Practical information
► Take care to select the pump that delivers the
correct fuel type for the vehicle's engine (see a
reminder label on the inside of the ller ap).
►
Open the ller cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left.
► Remove the ller cap and hang it on its
carrier (on the ller ap).
►
Introduce the ller nozzle and push it in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk of
blowback).
► Fill the tank.
Do not continue past the 3
rd
cut-o󰀨 of the
nozzle; as this may cause malfunctions.
► Push the ller ap to close it.
The vehicle is tted with a catalytic converter, a
device which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The ller neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
the vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and lled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)
This mechanical device prevents lling the tank
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.
Located in the ller neck, the misfuel prevention
device is visible when the ller cap is removed.
Operation
When a petrol ller nozzle is introduced into the
fuel ller neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into
contact with the ap. The system remains closed
and prevents lling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
ller nozzle.
The misfuel prevention device does not
prevent lling with a jerrycan, regardless
of the fuel type.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
di󰀨erent 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.
AdBlue
®
(BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely a󰀨ecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, CITROËN
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with
a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
