Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied 
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed 
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status 
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether 
the situation is normal or whether a fault has 
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp 
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on 
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched 
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon 
as the engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Persistent warning lamp
If a red or orange warning lamp comes on, there 
may be fault which needs further investigation.
If a lamp remains lit
The references (1), (2) and (3) in the warning 
and indicator lamp description indicate whether 
you should contact a qualified professional in 
addition to the immediate recommended actions.
(1): You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off 
the ignition.
(2): Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop. (3): Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

Practical information
Compatibility 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 (e.g.   pure or diluted vegetable or animal 
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk 
of damaging 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 61 litres 
(Petrol) or 50 litres (Diesel).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
/2 
1 1When 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 the message and the 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
At least 10 litres of fuel 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 is entirely normal and 
results from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►
 
Always switch off the engine.
►
 
Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry 
and Start.
►
 
Open the fuel filler flap.

In the event of a breakdown
8
 
► Switch on the compressor by moving the 
switch to position " I
" until the tyre pressure 
reaches 2 bar. The sealant product is injected 
under pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect 
the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk 
of blowback).
If after approximately 7 minutes, the 
pressure of 2 bar is not reached, this 
indicates that the tyre is not repairable; 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop for assistance.
►
 
Move the switch to position " O
".
►
 
Disconnect the compressor's electric plug 
from the vehicle's 12
  V socket.
►
 
Remove the kit.
►
 
Refit the cap on the valve.
►
 
Remove and store the bottle of sealant.
The sealant product is harmful if  swallowed and causes irritation to the 
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on the 
bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle into the 
environment; take it to a CITROËN dealer or 
an authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of 
sealant, available from a CITROËN dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
 
 
► Drive immediately for approximately 3   miles 
(5   kilometres) at reduced speed (between 
12 and 37 mph (20 and 60
  km/h)) to plug the 
puncture.
►
 
Stop to check the repair 
 and the tyre 
pressure  using the kit.
With a tyre repaired using this type of kit, 
do not exceed a speed of 50
  mph 
(80
 
km/h) and do not drive more than 
50
 
miles (80   km).
You must contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop to have the repair checked 
and the tyre changed.
Checking/adjusting tyre 
pressures
The compressor can be used,  without injecting 
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the 
tyre pressures.
►
 
Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep 
it in a clean place.
►
 
Uncoil 
 the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►
 
Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten 
firmly
.
►
 
Check that the compressor switch is in 
position " O
".
►
 
Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under 
the compressor
.
►
 
Connect the compressor's electric plug to the 
vehicle's 12
  V socket.
►
 
Switch the ignition on.
►
 
Start the compressor by placing the switch at 
position " I
" and adjust the pressure to the value 
shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label. To 
deflate: press the black button located on the 
compressor pipe, near the valve connection.
If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is 
not reached, the tyre is damaged; 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop for assistance.
►
 
Once the correct pressure is reached, put the 
switch in position " O
".
►
 
Remove the kit and stow it.
►
 
Refit the cap on the valve.
