Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
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.
Warning lamp continuously
lit
The illumination of a red or orange warning lamp
indicates the occurrence of a fault that needs
further investigation.
If a warning 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 (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 (depending on version):
approximately 47 or 50 litres (petrol) or
approximately 45 or 50 litres (Diesel).
Reserve level: approximately 5 litres.
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.
This warning lamp will come on every time
the ignition is switched on, accompanied by a
message and an audible signal, until a sufficient
addition of fuel is made. This audible signal and
message are repeated with increasing frequency
as the fuel level drops and approaches " 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.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
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 vacuum is entirely
normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel
system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►

Y
ou must switch off the engine.

In the event of a breakdown

► Connect the hose from the bottle of sealant
to the valve of the tyre to be repaired 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.
► Affix the speed limit sticker .
The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the area
close to the driver, to remind the driver that a
wheel is in temporary use.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on this label.


► Switch on the ignition.

► Switch on the compressor by moving switch
to position " I" until the tyre pressure reaches
2 bars. 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 bars 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.
►

Refit the cap on the valve.
►


Remove the kit.
►


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 in
standard waste, 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
125

miles (200 km).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have 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 on the ignition.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on
this label.


► 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 bars
is not reached, this indicates that the tyre
