Low Fuel Level - CITROËN C4 Picasso Owner's Handbook Manual

Fuel
Capacity of the tank: approximately 57 litres (petrol) or 55 litres (Diesel).

Low fuel level

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 comes on
in orange.
When it first comes on, about 6 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.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the START/STOP
button.
Refuelling
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.
Opening the filler flap may result in an inrush of
air. This is entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.
Press the rear edge of the flap to open it
(the filler cap is part of it).
Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct type of fuel for your vehicle.
Introduce the nozzle so as to push in the
metal non-return flap A.
Make sure that the nozzle is pushed in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback).
Maintain this position throughout the
refuelling operation.
Push the fuel flap to close it.
If you are filling your tank to the top, do
not persist after the 3rd cut-off; this could
cause malfunctions.
