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.

According to engine.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consump-
tion by advising the driver to change up
a gear on vehicles fi tted with a manual
gearbox.
Operation
The system acts solely in the context of
economical driving.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulso-
ry. In fact, the confi guration of the road,
the amount of traffi c and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:
- You are in third gear.
The information appears in the form of an
arrow on the instrument panel display.
In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the perfor-
mance of the engine (fi rm pres-
sure on the accelerator pedal, for
example, when overtaking...), the
system will not recommend a gear
change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P
or N
to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gear-
box fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P
to R
and from N
to R
.
This will not cause any damage to the
gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop as soon as possible.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the movement of
the gear lever from the P
po-
sition to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption when
at a prolonged standstill with the
engine running (traffi c jam...), put
the gear lever in the N
position and
apply the parking brake.
Manual operation
)
Select position M
for sequential
changing of the four gears.
)
Push the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.
)
Pull the lever towards the -
sign to
change down a gear.
D
disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low
or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes for a few seconds, then the ac-
tual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M
(manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. If the lever is not in position P
,
when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds after
the ignition is switched off, a mes-
sage appears in the multifunction
screen.
)
Return the lever to position P
;
the message disappears.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
