If the problem persists, contact a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
A system fault does not prevent the vehicle from being driven.
Data processing
All processing of personal data by
the eCall (SOS) function complies with
the framework for protection of personal
information established by Regulation
2016/679 (General Data Protection
Regulation - GDPR) and Directive 2002/58/
EC of the European Parliament and the
Council, and in particular, seeks to protect
the vital interests of the data subject, in
accordance with Article 6 (1) d) GDPR.
The processing of personal data is strictly
limited to the purpose of handling the eCall
(SOS) function used with the “112” single
European emergency call number.
* Depending on the geographic coverage of the "eCall (SOS)" and "ASSISTANCE" systems and the official national language chosen by the owner of the
vehicle.
The list of countries covered and the telematic services provided is ava\
ilable from dealers or on the website for your country.
The eCall (SOS) function is only able to
collect and process the following data
relating to the vehicle: vehicle identification
number, vehicle type (passenger vehicle or
light commercial vehicle), fuel type or power
source, three most recent locations and
direction of travel, number of passengers
and a timestamped log file of the automatic
activation of the system and its timestamp.
The recipients of the processed data are the
emergency call handling centres designated
by the relevant national authorities in the
territory in which they are located, enabling
priority routing and handling of calls to the
“112” emergency number.
Data storage
Data contained in the system’s memory
is not accessible from outside the system until
a call is made. The system is not traceable
and is not continuously monitored in its
normal operating mode.
The data in the system's internal memory is
automatically and continuously erased. Only
the vehicle’s three most recent locations,
necessary for the normal functioning of the
system, are stored.
When an emergency call is triggered, the data
log is stored for no more than 13 hours.
Access to data
You have the right of access to data and
as appropriate to request the rectification,
erasure or restriction of processing of any
personal data not processed in accordance
with the provisions of GDPR. Third parties
to which data has been disclosed shall
be notified of any rectification, erasure or
restriction carried out in compliance with
GDPR, unless it proves impossible or
involves a disproportionate effort.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint
with the respective data protection
supervisory authority.

Practical information
7Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol
respectively.

Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk
of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres.
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp lights up on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal. When it first comes on,
about 6 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an onscreen message and
an audible signal. When driving, this message
and audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
When refuelling, at least 5 litres must be added
in order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is normal,
caused by the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►

Always switch off the engine.

138
Practical information

► With the vehicle unlocked, press the rear-
central part of the filler flap to open it.
►

T
ake care to select the pump that delivers the
correct fuel type for your vehicle's engine (see a
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).
►

T
urn the filler cap to the left, remove it and
place it on its support (on the filler
flap).
►

Insert the filler nozzle and push it in as far as
possible before starting to refuel (to minimise the
risk of splashing).
Do not continue after the nozzle’

s third cut-
out. Doing so may cause malfunctions.
►

Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to
the right.
►


Close the fuel filler flap.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for the
vehicle, you must have the fuel tank
drained and filled with the correct fuel before
starting the engine.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded
petrol nozzles only.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)
This mechanical device prevents filling the tank
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device is visible when the filler cap is removed.
Operation

When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of a 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.
The use of a fuel jerrycan to fill the tank remains possible.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to
check with a CITROËN dealer if the vehicle is
suitable for the distribution equipment of the
countries visited.
Charging system
(Electric)
400 V electrical system
The electric drive system, which operates at a
voltage of approximately 400 V, is identified by
orange cables and its components are marked
with this symbol:


An electric vehicle’s power train can become hot during use and after
switching off the ignition.
Comply with the warning messages shown
on the labels, particularly inside the charging
flap.
