Fuel tank
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 53 litres.
When the low fuel level is reached in the
fuel tank, this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an audible
signal. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 6 litres of fuel in the tank.
Low fuel level
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
you of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise a
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the
fuel system. To fill the tank in complete safety:
F
t he engine must be switched off,
F
w
ith the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
part of the filler flap,
F
t
urn the filler cap to the left,
F
r
emove the filler cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the filler flap,
F
f
ill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause
malfunctions.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop
&
Start,
never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition using the key, or the START/
STOP button if your vehicle has Keyless
Entry and Starting.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal. When driving, this message
and audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0"
.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out
of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) , refer to the corresponding section.

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.
* Depending on the country of sale.It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill the tank.
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 and pour
s l ow l y.
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.
