities,
60 and 125 litres, may be fitted. Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.
Restore the supply by pressing:


-
the fi rst button,
located below the steering wheel.


- the second button, located in the
battery compartment, under the front
passenger's floor.


In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.






With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you must
switch off the ignition with the key.

Charging the battery using a charger



- disconnect the battery located in the
front left floor,

- follow the instructions for use given by
the battery charger manufacturer,

- reconnect starting with the negative (-)
terminal,

- check that the terminals and connectors
are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (white or greenish deposit),
disconnect them and clean them.
The charging operation must be carried
out in a ventilated area away from naked
flames or any possible sources of sparks to
eliminate the risk of explosion and fire.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before
charging it have it checked by a specialist
who will check that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the
container is not cracked, which could mean
that there is a risk of a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
Proceed with a slow charge charge at low
current for a maximum pf about 24 hours to
avoid damaging the battery.

It is advisable to disconnect the
negative (-) terminal of the battery if the
vehicle is not to be used for a period of

The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be discarded in accordance
with the provisions of the law and must not,
in any circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used batteries to a special collection
point.

If the battery has been disconnected
for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:


- the display parameters (date, time,
language, distance unit and temperature
unit),

- the radio stations,

- the central locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed, consult a CITROËN.
If your vehicle is fitted with a tachograph or
an alarm, disconnection of the negative (-)
terminal of the battery (located under the
floor on the left-hand side, in the cab) is
recommended if the vehicle is not to be used
for a period of more than 5 days.

Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
Close the windows and doors before
disconnecting the battery.
After every reconnection of the battery,

The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
cause premature wear of the battery.

After refi tting the battery by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop, the
Stop & Start system will only be active after
a continuous period of immobilisation of
the vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).

Do not disconnect the battery to
charge it.
