QUICK HELP 
   Fuel   
 FILLING WITH FUEL 
 Capacity of the fuel tank: approximately  
 
45   litres . 
  Low fuel level 
 When the minimum fuel tank level 
is reached, this warning lamp 
comes on. When it first comes on, 
you have approximately   6  
litres  
of fuel remaining. Refuel without delay to 
avoid running out of fuel.   Refuelling must be done  
with the engine off.  
   -   Open the fuel filler flap.  
  -   Hold the filler cap with one hand. 
  -   With the other hand, insert the key, then  turn it a third of a turn. 
  -   Remove the filler cap and hang it on the  hook, located on the inside of the filler  
flap.  
 FUEL CIRCUIT DEACTIVATED 
 In the event of a serious collision, a device  
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the 
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply. 
 It also triggers the automatic unlocking of 
the doors and switching on of the courtesy 
lights. A message appears on the instrument 
panel display according to version. 
 Turn the key to the   STOP  position to prevent 
discharging of the battery. 
 Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel 
outside the vehicle. 
      With Stop & Start, never refuel with the 
system in STOP mode; you must switch 
off the ignition with the key.     When the fuel filler flap is open, a 
safety system prevents sliding of the 
side door. 
 A label affixed to the inside of the flap 
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used. 
 Opening the filler cap may cause a noise 
resulting from the inrush of air. This vacuum 
is quite normal and results from the sealing 
of the fuel system. 
 When filling the fuel tank, do not continue 
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle; this could 
cause malfunctions. 
 After filling the fuel tank, lock the filler cap 
and close the flap.

  Re-activation  
 To set off again, restore the fuel supply and  
the electrical supply manually: 
   -   with the key in the   STOP  position, turn 
the key to the   RUNNING  position, 
  -   push the direction indicators control up  fully, 
  -   place it in the "Off" position,  
  -   press the direction indicators control  down fully, 
  -   return it to the "Off" position, 
  -   push it up fully again, 
  -   return it to the "Off" position, 
  -   press it down fully again, 
  -   return it to the "Off" position, 
  -   turn the key to the   STOP  position.              Quality of the fuel used for petrol  
engines  
  The petrol engines are perfectly compatible  
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 
vehicles 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 compatible  
with biofuels which conform to current 
and future European standards (Diesel 
fuel which complies with standard 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 certain 
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 diluted, 
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of 
damage to the engine and fuel system).

Opening the bonnet
   OPENING THE BONNET 
  On the inside  
 Pull the lever under the fascia panel  
towards you.    On the outside  
 Raise the bonnet slightly, placing your hand  
flat under the bonnet to make the operation 
easier. 
 Push the lever to the left, then open the 
bonnet fully. 
 While holding the bonnet open, check that the 
locking control  
A  is engaged by pressing it.     To close  
 Lift the bonnet slightly and pull the release  
control  
A  to release it. 
 Lower the bonnet and release it at the end 
of its travel. Check that the bonnet is locked. 
 Avoid manoeuvring the bonnet in strong 
winds.  
      Before doing anything under the 
bonnet, switch off the ignition with the 
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from 
an automatic change to START mode.

Levels
  Engine coolant level  
 Only use the fluid recommended by the  
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously 
damaging your engine. When the engine 
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is 
controlled by the engine cooling fan. As 
this fan can operate with the ignition key 
removed and because the cooling system is 
pressurised, wait for at least one hour after 
the engine has stopped before carrying out 
any work.  
  Topping up  
 The level must be between the   MIN  and 
 
MAX   marks on the header tank. If more than 
1 litre of fluid is required to top up the level,  
have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer.      Power steering fluid level  
 The vehicle must be parked on level ground  
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap with 
integral gauge and check the level which 
must be between the  
MIN  and   MAX  marks.  
  Screenwash fluid level  
 For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,  
topping up or replacement of this fluid 
should never be with plain water; we 
recommend the use of products available 
from PEUGEOT dealers. 
 Capacity of the reservoir: approximately 
5.5 litres.  
 Slacken the cap by two turns to release the 
pressure to prevent any risk of scalding. 
When the pressure has dropped, remove the 
cap and top up the level with coolant. 
 If fluid has to be added frequently, this 
indicates a fault which must be checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.    Used products  
 Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with  
the skin. 
 Brake fluid is harmful to health and very 
corrosive. 
 Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid 
or coolant into drains or into the ground, 
but into the containers provided for this 
purpose at PEUGEOT dealers (France) or 
at an authorised waste disposal site.
