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.

In the event of a breakdown
8Warning triangle
This reflective and dismantlable device is to be
installed on the side of the road when a vehicle
is broken down or damaged.
Before getting out of the vehicle
Turn on the hazard warning lamps, then
put on the safety vest to assemble and install
the triangle.
Storage

Use the straps on the boot side trim to stow the
folded triangle or its storage box.
Assembling and placing the triangle


For versions supplied with a triangle as original
equipment, refer to the illustration above.
For other versions, refer to the assembly
instructions provided with the triangle.
►

Put the triangle in place behind the vehicle,
as required by local legislation.
Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before starting to prime the system, it is
essential to put at least 5 litres of Diesel into the
fuel tank.
For more information on Refuelling and
on Misfuel prevention (Diesel), refer to
the corresponding section.
1.5 BlueHDi engines
► Switch on the ignition (without starting the
engine).
►

W
ait around 1 minute and switch off the
ignition.
►

Operate the starter motor to start the engine.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
do not keep trying, but restart the procedure.
Tool kit
Set of tools supplied with the vehicle.
Its content depends on your vehicle's equipment:
–

T
emporary puncture repair kit.
–

Spare wheel.
Access to the tools
Depending on version, the tool kit is stored in a
bag or in a storage box in the boot.
These tools are specific to the vehicle and may vary according to the level of
equipment.
Do not use them for any other purpose.
The jack must only be used to change a wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre.
Do not use any jack other than the one
supplied with the vehicle.
If the vehicle does not have its original jack,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to obtain the one that was intended
by the manufacturer.
