Fuel Tank - CITROEN C4 Owner's Handbook Manual

FUEL TANK

Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning
lamp comes on in the instru-
ment panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and the display
of an alert message. When it
fi rst comes on, around 6 litres
of fuel remain in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added,
every time the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp appears, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and an alert
message. When driving, this audible
signal and the display of this alert mes-
sage are repeated with increasing fre-
quency, as the level drops towards 0 .
You must refuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to "Checks".
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
Opening the fi ller cap may result in an
inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of
the fuel system.
A C C E S S
With Stop & Start, never refuel
with the system in STOP mode;
you must switch off the ignition
with the key.
 Press control A until the automatic
opening of the fuel fl ap is heard.
This control remains active for a few
minutes after switching off the igni-
tion. If necessary, switch the ignition
on again to reactivate it.
 Take care to select the pump that
delivers the correct fuel for your
vehicle.
 Introduce the nozzle so as to push
in the metal non-return fl ap B.
 Make sure that the nozzle is pushed
in as far as possible before starting
to refuel (risk of blowback).
 Maintain this position while refuelling.
 Push the fuel fl ap to close it.
If you are fi lling your tank to the top,
do not persist after the third cut-off;
this could cause your vehicle to mal-
function.
If you have put in the wrong
fuel for your vehicle, you must
have the tank drained and re-
fi lled with the correct fuel be-
fore you start the engine.
