Operation
![Peugeot 2008. Misfuel prevention (Diesel)](images/misfuel_prevention_diesel_-2082/1959/peugeot_2008__misfuel_prevention_diesel__909.jpg)
When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted 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 persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.
It
remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan to fill the tank.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to check with a PEUGEOT
dealer if the vehicle is suitable for the distribution equipment of the
countries visited.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 44 litres (Petrol) or 41 litres
(Diesel).
Reserve level: approximately 5 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an
onscreen message and an audible signal...
400 V electrical system
The electrical traction system, which operates at a voltage of approximately
400 V, is identified by orange cables, and its components are marked with this
symbol:

Load distribution
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as
close as possible to the axle, and the nose weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. The
maximum towable load must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude.
Use
genuine towing devices and their wiring harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. We
recommend having them fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
