2011 PEUGEOT 308 refuelling

20
FAMILIARISATION
Before refuelling or doing any-
thing under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition us-
ing the key.


DRIVING SAFELY

Stop & Start


Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine automati-
cally goes into standby, with a
6-speed electronic gear control gear-
box
and at speeds below 4 mph (6 km/h),
press the brake pedal or put the gear
lever in position N
.
Going into engine START mode

Deactivation/Reactivation
You can deactivate the system at any
time by pressing the "ECO OFF"
but-
ton; the warning lamp in the button
comes on.
161 The system is reactivated au-
tomatically at every new start
using the key. The "ECO"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine restarts auto-
matically with a 6-speed elec-
tronic gear control gearbox
:


- gear lever in position A
or M
, release
the brake pedal,

- or gear lever in position N
and the
brake pedal released, move the
gear lever to position A
or M
,

- or engage reverse.
In some circumstances, STOP mode
may not be available; the "ECO"
warn-
ing lamp fl ashes for few seconds, then
goes off. In some circumstances START mode
may be invoked automatically; the
"ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes for a few
seconds, then goes off.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

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

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.


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
panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the multifunction screen. When the
lamp fi rst comes on, there is approxi-
mately
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 run-
ning out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer
also to the "Checks" section.






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

DIESEL

ACCESS










Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines

The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 or E24 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10 % or 24 % etha-
nol), 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).














Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

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 lling
the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It
avoids the risk of engine damage 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 dif-
ferent in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may
make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend
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.
