Quality of the fuel used for 
petrol engines 
   
The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 type petrol biofuels 
(containing 10 % ethanol), conforming 
to European standards EN 228 and 
EN 15376. 
  E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % 
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for 
vehicles 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). 
  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. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 
 
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. 
  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  sys-
tem 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 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).

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL 
(DIESEL) 
  On vehicle fi tted with HDi engines, the 
fuel system must be primed if you run 
out of fuel; refer to the engine compart-
ment view on the "Diesel engine" page.    
1.6 litre HDI engine 
 
 
 
 ) 
  Fill the fuel tank with at least fi ve  li-
tres of diesel. 
   
 ) 
  Open the bonnet. 
   
 ) 
  If necessary, unclip the styling cover 
for access to the priming pump. 
   
 ) 
 Squeeze and release the priming 
pump repeatedly until resistance is 
felt (there may be resistance at the 
fi rst press). 
   
 ) 
  Operate the starter until the engine 
starts (if the engine does not start at 
the fi rst attempt, wait around 15 sec-
onds before trying again). 
   
 ) 
  If the engine does not start after a 
few attempts, operate the priming 
pump again then start the engine. 
   
 ) 
  Clip the styling cover back in place. 
   
 ) 
  Close the bonnet.  
 
 
 
2 litre HDI engine 
 
 
 
 ) 
  Fill the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres 
of Diesel. 
   
 ) 
  Open the bonnet. 
   
 ) 
  Unclip the style cover for access to 
the priming pump. 
   
 ) 
  Slacken the bleed screw. 
   
 ) 
 Squeeze and release the priming 
pump repeatedly until fuel appears 
in the transparent pipe with the 
green connector. 
   
 ) 
  Retighten the bleed screw. 
   
 ) 
  Operate the starter until the engine 
starts. 
   
 ) 
  Put the style cover back in position 
and clip it in place. 
   
 ) 
  Close the bonnet.  
    If the engine does not start fi rst 
time, don't keep trying. 
  Operate the priming pump again, 
then the starter motor.
