Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank:
- Pe trol:   approximately   50   litres.
-
 
D
iesel:   approximately   45   or   50   litres   (depending   on   version).
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this
  warning   lamp   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   comes   on,   accompanied   by  
a

n   audible   warning,   a   message   and  
t

he   last   bar   of   the   fuel   gauge   flashes  
i

n   red.
To
  refuel   in   complete   safety:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine.
F
 
O
pen   the   filler   flap.
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds
  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 5 litres of fuel
remain
 
in
 
the   tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning
 
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  
o

ut. Opening
  the   filler   cap   may   result   in   an   inrush   of  
a

ir.   This   is   entirely   normal   and   results   from   the  
s

ealing   of   the   fuel   system.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system
  in   STOP   mode;   you   must   switch  
o

ff   the   ignition   with   the   key.
For
  more   information   on   running   out   of  
f

uel   (Diesel),   refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection. F

t

he   left.

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
f
or
 
BlueHDi   Diesel   engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity   with   the   new   Euro   6   emissions  
s

tandard,   without   adversely   affecting   the  
p

er formance   or   fuel   consumption   of   Diesel  
e

ngines,   CITROËN   has   taken   the   decision   to  
e

quip   its   vehicles   with   an   effective   system   that  
a

ssociates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
with
  a   particle   filter   (FAP)   for   the   treatment   of  
e

xhaust   gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing urea, a
 
catalytic
 
converter
 
turns
 
up
 
to
 
85%   of   nitrous o

xides
 
(NOx)
 
into
 
nitrogen
 
and
 
water,   which   are
 h

armless
 
to
 
health
 
and
 
the
 
environment. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a s
ystem
 
required
 
by   regulations   prevents  
s

tarting
 
of
 
the
 
engine.
If the SCR is faulty, the level of
emissions
 
from
 
your   vehicle   will   no  
l

onger
 
meet
 
the
 
Euro   6   standard:   your  
v

ehicle
 
becomes
 
polluting.
In
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a
 
confirmed   fault  
w

ith
 
the
 
SCR
 
system,   you   must   go  
t

o
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop
 
as
 
soon   as   possible:   after   a  
r

unning
 
distance
 
of   650   miles  
(1
 
100
 
km),
 
a
 
system   will   be   triggered  
a

utomatically
 
to
 
prevent   engine   starting.
The AdBlue® additive is held in a special
tank
 
located
  under   the   boot   at   the   rear   of  
t

he
 
vehicle.
 
It   has   a   capacity   of   17   litres:   this  
p

rovides
 
a
 
driving   range   of   about   12   500   miles  
(

20
 
000
 
km),
  after   which   an   alert   is   triggered  
w

arning
 
you
 
when   the   reserve   remaining   is  
e

nough
 
for
 
just   1   500   miles   (2   400   km).
During
 
each
  scheduled   service   of   your   vehicle  
b

y
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop,  
t

he AdBlue
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
 
normal   operation   of   the   SCR   system.
If
 
the
 
estimated   mileage   between   two   services  
i

s
 
greater
 
than   12   500   miles   (20   000   km),   we  
r

ecommend
  that   you   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer  
o

r
 
a
 
qualified   workshop   to   have   the   necessary  
t

op-up
 
carried   out.

Freezing of the AdBlue® additive
The AdBlue
® additive freezes at
temperatures   below   around   -11°C.
The
 
SCR
 
system   includes   a   heater  
f

or the AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to c
ontinue
 
driving   in   very   cold   conditions.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in useFilling the AdBlue® tank is an operation i
ncluded in every routine service on your
vehicle
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
Nevertheless,
 
given   the   capacity   of   the   tank,  
i

t
 
may
 
be
 
necessary   to   top-up   the   additive  
b

etween
 
services,
  more   particularly   if   an   alert  
(

warning
 
lamps
 
and   a   message)   signals   the  
r

equirement.
You
 
can
 
got
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
If
 
you
 
envisage
 
topping-up   yourself,   please  
r

ead
 
the
 
following
 
warnings   carefully. Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children,
 
in
 
its
  original   bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container:
 
it
 
would
 
lose
  its   purity. Never
  dilute   the   additive   with   water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel   tank.
Never   top-up   from   an   AdBlue®
dispenser
 
reserved
 
for
 
heavy
 
goods  
v

ehicles.
Use only AdBlue
® additive that meets the I
SO 22241
 
standard.
The
 
supply
 
in
 
a
 
non-drip   bottle   simplifies  
t

opping-up.
 
You
 
can   obtain   1.89   litre   (half   a   US  
g

allon)
 
bottles
 
from   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w

orkshop.
The AdBlue® additive is an urea-based
solution.
 
This   liquid   is   non-flammable,  
c

olourless
 
and   odourless   (kept   in   a   cool   area).
In
 
the
 
event
 
of   contact   with   the   skin,   wash  
t

he
 
affected
 
area   with   soap   and   water.   In   the  
e

vent
 
of
 
contact   with   the   eyes,   wash   (irrigate)  
t

he
 
eyes
 
with   large   amounts   of   water   or   with  
a

n
 
eye
 
wash
  solution   for   at   least   15   minutes.  
I

f
 
a
 
burning
 
sensation   or   irritation   persists,   get  
m

edical
 
attention.
If
 
swallowed,   immediately   wash   out   the   mouth  
w

ith
 
clean
 
water   and   then   drink   plenty   of   water.
In
 
certain
 
conditions   (high   ambient  
t

emperature,
  for   example),   the   risk   of   release  
o

f
 
ammonia
 
cannot   be   excluded:   do   not   inhale  
t

he
 
product.
 
Ammonia   vapour   has   an   irritant  
e

ffect
 
on
 
mucous   membranes   (eyes,   nose   and  
t

hroat).

Practical information
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with bio-fuels that conform to current and future European standards and can be obtained from filling stations.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels that conform to current and future European standards and can be obtained from filling stations.
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN590 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engine. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions". For more information, 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).
The only petrol additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 standard.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of your vehicle. In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular fuel may be required (specific octane rating, specific sales name…) to ensure correct operation of the engine. For any additional information, contact
your dealer.
The only Diesel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000 standard.
Petrol that meets the EN228 standard, mixed with a bio-fuel meeting the EN15376 standard.
Compatibility of
fuels
Diesel fuel at low temperature
In temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the formation of paraffins in the summer diesel fuels may result in abnormal operation of the fuel supply system. To avoid this, the use of winter diesel fuels is recommended, keeping the tank topped up to more than 50% of its capacity. If in spite of this you experience difficulties starting the engine in temperatures below -15°C (+5°F), simply leave the vehicle in a garage or a heated workshop for a while.
