the filler flap).) Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left. ) Remove the filler cap and hang it on its carrier (on the filler flap).

Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *

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 type
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 CITROËN dealer network,
whether
your vehicle is suitable for the fuelpumps in the country in which you want to
travel.
