Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel   filler   neck   of   your   Diesel   vehicle,   it   comes  
i

nto   contact   with   the   flap.   The   system   remains  
c

losed   and   prevents   filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of e ngine   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.
It
  remains   possible   to   use   a   fuel   can   to  
f

ill   the   tank.
In
  order   to   ensure   a   good   flow   of   fuel,  
d

o   not   place   the   nozzle   of   the   fuel   can  
i

n   direct   contact   with   the   flap   of   the  
m

isfuel   prevention   device   and   pour  
s

l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be   different   in   other   countries,   the  
p

resence   of   the   misfuel   prevention  
d

evice   may   make   refuelling   impossible.
Before
  travelling   abroad,   we  
r

ecommend   that   you   check   with   the  
C

ITROËN   dealer   network,   whether   your  
v

ehicle   is   suitable   for   the   fuel   pumps   in  
t

he   country   in   which   you   want   to   travel.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t
the

engine.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that c
uts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
