6 litres
of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to
use the fuel reserve.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a suffi cient addition of fuel is made.

Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

ACCESS
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 or E24 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10 % or 24 % etha-
nol), conforming to European standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for ve-
hicles 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.
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).
MISFUEL PREVENTION *
Mechanical device which prevents fi lling
the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It
avoids the risk of engine damage 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.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be dif-
ferent in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may
make refuelling impossible.
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.
