Quality of the fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible 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 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).
Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard 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. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or dilut-
ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).
Mechanical device which prevents fi ll-
ing the tank of a Diesel vehicle with
petrol. It avoids the risk of engine dam-
age that can result from fi lling with the
wrong fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
fi ller cap is removed.
Operation
When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced
into the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel
vehicle, it comes into contact with the
fl ap. The system remains closed and
prevents fi lling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type fi ller nozzle.
It is still possible to use a fuel
can to fi ll the reservoir.
In order to ensure a good fl ow of
fuel, do not place the nozzle of
the fuel can in direct contact with
the fl ap of the misfuel prevention
device.
This equipment will become available
during the year. The petrol or Diesel engine of your ve-
hicle is fi tted 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 un-
leaded fuel is compulsory.
The fi ller neck is narrower, admitting
unleaded petrol nozzles only.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety
device which cuts off the fuel supply in
the event of a collision.

Windscreen and headlamp
wash
On vehicle fi tted with headlamp wash-
ers, the low level of this fl uid is indicated
by gauge in the reservoir fi ller neck un-
der the bonnet.
Checking and topping up this fl uid can
only be done when stationary with the
engine off.
The driver should check the level of this
fl uid regularly, particularly during winter.
Refer to "Checks - § Screenwash/head-
lamp wash level" for the procedure on
checking the level.

sive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised
waste disposal site.
Additive level (Diesel with particle emissions filter)
According to your version of instrument
panel, the additive reservoir low level is
indicated by:
Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up with-
out delay by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
- fi xed illumination of the par-
ticle emissions fi lter warning
lamp, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
that the particle emissions fi l-
ter additive level is too low,
- fi xed illumination of the
service warning lamp, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and a message that
the particle emissions fi lter additive level is too low. or
Screenwash/headlamp washlevel
Specifi cation of the fl uid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to
avoid freezing, the fl uid should never be
topped up or replaced by plain water.
To check the level or top up the
fl uid on vehicle fi tted with head-
lamp washers, immobilise the
vehicle and switch of the engine.
