CHECKS -> Fuel for Your Citroen Berlingo SUV Second Generation (2008-2018)

Fuel  
Filling  
The fuel tank must be filled with the  
engine off.  
When filling with fuel,  
a mechanical system prevents  
opening of the left-hand side door.  
When the fuel filler flap is open, ensure  
that no one tries to slide this door.  
-
-
Open the fuel filler flap.  
Insert the key, then turn it a quarter  
turn.  
Once the flap has been closed, the  
sliding side door may jam, push the  
door to close it then open it.  
-
Remove the cap and hook it onto  
the clip located on the inside of the  
flap.  
A label affixed to the inside of the flap  
reminds you of the type of fuel to be  
used.  
You must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel  
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.  
When the fuel filler cap is opened,  
there may be a slight inrush of air. This  
vacuum is entirely normal and is due to  
the sealing of the fuel system.  
When filling the fuel tank, do not  
continue after the 3rd cut-off of the  
nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.  
The capacity of the fuel tank is  
approximately 60 litres (or 55 litres  
according to version).  
REFUELLING  
Low fuel level  
-
After filling the fuel tank, lock the  
cap and close the flap.  
When the low fuel level is  
reached, this warning lamp  
comes on.  
You then have approximately 8 litres  
of fuel remaining.  
Fill up without delay to avoid running  
out of fuel.  
Never risk driving until you run out of  
fuel as this may damage the emissions  
control and injection systems.
