Fuel used for petrol
engines
The petrol engines are compatible with E
10 bio-petrol (containing 10 % ethanol),
c
onforming to European standards EN 228
and
EN 15376.
E85
type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
a
re reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
f
or the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
v
ehicles). The quality of the ethanol must
c
omply with European standard EN 15293.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels which conform to current and future
E
uropean standards (Diesel fuel which
c
omplies with standard EN 590 mixed with
a
biofuel which complies with standard
E
N 14214) available at the pumps (containing
u
p to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
B30
biofuel can be used in certain Diesel
e
ngines. However, this use, even occasional,
r
equires strict application of the special
s
ervicing conditions. Contact a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
The
use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(
vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
d
omestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
d
amage to the engine and fuel system).
The
petrol
or
Diesel
engine
of
your
vehicle
is
f
itted with a catalytic converter, a device which
helps
to
reduce
the
level
of
harmful
emissions
i
n
the
exhaust
gases.
For petrol engines, the use of unleaded fuel
is compulsory.
The
filler
neck
is
narrower,
admitting
unleaded
p
etrol
nozzles
only.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device w hich cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision. 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 star t the engine.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located
in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel
filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
i
nto contact with the flap. The system remains
c
losed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
*
Depending on the country of sale.It
remains possible to use a fuel can to
f
ill the tank.
In
order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
d
o not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel
prevention device and pour
s
l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the
presence
of the misfuel prevention
d
evice may make refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel
protection, so before travelling
a
broad, we recommend that you check
w
ith the CITROËN dealer network,
w
hether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel
pumps in the country in which you
i
ntend to travel.

Checking levels
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the
o
il level indicator in the instrument
p
anel for vehicles so equipped, or
u
sing the dipstick.
Engine oil level
Checking using
the dipstick
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
I f a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
It
is normal to top up the oil level between
t
wo services (or oil changes). CITROËN
r
ecommends that you check the level, and top
u
p if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).A = MA X
B = MIN If you find that the level is above the A
mark or
belo
w the B mark, do not star t the engine.
-
I
f the level is above the MAX
mark (risk
o
f damage to the engine), contact a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MIN
mark, you
m
ust top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil, check that the oil is the correct grade for your
e
ngine and conforms to the manufacturer's
r
ecommendations.
Take
care
when
working
under
the
b
onnet,
as
certain
areas
of
the
engine
m
ay
be
extremely
hot
(risk
of
burns)
and
t
he
cooling
fan
could
start
at
any
time
(
even
with
the
ignition
off).
To
ensure
that
the
reading
is
correct,

Topping-up the engine oil level
F Locate the oil filler cap in the engine c
ompartment of your vehicle.
For
more information on the petrol or Diesel
e
ngine, refer to the corresponding section.
F
U
nscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler

l
evel again using the dipstick.
F
A
dd more oil if necessary.
F
A
fter checking the level, carefully refit the
o
il filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After
topping-up the oil, the check when
s
witching on the ignition with the oil level
i
ndicator in the instrument panel is not valid
d
uring the 30 minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval for this operation.
In
order to maintain the reliability of the engine
a
nd emission control system, never use
a
dditives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
The
brake fluid level should be close
t
o the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
t
he brake pad wear.
Power steering
fluid level
The power steering fluid level should b
e close to the "MA X" mark. With
t
he engine cold, unscrew the cap to

Checks
Particle filter (Diesel)
- fixed illumination of the particle f
ilter warning lamp, accompanied
b
y an audible signal and a
m
essage that there is a risk of
b
lockage of the particle filter.
The presence of this label, in particular with
the
Stop
&
Start
system,
indicates
the
use
of
a s
pecific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology
and
specification.
The
involvement
o
f
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop
i
s
essential
when
replacing
or
disconnecting
t
he
battery. As
soon
as the traffic conditions permit,
r
egenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
l
east
40
mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
g
oes
off.
If
the
warning lamp stays on, refer to the
"
Additive
level" section.
Unless
other wise
indicated,
check
these
components
in
accordance
with
the
manufacturer's
service
schedule
and according to your engine.
Other wise,
have
them
checked
by
a
CITROËN
dealer
or
a
qualified
workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's s
ervice schedule for details of the
replacement
intervals for these
c
omponents.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the e ngine oil is changed.
Refer
to the manufacturer's
s
ervice schedule for details of
the
replacement interval for this
c
omponent.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
H owever, check that the terminals are clean a
nd correctly tightened, particularly in summer
a
nd winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions
to be taken before disconnecting
t
he battery and following its reconnection.Depending
on the environment (e.g. dusty a
tmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A
clogged passenger compartment filter may
h
ave an adverse effect on the per formance
o
f the air conditioning system and generate
u
ndesirable
o
dours.The start of saturation of the particle filter is
indicated
by:
On a new vehicle, the first operations of
regeneration of the particle filter may be
a
ccompanied by the smell of "burning",
w
hich is per fectly normal.
Following
prolonged operation of the
v
ehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you
may, in exceptional circumstances,
n
otice the emission of water vapour at
t
he exhaust on acceleration. This does
n
ot affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or
the environment.
