The key cannot be removed from
the lock until the cap is refi tted. FUEL TANK


Fuel tank capacity: approximately
50 litres (petrol) or 48 litres (Diesel).

Opening the fi ller cap may create a
noise caused by an inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal, resulting
from the sealing of the fuel system.
To fi ll the tank safely:


)
the engine must be switched off,


)
open the fuel fi ller fl ap,

)
insert the key in the cap, then turn it
to the left,
When you have fi lled the tank:


)
put the cap back in place,

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

)
close the fl ap.

)
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.


Low fuel level

Filling

When the fuel tank minimum
level is reached this warning
lamp comes on on the instru-
ment panel. When it fi rst comes
on there remains approximately 5 litres

of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to the "Checks" section.
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 taken into account
by the fuel gauge.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines










Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel 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).

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. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
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).

MISFUEL PREVENTION *

Mechanical device which prevents fi ll-
ing the tank of a Diesel vehicle with
petrol. It avoids the risk of engine dam-
age that can result from fi lling with the
wrong fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
fi ller cap is removed.


Operation

When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced
into the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel
vehicle, it comes into contact with the
fl ap. The system remains closed and
prevents fi lling.

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type fi ller nozzle.

It is still possible to use a fuel can
to fi ll the reservoir.
In order to ensure a good fl ow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel
can in direct contact with the fl ap of
the misfuel prevention device.

Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the pres-
ence of the misfuel prevention device
may make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we rec-
ommend that you check with the
PEUGEOT dealer network, whether
your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you
want to travel.

VISIBILITY
LIGHTING CONTROL STALK
System for selection and control of the
various front and rear lamps providing
the vehicle's lighting.

Manual controls

The lighting commands are made di-
rectly by the driver by means of ring A

and stalk B
.
lighting off,
sidelamps only,
dipped or main beam
headlamps,

B.
stalk for inversion of the beam by pull-
ing: dipped headlamps/main beam
headlamps.
In the lighting off and sidelamps modes,
the driver can switch on the main beam
headlamps directly ("headlamp fl ash")
by pulling and holding the stalk.


Displays

The corresponding indicator lamp comes
on in the instrument panel to confi rm the
switching on of the lighting selected.

Main lighting

The vehicle's various front and rear
lamps are designed to adapt the driver's
visibility gradually in relation to the cli-
matic conditions:


- sidelamps, to be seen,

- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,

- main beam headlamps for good vis-
ibility when the road is clear.



Additional lighting

Other lamps are installed to respond to
particular driving conditions:


- rear foglamps to be seen from a dis-
tance,

- front foglamps for even better visibility.



Programmes

Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available according to
the following options:


- "guide-me-home" lighting,

- automatic lighting.

When the lighting is switched off au-
tomatically (on AUTO model) or when
the dipped headlamps are switched off
manually, the foglamps and the side-
lamps will remain on.


)
Turn the ring rearwards to switch
off the foglamps, the sidelamps will
then switch off. In good weather or in rain, both
day and night, the front foglamps
and the rear foglamps are prohib-
ited. In these situations, the in-
tensity of their beams may dazzle
other drivers.
Do not forget to switch off the front fo-
glamps and the rear foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.

Lighting on reminder
The triggering of an audible signal
when a front door is opened warns
the driver that they have forgotten
to switch off the vehicle's lighting,
with the ignition off.
In this case, switching off the light-
ing will stop the audible signal.
When the ignition is switched off, if
the dipped headlamps remain on,
they will be switched off automati-
cally after thirty minutes to prevent
discharging of the battery.

VISIBILITY
In fog or snow, the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.
Therefore, the lighting will not
come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sen-
sor, coupled with the rain sensor
and located in the centre of the
windscreen behind the rear view
mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.

Coupling with the "Guide-me-home"
lighting
Association with the automatic illumination of
headlamps provides the "guide-me-home"
lighting with the following additional options:


- selection of the lighting duration to 15, 30
or 60 seconds in the vehicle parameters
in the multifunction screen confi guration
menu,

- automatic activation of "guide-me-home"
lighting when automatic illumination of
headlamps is in operation.











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 (sensor behind the rear view
mirror) or when the windscreen wipers
are switched on.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lighting is
switched off automatically.

"Guide-me-home" lighting

The dipped headlamps remain on tem-
porarily, after switching off the vehicle's
ignition, to make the driver's exit easier
in poor light.

Activation


)
With the ignition off, activate a
"headlamp fl ash" using stalk B
.

)
A second "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off again.


Switching off
The "guide-me-home" lighting is switched
off automatically following the door lock-
ing command, after a given time.

Activation


)
Turn ring A
to the " AUTO
" position. The
automatic illumination of headlamps
is accompanied by a message in the
multifunction screen.

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of
the brightness sensor, the light-
ing comes on accompanied by
the service warning lamp, an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction screen.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.


Daytime running lamps *

On vehicles fi tted with daytime running
lamps, the dipped headlamps come on
when the vehicle is started.
This indicator lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
The instruments and controls (multi-
function screen, air conditioning control
panel, ...) are not lit, unless the auto-
matic lighting mode is activated or the
lighting is switched on manually.

Deactivation


)
Turn ring A
to a position other than
" AUTO
". Deactivation is accompa-
nied by a message in the multifunction
screen.
