ACCESS
The key cannot be removed from
the lock until the cap is put back on
the tank.
Opening the cap may trigger an air
intake noise. This vacuum, which is
perfectly normal, is caused by the
sealing of the fuel system.
FUEL TANK

Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres. To fi ll the tank safely:

 it is essential that the engine is
switched off,

 open the fuel fi ller fl ap,

 insert the key in the cap, then turn it
to the left,
When fi lling is complete:

 refi t the cap,

 turn the key to the right, then remove
it from the cap,

 close the fl ap.

 remove the cap and secure it on the
hook, located on the inside of the
fl ap,

 fi ll the tank, but do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle ;
this could cause malfunctions.
Low fuel level
Filling
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used according to your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be ad-
ded in order to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
Operating fault
A fuel gauge malfunction is indicated by
the return of the fuel gauge needle to
zero.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
When the fuel tank minimum
level is reached, this warning
lamp comes on on the instru-
ment panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen. When it fi rst
comes on, you have approximately
6 litres of fuel remaining.
Fill up as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to the "Checks" section.

ACCESS
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 type petrol biofuels
(containing 10 % ethanol), conforming
to European standards EN 228 and
EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for ve-
hicles marketed for the use of this type
of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of
the ethanol must comply with European
standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100 % ethanol (E100 type). Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or dilut-
ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system). Special features of BioFlex
engines
A BioFlex vehicle has been designed
to run on unleaded petrol (RON 95 or
RON 98) or ethanol (this is a mixture
containing 85 % ethanol and 15 % un-
leaded petrol, called E85).
So, regardless of the quantity of fuel re-
maining in your tank and irrespective of
its type (RON 95/RON 98, E85 or a mix-
ture of the two), you can fi ll your tank at
any time with unleaded petrol (RON 95
or RON 98) or ethanol (E85).
There is no problem driving on unleaded
petrol only with this vehicle.
In winter conditions, starting the
engine from cold may sometimes
prove dif fi cult. During these very
cold periods you are advised to
use unleaded petrol rather than
E85 to ensure optimum starting
conditions.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING CONTROLS
Control stalk for the selection and con-
trol of the various front and rear lamps
providing the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the
vehicle are designed to adapt the driv-
er's visibility progressively in relation to
the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving condi-
tions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better forward vision,
- directional headlamps for improved visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during the day.
Programming
Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending on
options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic lighting,
- directional lighting. Model without AUTO lighting
Model with AUTO lighting Automatic illumination of
headlamps.

and night, the front foglamps and
the rear foglamp are prohibited. In
these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped beam head-
lamps manually as the brightness
sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp when
they are no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lamps when
the ignition is switched off

matically (with AUTO model) or when
the dipped headlamps are switched off
manually, the foglamps and sidelamps
will remain on.

 Turn the ring rearwards to switch

The lamps, with the exception of
the sidelamps, switch off automati-
cally after a maximum duration of
thirty minutes to prevent discharg-
ing of the battery.

Manual guide-me-home lighting
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's igni-
tion has been switched off makes the
driver's exit easier when the light is
poor.
Switching on

 With the ignition off, "fl ash" the
headlamps using the lighting stalk.

 A further "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting
switches off automatically after a set
time.
Daytime running lamps
Special daytime lighting, compulsory in
certain countries, which comes on au-
tomatically when the engine is started
so that the vehicle can be seen more
easily.
This function is provided by special
dedicated lamps.
The instruments and controls (instru-
ment panel, multifunction screen, air
conditioning control panel, ...) are not
lit, except on switching to the automatic
lighting mode or when the lighting is
switched on manually.
Programming
In countries in which this
function is not imposed by
regulations, you can acti-
vate or deactivate it via the
multifunction screen con-
fi guration menu.
In some climatic conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
In countries in which it is imposed by
regulations:
- by default, this function is activated,
- the sidelamps and the number plate lamps are also switched on.
Automatic illumination of headlamps
The sidelamps and dipped beam head-
lamps are switched on automatically,
without any action on the part of the
driver, when a low level of external light
is detected or in certain cases of activa-
tion of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lamps are
switched off automatically.
