in the instrument panel screen.

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.
When it
first comes on, around 7 litresof fuelremain in the tank.
