2012 Citroen DS4 fuel type

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently,change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system, the gear shift indicator invites youto change up; it is displayed in the instrumentpanel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"or Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing theaccelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.


Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2emissions and also helpsreduce the background traffic noise.


If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.



Control the use of your
electrical equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning. Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windowsand leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperature in thepassenger compar tment down (sunroof and window blinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it hasautomatic digital regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic. Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines

The petrol engines are per fectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (containing10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming to Europeanstandards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
are reser ved exclusively for vehicles marketed for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol mustcomply with European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed
to run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol(E10 0 type). If
you are filling your tank to the top, do notpersist after the third cut- off; this could
cause your vehicle to malfunction. The petrol or Diesel engine of your vehicle isfitted with a catalytic conver ter, a device which
helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions
in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, the use of unleaded fuel
is compulsory. The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded
petrol nozzles only.



Fuel supply cut-off

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of acollision.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have havethe tank drained and refilled withthe correct fuel before you star t the engine.
)Introduce the nozzle so as to push in themetal non-return flap B.
)Make sure that the nozzle is pushed in as
far as possible before star ting to refuel(risk of blowback).)Maintain this position while refuelling.)Push the fuel flap to close it.

Access
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are per fectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current andfuture 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).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer tain Diesel engines; however, this use is subject to strict
application of the special ser vicing 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).


















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 comesinto contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel typefiller nozzle.
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 themisfuel prevention device and pour slowly.
