CITROËN and TOTAL

A partnership of expertise

For 39 years, the research teams of CITROëN and
TOTAL have combined their know-how to offer you
the best engine/lubricant combination available. Cut­ting edge technology for your benefit. With TOTAL, you
can be sure to have chosen the benchmark oil that best
guarantees your C

ITROëN’s performance and life-ex-

pectancy.

A partnership for the environment

TOTAL oils support CITROëN’s advances in fuel economy,
and C0

2

and harmful emission reductions.
The development of new generation oils specially adapted
for Particle Filters, like TOTAL ACTIVA/QUARTZ INEO
ECS can reduce C0

2

emissions by a tonne* and save a

tank of fuel each year**.

* Official C02 emissions reduction of 4 g per km (approx. 6 g per mile). Corresponds to a reduction in C02 emissions

of 1 tonne throughout the life of the vehicle, on a private diesel vehicle with an average life expectancy estimated
at 250 000 km (approx. 160 000 miles). Source: TOTAL.

*

* Or 30 L, average quantity of fuel required to fill a tank at a petrol station. Result obtained using TOTAL ACTIVA/

QUARTZ INEO ECS oil instead of a traditional 15W-40 oil, on a CITROëN C4 1.6 HDi, whose average fuel con­s

umption is 58.9 mpg (4.8 L/100 km), travelling 18 000 km (approx. 12 000 miles) per year. Source: TOTAL

A partnership of success

Competitive successes in the national rallies of the World Rally Championship
bear testament to the performance and efficiency of the C

partnership.

, this lter makes an ac-

tive contribution to the preservation
of air quality by the retaining of the

exhaust fumes are thus no longer
emitted.

The

SERVICE warning
lamp and a message in
the instrument panel are

Observation: A

fter prolonged idling
or driving at very low speeds, you
may occasionally notice water va­pour being emitted from the exhaust
when accelerating. This is of no
consequence to the running of the
vehicle or to the environment.

Diesel fuel additive level

If the additive level is
low, a message appears
in the multifunction

screen, accompanied by
an audible signal and illumination
of

the SERVICE warning lamp: it is
