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.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so 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.

Adjust the pressure using the compressor
(to inflate: switch A in position "1" ;
to deflate: switch A in position "0" and
press button B ), in accordance with the
vehicle's tyre pressure label (located on
the door aperture on the left-hand side),
then remember to check that the leak has
been plugged correctly (no further loss of
pressure after several miles [kilometres]).
F Remove the compressor, then store the
whole kit.
F Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h] max) limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 120 miles
(200 km).

indicated on the base of the cartridge.
The cartridge is designed for a single
use; even if only partly used, it must be
replaced.
After use, do not discard the cartridge
into the environment, take it to a
CITROËN dealer or an authorised
waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new cartridge,
available from CITROËN dealers or a
qualified workshop.

(position P for an automatic gearbox).
F If your vehicle is fitted with "Hydractive III+"
suspension, position the chock, whichever
direction the gradient may be in, in front of
the front wheel diametrically opposite to
the one to be replaced.
List of operations
F Remove the protector from each bolt using
tool 3 .
F Fit the security bolt socket to the
wheelbrace to slacken the security bolt
(depending on equipment).
F Slacken the other bolts using just the
