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).
B30
  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

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

tank
 
located
  under   the   boot   at   the   rear   of

It   has   a   capacity   of   17   litres:   this

arning
 
you
 
when   the   reserve   remaining   is

greater
 
than   12   500   miles   (20   000   km),   we

  that   you   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer
