Practical information  
Fuel used for petrol  
engines  
The petrol engines are compatible with  
E10 bio-petrol (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 15293.  
Fuel used for Diesel  
engines  
The petrol or Diesel engine of 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, the use of unleaded fuel  
is compulsory.  
The Diesel engines are compatible with  
biofuels which conform to current and future  
European standards (Diesel fuel which  
complies 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).  
B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel  
engines. However, this use, even occasional,  
requires strict application of the special  
servicing conditions. Contact a CITROËN  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded  
petrol nozzles only.  
If you have put in the wrong fuel for  
your vehicle, you must have the tank  
drained and refilled with the correct  
fuel before you start the engine.  
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel  
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,  
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of  
damage to the engine and fuel system).  
Fuel supply cut-off  
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device  
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a  
collision.
