Fuel cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safe-
ty device which cuts off the fuel sup-
ply in the event of a collision. 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).
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).
