-

D
iesel: approximately 45 or 50 litres
(depending on version).
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the tank
drained and refilled with the correct
fuel before you star t the engine.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel comes on, accompanied by
an audible warning, a message and
the last bar of the fuel gauge flashes
in red.
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
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message. This audible warning
and message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards " 0".
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out. For more information on Running out of
fuel (Diesel)
, refer to the corresponding
section.
Refilling
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, 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.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first
gear then switch off the ignition to block
the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox , place the
gear selector at position P then switch off
the ignition to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox , place the
gear selector at position D then switch off
the ignition to block the wheels.
Apply the parking brake and check that
the warning lamp is on in the instrument
panel.
The passengers must get out of the
vehicle and wait in safety.
Make sure that the jack is correctly
positioned at one of the vehicle's jacking
points.
Incorrect use of the jack could cause the
vehicle to drop.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand. Wheel with hub cap
When refitting the wheel
, after tightening
the wheel bolts, refit the hub cap, starting
by placing its aperture in line with the
valve and then pushing it into place all
round its edge with the palm of your hand.
List of operations

oosen the other bolts using wheelbrace 1
o n l y. Ensure that the jack is stable. If the
ground is slippery or loose, the jack may
slip or collapse – Risk of injury!
Ensure that the jack is positioned strictly
at one of jacking points, A or B
, under the
vehicle, making sure that the vehicle's
contact sur face is centred on the head of
the jack. Otherwise, the vehicle could be
damaged and/or the jack could collapse –
Risk of injury!
F P lace the base plate of the jack 2 on the
ground and ensure that it is directly below
the front A or rear B jacking point provided
on the chassis, whichever is closest to the

of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.
