Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message in the instrument
panel screen.
When it first comes on, around 7 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision.


It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank but this must be done slowly. In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel canin direct contact with the flap of themisfuel prevention device.


Diesel misfuel prevention

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