Under-inflation alert
Reinitialisation
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.
F
Reduce speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.
F Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
F
If you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold.
F
If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.

Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank:
- Petrol: approximately 45 litres.
- Diesel: approximately 42 or 50 litres (depending on version).
Low fuel level
Refuelling
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.
To refuel in complete safety:
F You must switch off the engine.
F
Open the filler flap.
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 to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
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
warning and a message. This audible warning
and message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This is entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key, or the START/STOP
button if your vehicle has Keyless Entry
and Starting.
For more information on Running
out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the
corresponding section.
F
Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct type of fuel for your vehicle.
F
Introduce the key into the cap then turn it to
the left, or turn the cap manually to the left
(depending on version).

F
Remove the cap and place it on its support
(on the filler flap).
F Introduce the filler nozzle and push it in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback).
F
Maintain this position throughout the
refuelling operation.
Once you have finished refuelling:
F
Refit the filler cap.
F
Turn the key to the right then remove it
from the cap, or turn the cap manually to
the right (depending on version).
F
Push the fuel flap to close it.
If you are filling your tank to the top, do not
persist after the 3
rd
cut-off; this could cause
malfunctions.
Your 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, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Fuel cut-off
If you have put in the wrong fuel
for your vehicle, you must have the
fuel tank drained and filled with
the correct fuel before starting the
engine.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
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.
* Depending on the country of sale.
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device and pour
slowly.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device may make refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the CITROËN dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.

on the side of the road.
F
Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F
Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F
Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).
F
Stop your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road surface. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
