Fuel; Low Fuel Level; Fuel Cut-Off - CITROEN C4 Spacetourer Handbook

Practical information

Fuel

Fuel tank capacity: 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 lights
up orange.
When it first comes on there remains
approximately 6 litres of fuel 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 this message are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
Refilling
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

Opening the filler flap may create a noise
caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of the fuel
system.
To refuel in complete safety:
F You must switch off the engine.
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 Insert the nozzle so as to push in the metal
non-return flap.
F Make sure that the nozzle is pushed in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback).
F Hold it in this position throughout the filling
operation.
F Push the filler flap to close it.
If you are filling your tank to the top, do not
continue after the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle;
this could cause malfunctions.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the fuel
tank drained and filled with the correct
fuel before starting the engine.

Fuel cut-off

Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
engine in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the "START/STOP"
button.
