Practical Information; Fuel Tank; Low Fuel Level - CITROËN C5 Handbook

Fuel tank

Capacity of the tank: approximately 71 litres*.

Low fuel level

When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and a message in the display
screen. When it first comes on, there remains
around 5 litres of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel to avoid running out of fuel.
Opening the fuel flap
F Press at the top left corner, then pull on its
edge.
Refuelling
While you are refuelling, the engine must be
stopped and the ignition switched off.
F Turn the key a quarter turn to lock and
unlock the filler cap.
F When refuelling, place the cap on hook A.
F Fill the tank, but do not persist after the
third cut-off; this could cause your vehicle
to malfunction.
For a petrol engine with a catalytic
converter, the use of unleaded fuel is
compulsory.
The filler neck is narrower to ensure that only
unleaded petrol nozzles can be put in.

Practical information

Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by the
fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a
noise of an inrush of air. This vacuum,
which is entirely normal, is caused by
the sealing of the fuel system.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
* 55 litres for Slovakia.
