ACCESS

The key cannot be removed from
the lock until the cap is put back on
the tank.
Opening the cap may trigger an in-
rush of air. This vacuum, which is
completely 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:


)
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 refuelling is complete:


)
put the cap back in place,

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

)
close the fi ller 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 af-
ter the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle
;
this could cause malfunctions.


Low fuel level

Refuelling

A label affi xed to the inside of the fi ller
fl ap reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used according to your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be add-
ed in order to be registered by the fuel
gauge. When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument pan-
el, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the multifunc-
tion screen. When the lamp fi rst comes
on, there is approximately
6 litres
of
fuel remaining.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the
ignition is switched on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message. When
driving, this audible signal and message
are repeated with increasing frequency,
as the fuel level drops towards "0"
.
You must refuel to avoid running out of
fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to the "Checks" section.


Operating fault

A malfunction of the fuel gauge is indi-
cated by the return to zero of the fuel
gauge needle.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.





With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition with the
key.
