Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with E10 type   petrol   biofuels   (containing   10   %   ethanol),  
c
onforming   to   European   standards   EN   228  
a
nd 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).

  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

adblue® additive and SCR system
f
or
 
BlueHDi   Diesel   engines
To assure respect for the environment and c
onformity   with   the   new   Euro   6   emissions  
s
tandard,   without   adversely   affecting   the  
p
er formance   or   fuel   consumption   of   Diesel  
e
ngines,   CITROËN   has   taken   the   decision   to  
e
quip   its   vehicles   with   an   effective   system   that  
a
ssociates   SCR   (Selective   Catalytic   Reduction)  
w
ith   a   particle   filter   (FAP)   for   the   treatment   of  
e
xhaust   gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing urea, a
 
catalytic
 
converter
 
turns
 
up
 
to
 
85%   of   nitrous o
xides
 
(NOx)
 
into
 
nitrogen
 
and
 
water,   which   are
 h
armless
 
to
 
health
 
and
 
the
 
environment.

 ce the  a
dbl

® tank is empty, a s
ystem

  by   regulations  
p
revents
 
starting
 
of   the   engine.
If the SCR is faulty, the level of 
emissions
 
from
 
your   vehicle   will   no  
l
onger
 
meet
 
the
 
Euro   6   standard:   you  
v
ehicle
 
becomes
 
polluting.
In
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a
 
confirmed   fault  
w
ith
 
the
 
SCR
 
system,   you   must   go  
t
o
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer   or   a   qualified  
w
orkshop
 
as
 
soon   as   possible:   after  
a
 
running
 
distance   of   650   miles  
(
1 100
 
km),
 
a
 
system   will   be   triggered  
a
utomatically
 
to
 
prevent   engine   starting.
The 
a
dblu
e® additive is held in a special 
tank
 
located
  under   the   boot   at   the   rear   of  
t
he
 
vehicle.
 
It   has   a   capacity   of   17   litres:   this  
p
rovides
 
a
 
driving   range   of   about   12   500   miles  
(
20
 
000
 
km),
  after   which   an   alert   is   triggered  
w
arning
 
you
 
when   the   reserve   remaining   is  
e
nough
 
for
 
just   1   500   miles   (2   400   km).
During
 
each
  scheduled   service   of   your   vehicle  
b
y
 
a
 
CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop,  
t
he 
a
d
blu
e
® additive tank is refilled in order to a
llow
 
normal   operation   of   the   SCR   system.
If
 
the
 
estimated   mileage   between   two   services  
i
s
 
greater
 
than   12   500   miles   (20   000   km),   we  
r
ecommend
  that   you   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer  
o
r
 
a
 
qualified   workshop   to   have   the   necessary  
t
op-up
 
carried   out.
