Practical information

Fuel tankFuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (diesel) or 33 litres (LPg) ;
(dep ending on version: approximately 30 litres (petrol or di esel)).
Low fuel level
Filling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds you   of   the   type   of   fuel   to   be   used   depending   on  
y

our
 eng
ine.
Additions
  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   7   litres,   in  
o

rder   to   be   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.The
  key   cannot   be   removed   from   the  
l

ock   until   the   cap   is   refitted.
Opening
  the   filler   cap   may   create   a  
n

oise   caused   by   an   inrush   of   air.   This  
v

acuum   is   entirely   normal,   resulting  
f

rom   the   sealing   of   the   fuel   system.
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  
l

eft,F
 r emove   the   cap   and   hook   it   onto   the   clip  
l

ocated   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  
m

alfunctions.
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  
f

rom   the   cap,
F
 
c
lose   the   flap.
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached   this   warning   lamp   comes   on o

n   the   instrument   panel.   When   it   first
 c

omes   on   there   remains   approximately
5 litres
  of   fuel   in   the   tank.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system  in   STOP   mode;   you   must   switch  
o

ff   the   ignition   with   the   key.
You
 
must   refuel   as   soon   as   possible   to   avoid  
r

unning   out   of   fuel.
If
 
you
 
run   out   of   fuel   (Diesel),   refer   also   to   the  
"

Checks"

ection.

Fuel used for diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with b

  biofuel   can   be   used   in   certain   Diesel  
e

ngines.   However,   this   use,   even   occasional,  
r

equires   strict   application   of   the   special

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*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
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel   filler   neck   of   your   Diesel   vehicle,   it   comes

Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may b

ITROËN   dealer   network,   whether  
y

our vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps
  in   the   country   in   which   you   want
