ACCESS
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.
MISFUEL PREVENTION(DIESEL)
*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 sys-
tem remains closed and prevents fi lling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type fi ller nozzle.
It remains possible to use a fuel
can to fi ll the tank.
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 pre-
vention device and pour slowly.
This tool will become available during
the year.
*
According to country of sale.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles
may be different in other coun-
tries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make re-
fuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we
recommend that you check with
the CITROËN dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable
for the fuel pumps in the country
in which you want to travel.
Deactivation
Before refuelling using non-standard
Diesel fuel nozzles (present in some
countries), a tool allows you to tem-
porarily disable the misfuel prevention
device.
Use
)
With the handle vertical, introduce
the tool into the fi ller neck as far as it
will go.
)
Turn the tool a quarter turn to the
right or left.
)
Remove the tool completely.
)
Fill with fuel.
The misfuel prevention device
will be activated the next time a
standard nozzle is used.
