INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
   
 
  
 
 
Low fuel level 
 
    
fi xed with the 
needle in the 
red zone, 
accompanied 
by an audible 
signal and a 
message.    When it fi rst comes on there 
remains approximately 
  6 litres 
 of fuel in the tank.  
At this point, you begin to 
use the fuel reserve.   Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out 
of fuel.  
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this warning 
lamp will come on every time the ignition is 
switched on, accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message.  
This audible signal and message are repeated 
with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops 
towards  "0" 
. 
  Fuel tank capacity: approximately  60 litres 
. 
  Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, 
as this could damage the emission control and 
injection systems.

System 
(ABS) 
 
    
fi xed.    The anti-lock braking 
system has a fault.   The vehicle retains conventional braking. 
  Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop 
without delay. 
   
 
    
 
Dynamic 
stability 
control 
(ESP/ASR) 
 
    
fl ashing.    The ESP/ASR regulation is 
active.   The system optimises traction and improves the 
directional stability of the vehicle. 
   
fi xed.    Unless it has been 
deactivated (button pressed 
and its indicator lamp on) the 
ESP/ASR system has a fault.   Have it checked by a PEUGEOT or a qualifi ed 
workshop. 
   
 
    
 
Directional 
headlamps 
 
    
fl ashing.    The directional headlamps 
system has a fault.   Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop. 
      
 
Foot on the 
brake pedal 
 
    
fi xed.    You have forgotten to press 
the brake pedal when 
starting the engine, with 
an electronic gear control 
gearbox.   You have to press the brake pedal to start the 
engine (gear lever in position  N 
).

  More than 5 litres of fuel must be add-
ed in order to be registered by the fuel 
gauge.    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
FUEL TANK 
 
 
Capacity of the tank: approximately 
60 litres. 
 
  The key cannot be removed from 
the lock until the cap is put back on 
the tank. 
  Opening the cap may cause an in-
rush of air. This vacuum, which is 
perfectly normal, is caused by the 
sealing of the fuel system.  
 
 
Low fuel level 
   
Operating fault 
 
A fuel gauge malfunction is indicated by the 
return of the fuel gauge needle to zero. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualifi ed workshop. 
 
 
Filling 
 
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap 
reminds you of the type of fuel to be 
used according to your engine. 
  When the low fuel level is reached, 
this warning lamp comes on on 
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and an 
alert message. When it fi rst comes on, 
you have  approximately 6 litres 
 of fuel 
remaining. 
  Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this 
warning lamp comes on every time the 
ignition is switched on, accompanied 
by an audible signal and a message. 
When driving, this audible signal and 
the display of the alert message are re-
peated with increasing frequency as the 
fuel level drops towards  "0" 
. 
  Refuel as soon as possible to avoid run-
ning out of fuel. 
  If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also 
to the "Checks" section.  
   
 
 
 
 
 
With Stop & Start, never refuel with 
the system in STOP mode; you must 
switch off the ignition with the key.

  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 
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle 
; 
this could cause malfunctions.  
  When fi lling is complete: 
   
 
 ) 
 refi t the cap, 
   
 ) 
  turn the key to the right, then remove 
it from the cap, 
   
 ) 
 close the fl ap.  
    To  fi ll the tank safely: 
   
 
 ) 
  it is essential that the engine is 
switched off,

Quality of the fuel used
for petrol 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).  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 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 
presence of the misfuel prevention 
device may make refuelling impos-
sible. 
  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 destination country.
