Fuel tank Capacity of the tank: approximately 72 litres(or 55 litres according to version).
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres tobe registered by the fuel gauge.Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system. ) Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel type for your vehicle'sengine (reminder on a label on the inside of
the filler flap). ) Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left. ) Remove the filler cap and hang it on its
carrier (on the filler flap).
Opening

ess the switch.
This control remains active for a fewminutes after switching off the ignition.If necessary, switch the ignition on again to reactivate it.

(pushing on the the metal non-return
valve A). A ) Fill the tank. Do not continue past the thirdcut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions. )

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank isreached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning and a message
in the instrument panel screen.
When it first comes on, around 7 litres of fuelremain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
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 canin direct contact with the flap of themisfuel 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. The system remains
closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.
Operation
Tr a v e l l i ng abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuellingimpossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that you check with the PEUGEOT dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuelpumps in the country in which you want to
travel.
