Low Fuel Level - CITROEN DS3 Handbook

Fuel tank
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (petrol) or 46 litres (diesel) or 33 litres (LPG); (depending on version: approximately 30 litres
(petrol or diesel)).

Low fuel level

When the fuel tank minimum level
is reached this warning lamp comes
on on the instrument panel. When it
first comes on there remains approximately
5 litres of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the
"Checks" section.
Filling
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
you of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 7 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
To fill the tank safely:
F the engine must be switched off,
F open the fuel filler flap,
F insert the key in the cap, then turn it to the
left,
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may create a
noise caused by an inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal, resulting
from the sealing of the fuel system.
F remove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap,
F fill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut-off of the pump; this could cause
malfunctions.
When you have filled the tank:
F put the cap back in place,
F turn the key to the right, then remove it
from the cap,
F close the flap.
