Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
* According to country of sale. 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.
Operation
It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do 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.

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 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 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).
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.

Bleeding the Diesel fuel filter
Protective cover
Removing the cover
Bleeding water from the
fuel filter
Bleed regularly (at each oil change).
To bleed the water, slacken the bleed screw or
the water in diesel fuel sensor, located at the
base of the filter.
Continue until all the water has flowed out.
Then tighten the bleed screw or the water
detection sensor.

Priming the fuel system
In the event of running out of fuel:
F a fter filling (minimum 5 litres) and removing
the protective cover, operate the manual
priming pump, until some resistance is felt,
F

o
perate the starter motor while depressing
the accelerator pedal slightly until the
engine starts. HDi engines make use of advanced
technology.
For any work on your vehicle, contact
a qualified workshop that has the
skills and equipment required, which a
CITROËN dealer is able to provide.
If the engine fails to start at the first attempt,
wait fifteen seconds before trying again.
If the engine fails to start after a few attempts,
operate the priming pump again and then try to
start the engine.
When the engine is idling, accelerate slightly to
complete the bleeding of the circuit.

Matt paint
If you vehicle is finished with a clear matt
lacquer, please observe the following
recommendations to avoid damaging the
paintwork by the use of an inappropriate
cleaning procedures.
These recommendations are also valid for alloy
road wheels finished with clear matt lacquer.From the range of cleaning and maintenance products in the "TECHNATURE" range recommended
and approved by CITROËN, use only the insect remover and car shampoo, which are the only
products to be used on the bodywork.
The insect remover can also be used to remove minor marks (for example: finger marks...).
Always have paint repairs done by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.Never clean the vehicle without water.
Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.
Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will make the paintwork
shiny.
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or preserving products (such
as wax, for example) on the paintwork. These products are only suitable for bright finishes.
Application of these products on vehicles with a matt finish will seriously damage the paint
sur face of the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible shiny or stained areas.
Never use a high pressure jet wash with a lance fitted with a brush, this may scratch the
paintwork.
Never select a wash programme that finishes with a hot wax cycle.
We recommend the use of a high pressure jet wash, or at least a water hose with a high
output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using de-ionised water.
Use only a microfibre cloth to dry the vehicle. It must be clean and used without heavy
pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the bodywork using a soft cloth, then leave to dry.
Advice on care and maintenance
Recommendations on the care and maintenance your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.
