Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached, t
his   warning   lamp   comes   on   in   the  
i

nstrument   panel,   accompanied   by   an  
a

udible   warning   and   a   message   and  
t

he   last   bar   of   the   fuel   gauge   comes  
o

t

he   correct   type   of   fuel   for   your   vehicle.

If you are filling your tank to the top, do
not persist after the 3rd cut- off; this could
cause malfunctions.
A
  label   on   the   inside   of   the   fuel   filler   flap  
r

eminds   you   of   the   type   of   fuel   to   use,  
d

epending   on   your   engine   type.
Additions
  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   5   litres   to  
b

e   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
When
 
it
 
first   comes   on,   about 6 litres of fuel
remain
 
in
 
the   tank.
Until
 
sufficient   fuel   has   been   added,   this  
w

arning
 
lamp   appears   every   time   the   ignition  
i

s
 
switched   on,   accompanied   by   an   audible  
w

arning
 
and   a   message.   This   audible   warning  
a

nd
 
message   are   repeated   with   increasing  
f

requency
  as   the   fuel   level   drops   towards   "0 ".
Refuel
 
as
 
soon   as   possible   to   avoid   running   out.Opening
  the   filler   flap   may   result   in   an   inrush   of  
a

ir.   This   is   entirely   normal   and   results   from   the  
s

the   ignition   with   the   START/STOP  
b

utton.

Practical information

256
The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle is fitted   with   a   catalytic   converter,   a   device   which  
h

elps   to   reduce   the   level   of   harmful   emissions  
i

n   the   exhaust   gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded fuel.The filler neck is narrower, allowing only unleaded   petrol   nozzles   to   be   introduced.
If you have put in the wrong fuel
for your vehicle, you must have the
fuel tank drained and filled with
the correct fuel before star ting the
engine.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device w hich cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the f uel   filler   neck   of   your   Diesel   vehicle,   it   comes  
i

nto   contact   with   the   flap.   The   system   remains  
c

losed   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  
e

ngine   damage   that   can   result   from   filling   with   the   wrong   fuel.
It   remains   possible   to   use   a   fuel   can   to  
f

ill   the   tank.
In   order   to   ensure   a   good   flow   of   fuel,  
d

o   not   place   the   nozzle   of   the   fuel   can  
i

n   direct   contact   with   the   flap   of   the  
m

isfuel   prevention   device   and   pour  
s

l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may b
e   different   in   other   countries,   the  
p

resence   of   the   misfuel   prevention  
d

evice   may   make   refuelling   impossible.
Before
  travelling   abroad,   we  
r

ecommend   that   you   check   with   the  
C

ITROËN   dealer   network,   whether   your  
v

ehicle   is   suitable   for   the   fuel   pumps   in  
t

he   country   in   which   you   want   to   travel.
* Depending
 
on
 
the
 
country

Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with E10   bio-petrol   (containing   10   %   ethanol),  
c

onforming   to   European   standards   EN   228   and  
E

N
 1
5376.
E85
  type   fuels   (containing   up   to   85   %   ethanol)  
a

re   reserved   exclusively   for   vehicles   marketed  
f

or   the   use   of   this   type   of   fuel   (BioFlex  
v

ehicles).   The   quality   of   the   ethanol   must  
c

omply   with   European   standard   EN   15293.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels   available   at   the   pumps   which   meet  
c

urrent   and   future   European   standards:
-
 
D
iesel   fuel   that   meets   standard   EN   590  
m

ixed   with   a   biofuel   that   meets   standard  
E

N

214,
-
 
D
iesel   fuel   that   meets   standard   EN16734  
m

ixed   with   a   biofuel   that   meets   standard  
E

N14214   (possibly   containing   up   to   10   %  
F

atty   Acid   Methyl   Ester),
-
 
P
araffinic   Diesel   fuel   that   meets   standard  
E

N15940   mixed   with   a   biofuel   that   meets  
s

tandard   EN14214   (possibly   containing   up  
t

o   7   %   Fatty   Acid   Methyl   Ester).The
  use   of   B20   or   B30   fuel   meeting   standard  E
N16709   is   possible   in   your   Diesel   engines.  
H

owever, this use, even occasional, requires
strict
  application   of   the   special   servicing  
c

onditions   referred   to   as   "Arduous   conditions".  
F

or   more   information,   contact   a   CITROËN  
d

ealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable
  or   animal   oils,   pure   or   diluted,  
d

omestic   fuel...)   is   strictly   prohibited   (risk   of  
d

amage   to   the   engine   and   fuel   system).
Only
  the   use   of   Diesel   fuel   additives   that   meet  
t

he   standard   B715000   is   authorised.
