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.

ill 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.
You must refuel to avoid running out of fuel.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).

Particle filter system (Diesel)
Complementary to the catalytic converter,
this filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by trapping unburnt
pollutant particles. Black exhaust fumes are
thus no longer emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very low
speeds, you may occasionally notice water
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when
accelerating. This is of no consequence to the
running of the vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of blockage, a message
appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal and
illumination of the service warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle filter
is approaching saturation (in conditions
of urban driving of exceptionally long
duration: low speeds, traffic jams etc.)
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to
drive as soon as possible, when traffic
conditions permit, at a speed of 40 mph
(around 60 km/h) or more for at least
five minutes (until the alert message
disappears).
If this alert persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never store bottles of AdBlue
® in your
vehicle.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level
sur face.
F
S
witch off the ignition and remove the key.
Access
F For access to the AdBlue® tank, raise the
boot carpet then, depending on equipment,
lift out the spare wheel and/or the storage
box.
Opening
F Without pressing, turn the black cap a quarter turn anti-clockwise and lift it off.
F

Closing
F Refit the blue cap to the tank and turn it a 6th of a turn clockwise, to its stop.
F
R
efit the black cap and turn it a quarter of
a turn clockwise without pressing. Ensure
that the indicator on the cap lines up with
the indicator on the support.
F
D
epending on equipment, return the spare
wheel and/or the storage box to the bottom
of the boot.
F
R
efit the boot carpet and close the tailgate.
Important: in the event of a top-up
after a breakdown because of a lack
of AdBlue
®, signalled by the message
"Top up emissions additive: Starting
prevented", you must wait around
5
minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver's door,
locking the vehicle or introducing the
key into the ignition switch .
Switch on the ignition, then, after
10
seconds, start the engine.
Do not dispose of AdBlue
® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container provided for
this purpose or take them to your dealer.
If any fluid is split or splashed, wash
immediately with cold water or wipe with
a damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water.
F
W
ipe away any spillage around the tank
filler using a damp cloth. Important
: if your vehicle's
AdBlue
® tank is completely empty -
w
hich is confirmed by the alert
messages and the impossibility of
starting the engine, you must add at
least 3.8 litres (so two 1.89 litre bottles).
Filling
F Pour the contents of the bottle into your vehicle's AdBlue® tank.

single use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the cartridge

Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F
c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows),
F
s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, ...),
F
s
witch off the ignition and wait for
four
m
inutes.
Having exposed the battery, it is only
necessary to disconnect the (+) terminal.Following reconnection of the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine to allow initialisation of the electronic
systems.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise or reset certain
systems, such as:
-
t
he remote control,
-
t
he electric windows,
-
t
he panoramic sunroof blind,
-
t
he date and time in the audio system,
-
t
he radio preset stations.The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the ambient
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
* Depending on version.
