FILLING WITH FUEL
The ignition must be switched
off and the vehicle must be un-
locked when fi lling with fuel. When this warning light comes
on in certain driving conditions
and depending on the engine,
the distance which can be
travelled with the fuel remaining may
be less than 30 miles (50 kilometres).
Note: should you run out of fuel, you
must add at least 6 litres.
Operating fault
A fuel gauge fault is indicated by the
fuel level indicator needle returning to
zero.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Fuel warning
A label affi xed to the inside of the fuel
fi ller fl ap indicates which type of fuel
to use.
When you fi ll your tank, do not con-
tinue after the third cut-off of the pump.
This could cause your vehicle to mal-
function.
The capacity of the tank is approxi-
mately 67 litres.

 After fi lling the tank, screw on the
cap and close the fuel fi ller fl ap.

 Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.

 Turn the cap to the left.

 Remove the cap and hang the end
on the hook located on the inside
of the fl ap. BioFlex engine
A Flex 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
remaining in your tank and irrespec-
tive of its type (RON 95/RON 98, E85
or a mixture 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 some-
times prove diffi cult. During
these very cold periods you
are advised to favour unleaded petrol to
guarantee optimum starting conditions.
