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.
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 can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device.
Diesel misfuel prevention
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuelling
impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with misfuel
protection, so before travelling abroad, we
recommend that you check with the P
e

uge
Ot

dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable
for the fuel pumps in the country in which you
want to travel.
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.
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.
th
e system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist, but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.
