Fuel Tank - PEUGEOT RCZ Handbook

FUEL TANK

Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55 litres.
LOW FUEL LEVEL
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning
lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and an alert message. When it fi rst comes on
there remains approximately 5 litres of fuel in the tank.
Until suffi cient fuel is added, this warning lamp appears every time
the ignition is switched on, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message. When driving, this audible signal and display of the alert
message are repeated with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops
towards "0" .
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the "Running out of fuel
(Diesel)" section.
FILLING
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap 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 fi ller 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 fi ll the tank in complete safety:
the engine must be switched off,
press the rear part of the fl ap, then raise it to open it,
turn the cap to the left,
remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of
the fl ap,
fi ll the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
pump ; this could cause malfunctions.
