Fuel cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
► With a conventional key, insert the key into
the filler cap, then turn the key to the left.
Diesel misfuel prevention
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.
If the vehicle is equipped with a sliding
door on its left-hand side, do not open it
while the fuel filler flap is open (risk of
damaging the fuel filler flap and the sliding
door and risk of injuring the person filling up).
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device appears when the filler cap is removed.
If the fuel filler flap is open and you try to
open the left-hand side door, a
mechanism prevents it from being opened.
The door can be opened half-way, however.
With a mechanical door, close the fuel filler
flap to regain use of the door.
With an electric door, to be able to use it
correctly, close the fuel filler flap and then
press an opening control.
► Unscrew and remove the filler cap, then
place it on the holder located on the fuel filler
flap.
► Insert the nozzle and push it in fully (while
pushing on the metal valve A).
► Fill the tank. Do not continue past the
third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause
malfunctions.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
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.
