Fuel; Low Fuel Level - CITROEN C4 PICASSO Handbook

Checks

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 comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and 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.
F With the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
edge of the flap to open it (the filler cap is a
part of it).
F Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct type of fuel for your vehicle.
F Introduce the nozzle so as to push in the
metal non-return flap A.
F Make sure that the nozzle is pushed in as
far as possible before starting to refuel
(risk of blowback).
F Maintain this position throughout the
refuelling operation.
F 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.
