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).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
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).
This equipment will become available
during the year.
MISFUEL PREVENTION
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
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.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fi ll
the reservoir.
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 device.

LIGHTING CONTROLS
System for selection and control of the
various front and rear lamps providing
the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt the
lighting progressively in relation to the
climatic conditions and so improve the
driver's visibility:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly
when the road is clear,
- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are installed to fulfi l
the requirements of particular driving
conditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a
distance,
-
front foglamps for even better visibility,
- daytime running lamps to be seen
during the day.
Programming
Various automatic lighting control modes
are also available according to the fol-
lowing options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic lighting,
- directional headlamps.
