O P E N I N G S
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly
compatible 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
compatible with biofuels which con-
form to current and future European
standards (Diesel fuel which com-
plies 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).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this
use is subject to strict application
of the special servicing conditions.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or di-
luted, domestic fuel...) is strictly pro-
hibited (risk of damage to the engine
and fuel system).

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
HDi 110 engine
Unclip the protective cover to gain
access to the priming pump. HDi 140 and HDi 163 engines
Unclip the protective cover to gain
access to the priming pump.
Priming the fuel system
In the event of running out of fuel:
a f t e r fi l l i n g ( m i n i m u m 5 l i t r e s )
and removing the protective cov-
er, operate the manual priming
pump, until some resistance is
felt,
operate the starter motor while
depressing the accelerator pedal
slightly until the engine starts. HDi engines make use of ad-
vanced technology.
All maintenance and repairs re-

only a CITROËN dealer can guar-
antee.
V6 HDi 240 engine with electric
pump
In the event of running out of fuel:
after adding fuel, turn the ignition
key to position M , wait for a few
seconds,
operate the starter motor until
the engine starts.
If the engine fails to start after several
attempts, contact a CITROËN dealer.

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, acceler-
ate slightly to complete the bleeding
of the circuit.
