by an audible signal and a message. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately
6 litres of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to
use the fuel reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out
of fuel.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this warning
lamp will come on every time the ignition is
switched on, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message.
This audible signal and message are repeated
with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops
towards
"0" .
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres .

ACCESS

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 or E24 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10 % or 24 % etha-
nol), conforming to European standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for ve-
hicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
MISFUEL PREVENTION (DIESEL) *
Mechanical device which prevents fi ll-
ing the tank of a Diesel vehicle with
petrol. It avoids the risk of engine dam-
age that can result from fi lling with the
wrong fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
fi ller cap is removed.
Operation
It remains possible to use a fuel
can to fi ll the tank.
In order to ensure a good fl ow of
fuel, do not place the nozzle of the
fuel can in direct contact with the
fl ap of the misfuel prevention de-
vice and pour slowly.
When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced
into the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel
vehicle, it comes into contact with the
fl ap. The system remains closed and
prevents fi lling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type fi ller nozzle.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device may make refuelling impos-
sible.
Before travelling abroad, we rec-
ommend that you check with the
PEUGEOT dealer network, whether
your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you
want to travel.
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or dilut-
ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).
