when leaving the vehicle, even for a
short time.
In the event of a serious impact,
the electric child lock is deactivated

Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank: approximately 71 litres*.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel 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 display
screen. When it first comes on, there remains
around 5 litres of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel to avoid running out of fuel.
F Press at the top left corner, then pull on its
edge. While you are refuelling, the engine must be
stopped and the ignition switched off.
F
Turn the key a quarter turn to lock and
unlock the filler cap.
F When refuelling, place the cap on hook A .
F Fill the tank, but do not persist after the
third cut-off ; this could cause your vehicle
to malfunction.
For a petrol engine with a catalytic
converter, the use of unleaded fuel is
compulsory.
The filler neck is narrower to ensure that only
unleaded petrol nozzles can be put in.
Opening the fuel flap Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by the
fuel gauge.
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
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
* 55 litres for Slovakia.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel 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. 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.
Operation
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.

Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with
E10 bio-petrol (containing 10 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards EN 228
and EN 15376.
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 compatible 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 Acid Methyl Ester).
B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel
engines. However, this use, even occasional,
requires strict application of the special
servicing conditions. Contact a CITROËN
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).
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device may make refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so 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.
