Fuel used for petrol
engines
The petrol engines are compatible with E
10 type petrol biofuels (containing 10 %
e
thanol), conforming to European standards
E
N 228 and 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 available at the pumps which meet
c
urrent and future European standards:
-
D
iesel fuel that meets standard EN 590
m
ixed with a biofuel that meets standard
E
N 14214,
-
D
iesel fuel that meets standard EN16734
m
ixed with a biofuel that meets standard
E
N14214 (possibly containing up to 10 %
F
atty Acid Methyl Ester),
-
P
araffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard
E
N15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets
s
tandard EN14214 (possibly containing up
t
o 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).The
use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard E
N16709 is possible in your Diesel engines.
H
owever, this use, even occasional, requires
s
trict application of the special servicing
c
onditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
F
or more information, 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
d
amage to the engine and fuel system).
Only
the use of Diesel fuel additives that meet
t
he standard B715000 is authorised.

The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engine. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions". For more information, 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).
The only petrol additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 standard.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of your vehicle. In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular fuel may be required (specific octane rating, specific sales name…) to ensure correct operation of the engine. For any additional information, contact
your dealer.
The only Diesel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000 standard.
Petrol that meets the EN228 standard, mixed with a bio-fuel meeting the EN15376 standard.
Compatibility of
fuels
Diesel fuel at low temperature
In temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the formation of paraffins in the summer diesel fuels may result in abnormal operation of the fuel supply system. To avoid this, the use of winter diesel fuels is recommended, keeping the tank topped up to more than 50% of its capacity. If in spite of this you experience difficulties starting the engine in temperatures below -15°C (+5°F), simply leave the vehicle in a garage or a heated workshop for a while.
