engines

Quality of the fuel used for Diesel

engines

The petrol engines are perfectly

compatible with E10 type petrol

biofuels (containing 10 % ethanol),

conforming to European standards

EN 228 and EN 15376.

E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %

ethanol) are reserved exclusively for

vehicles marketed for the use of this

type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The

quality of the ethanol must comply

with European standard EN 15376.

The Diesel engines are perfectly

compatible with biofuels which con-

form to current and future European

standards (diesel fuel which com-

plies with standard EN 590 mixed

with a biofuel which complies with

standard EN 14214) available at the

pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty

Acid Methyl Ester).

The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-

tain Diesel engines; however, this

use is subject to strict application

of the special servicing conditions.

Consult a CITROËN dealer.

For Brazil only, special vehicles are

marketed to run on fuels containing

up to 100 % ethanol (type E100).

The use of any other type of (bio)fuel

(vegetable or animal oils, pure or di-

luted, domestic fuel...) is strictly pro-

hibited (risk of damage to the engine

and fuel circuit).

In good or rainy weather, both day

and night, the front foglamps and

foglamps and dipped headlamps

manually as the brightness sensor

may detect sufﬁcient light.

The foglamps operate with the side-

lamps and the dipped and main

beam headlamps.
