used according to your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be add-
ed in order to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
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. When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible signal and
a message on the multifunction screen.
When it fi rst comes on, you have approxi-
mately 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.
Depending on version, this audible sig-
nal and message are repeated with in-
creasing frequency as the 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.
