Engine Compartment - Skoda Citigo Operating Instructions Manual

Automatically switching over from natural gas mode to petrol mode
The vehicle automatically switches from natural gas to petrol, for example, if
one of the following cases occurs.

With an empty gas tank or not enough pressure in the tank.
›
After refuelling with natural gas.
›
At very low surrounding temperatures.
Use almost all the petrol in the fuel tank at lease once every six months until
the warning light illuminates and then refill with petrol. This is to ensure

that the fuel system functions correctly and to preserve the quality of the fuel.

natural gas-powered vehicles.
WARNING

must be observed.
