Additions of
 fuel  must  be  of  at  least  
5  litres  to  be  registered  by  the  fuel  
gauge.
Opening

 
the
 
filler

MISFUEL PREVENTION
(D IESEL )*
Mechanical device  which  prevents  fill -
ing  the  tank  of  a  Diesel  vehicle  with  
petrol.

 
It
 
avoids
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
engine
 
dam
-
age
 
that
 
can
 
result
 
from
 
fillin
g  
with
 
the
 
wrong

  fuel.
Located
 
in
 
the
 
filler
 
neck,
 
the
 
misfuel
 
prevention

 
device
 
appears
 
when
 
the
 
filler

  cap   is   removed.
Operation
When a petrol  filler  nozzle  is  introduced  into
 the  fuel  filler  neck  of  your  Diesel  
vehicle,

 
it
 
comes
 
into
 
contact
 
with
 
the
 
flap.

 
The
 
system
 
remains
 
closed
 
and
 
prevents

  filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type filler nozzle.
It
 
remains
 
possible
 
to
 
use
 
a
 
fuel
 
can

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

 
do
 
not
 
place
 
the
 
nozzle
 
of
 
the

 
fuel
 
can
 
in
 
direct
 
contact
 
with
 
the

 
flap
 
of
 
the
 
misfuel
 
prevention
 
device

  and   pour   slowly.*

Travelling abroad
As
 
Diesel

pump
 
nozzles
 
may

 
be
 
dif
ferent  
in
 
other
 
coun
-
tries,  
the
 
presence
 
of
 
the
 
misfuel
 
prevention

 
device
 
may
 
make
 
re
-
fuelling   impossible.
Before  
travelling
 
abroad,
 
we
 
recommend

 
that
 
you
 
check
 
with
 
the

dealer
 
network,
 
whether your vehicle is suitable
