Practical information -> Misfuel prevention (Diesel) for Your Peugeot 3008 SUV 2020

Practical information  
To refuel in complete safety:  
You must switch off the engine.  
► Insert the filler nozzle and push it in as far as  
possible before starting to refuel (to minimise the  
risk of splashing).  
This mechanical device prevents filling the tank  
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.  
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention  
device is visible when the filler cap is removed.  
► Fill the tank.  
Do not continue past the 3rd cut-off of the  
nozzle; as this may cause malfunctions.  
► Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to  
the right (depending on version).  
Operation  
► Push the filler flap to close it.  
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,  
which helps to reduce the level of harmful  
emissions in the exhaust gases.  
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded  
fuel.  
To open the filler flap, press the flap opening  
button or press the rear edge of the filler flap  
(depending on version).  
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles  
After pressing the button, it may take a  
few minutes for the filler flap to open.  
If the flap becomes stuck, press and hold the  
button for more than 3 seconds.  
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only  
unleaded petrol nozzles to be inserted.  
If you have put in the wrong fuel for  
the vehicle, you must have the fuel  
tank drained and filled with the correct fuel  
before starting the engine.  
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the  
fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into  
contact with the flap. The system remains closed  
and prevents filling.  
Take care to select the pump that delivers the  
correct fuel type for the vehicle's engine (see a  
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).  
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles  
If the filler flap is accidentally closed  
before refuelling, it cannot be opened  
manually. Restart the engine and move the  
vehicle a few metres before pressing the  
filler flap opening button again.  
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type  
filler nozzle.  
The use of a fuel jerrycan to fill the tank  
remains possible.  
Travelling abroad  
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be  
different in other countries, the presence  
of the misfuel prevention device may make  
refuelling impossible.

High-pressure washing  
To avoid damaging the electrical  
components, it is expressly prohibited to  
use high-pressure washing in the engine  
compartment or under the body.  
Do not use a pressure greater than 80 bar  
when washing the bodywork.  
This label is intended solely for use by  
firefighters and maintenance services in  
the event of any work on the vehicle.  
No other person must touch the device shown  
on this label.  
Rechargeable hybrid  
system  
Electrical system  
The electrical circuit of the rechargeable hybrid  
system is identified by orange cables and its  
components are marked with this symbol:  
Never allow water or dust to enter the  
connector or charging nozzle - risk of  
electrocution or fire!  
Never connect / disconnect the charging  
nozzle or cable with wet hands - risk of  
electrocution!  
In the event of an accident or impact  
to the vehicle’s underbody  
In these situations, the electrical circuit or the  
traction battery can be seriously damaged.  
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch  
off the ignition.  
The rechargeable hybrid engine's system  
uses a voltage of between 240 V and  
400 V. This system may be hot both when the  
ignition is on and after switching it off.  
Observe the warning messages on the labels  
in the vehicle, especially in the flap.  
Any work on or modification to the vehicle's  
electrical system (battery, connectors, orange  
cables and components visible from inside or  
outside) is strictly prohibited due to the risk of  
serious burns or electrical shock that can lead  
to death.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
Traction battery  
The Li-ion (Lithium-ion) traction battery stores  
the electrical energy needed to propel the  
vehicle.  
It is located under the rear seats.  
The traction battery's range varies depending  
on the type of driving, the route, the use of  
thermal comfort equipment and the ageing of its  
components.  
In the event of exposure to a fire  
Immediately exit and evacuate all  
passengers from the vehicle. Never attempt  
to fight the fire yourself - risk of electrocution!  
You must immediately contact the emergency  
services, informing them that the incident  
involves a rechargeable hybrid vehicle.  
The traction battery ageing depends on  
several factors, such as climatic  
conditions and the distance travelled.  
When washing  
In the event of a problem, always contact a  
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Before washing the vehicle, always  
check that the charging flap is closed  
correctly.
