Practical information
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device appears when the filler cap is removed.
If you have added the wrong fuel, you
must have the tank drained and refilled
with the correct fuel before you start
the engine.
Driving 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.
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 signal
1
1 /2
and a message.
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.
When it first comes on, less than 6 litres of
fuel remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
Fuel cut-off
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill the
tank 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.
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
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.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
