air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.F 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).F Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left. F Remove the filler cap and hang it on its
carrier (on the filler flap).

Fuel supply cut-off

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision.

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 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 comesinto 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 fuel
pumps in the country in which you want
to travel.
