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 (
bi

oFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must
comply with European standard EN 15293.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are per fectly 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

Misfuel prevention (diesel)*
Operation

In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can

Travelling abroad
as
diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device may make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we
recommend that you check with the
CITROËN dealer network, whether your
vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in
the country in which you want to travel.
