Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank:
- approximately 50
litres (petrol engines).
-
approximately 50
litres (Diesel engines).
-
approximately 45
litres (Diesel BlueHDi
engines).
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. There remains
approximately 5
litres of fuel in
the tank. When the warning lamp
flashes, there is ver y little fuel left .
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) , refer to the associated section.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Refuelling
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type. To refuel in complete safety:

Misfuel prevention
(Diesel)
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps
avoid the risk of engine damage that can result
from filling with the wrong fuel.
Operation
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank.
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 and pour slowly.
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 PEUGEOT dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into
the fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not continue tr ying but introduce a
Diesel filler nozzle instead.
