F U E L

For petrol engines with catalytic converter, use of unleaded fuel is

obligatory

The ﬁller neck has a narrower aperture to permit unleaded petrol only.

When you are ﬁlling your fuel tank, do not persist after the third cut-

off; this could cause your vehicle to malfunction.

Fuel quality

A label on the inside of the fuel ﬁller ﬂap indicates the approved fuel quality

type.

To open the fuel ﬂap, pull at its

notched edge. A label showing the

correct fuel quality will be found

on the inside of the ﬂap (See “Fuel

quality”).

DIESEL

Petrol engines are designed to run on RON 95 fuel; however, for better

vehicle performance (petrol engines), we recommend RON 98.

Locking ﬁller cap

Turn the key a quarter turn to lock

and unlock the ﬁller cap.

When refuelling, place the cap in

the support provided on the inside

of the ﬁller ﬂap.

Towbar

We recommend you to have this device ﬁtted by a CITROËN Dealer, who will be acquainted with your vehicle’s

towing capability and with the procedures necessary for installing a safety item of this kind.

It is essential to install a CITROËN

approved electronic unit when

having a towbar ﬁtted, in order to

prevent any risk of malfunction or

damage (risk of ﬁre).

The ﬁtting of a caravan mirror on

the wing is prohibited.

Roof bars and roof boxes

The design of your vehicle, for your safety and to avoid damage to the roof and tailgate, requires the use of roof

bars and roof boxes that are tested and approved by AUTOMOBILES CITROËN.

Recommendations

- Distribute your load evenly, avoiding overloading on one side.

- Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close as possible to the roof.

- Anchor the load securely and signal if any part of it is overhanging.

- Drive gently, as the vehicle will be more liable to the effects of side winds (vehicle stability may be altered).

- Remove the roof bars as soon as they are no longer needed.

VI

Bicycle-carrier

It is strictly prohibited to install a bicycle carrier on the tailgate of a 3-door

model.

Respect the authorised load

capacities.

Cold weather screen «Snow guard»

For maximum loads that can

be distributed on the roof bars:

See Chapter:

The screen supplied with the vehicle (depending on destination) should be

ﬁtted during the winter period. It is essential to remove it when temperatures

are above 10 degrees Celsius.

tight so that the wheel is securely

retained in place.

Access to the spare wheel

Lift the boot ﬂoor.

Dimension of the spare wheel

If your spare wheel is of a different

dimension to those on the vehicle

(identiﬁed by a label), it is essen-

tial to use it only on a temporary

basis, to drive not above 80 km/h

(50 mph) and to have the original

wheel reﬁtted as soon as pos-

sible.

- Remove the wheel from the

bootspace.

Tyre pressures

These are indicated on the label

to be found inside the front door

pillar, see “Vehicle Identiﬁcation”

and “User Precautions”.

Light alloy wheels

If your vehicle is equipped with

light alloy wheels and a steel spare

wheel, then if ﬁtting the latter it is

normal to note that the heads of

the wheel bolts do not come to

bear on the wheel rim.

Tools

The steel spare wheel is secured

by the conical tapering of the

wheel bolts’ shafts, see diagram.

The tools are located in a protec-

tive holder in the spare wheel,

remove the strap to gain access.

When reﬁtting the light alloy wheel,

ensure that the wheel bolt heads

are in undamaged condition.

T Y R E P R E S S U R E S E N S O R S

This function alerts you in the

event of a tyre being deﬂated

or punctured. For this purpose,

sensors continuously monitor the

condition of the vehicle’s wheels.

This system does not absolve the

driver of the need to check the tyre

pressures regularly.

Change the damaged wheel (whether punctured or substantially deﬂated),

have the tyre repaired as soon as possible, then check the tyre pressure

as soon as you can after that.

The wheel affected will no longer be detectable by the alert system if it is

in the boot or undergoing repair (information given by the vehicle outline).

The spare wheel will not be monitored by the alert system.

Wheel without sensor

The SERVICE warning lamp lights up and a vehicle outline is

displayed. The wheel(s) concerned will be shown as absent on

the vehicle outline. If you have not changed a wheel, this infor-

mation indicates a malfunctionong of the system.

Under-inﬂation warning

The SERVICE warning

lamp lights up and a

vehicle outline is dis-

played.

Consult the CITROËN network to have the defective sensor(s)

replaced.

The deﬂation detection system is a driving assistance function which does

not absolve the driver from the responsibility to be vigilant, or from the

need to check the tyre pressures regularly (see “Vehicle identiﬁcation”).

This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre

pressures on a regular basis (see «Identiﬁcation»), to ensure that the

vehicle behaves as it should and to avoid premature wear on the tyres,

especially when the vehicle is being subjected to heavy loads or driven at

high speeds.

The wheel(s) concerned

will be shown ﬂashing

on the vehicle outline. Check the

tyre pressures as soon as pos-

sible.

Do not forget to check the tyre pressure on the spare wheel.
