Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank is
reached, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied
by an audible warning and a message.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank but this must be done slowly.
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.
Diesel misfuel prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine 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.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap.
t
h
e system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.
Operation
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuelling
impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that
you check with the P
e

uge
Ot
dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want
to


travel.
When it first comes on, less than 10 litres of
fuel remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out. 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.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel only.
th

e filler neck is narrower, admitting petrol
nozzles only.
