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, accompanied by an
audible signal and an alert message.
When it fi rst comes on, you have ap-
proximately 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:

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines

The petrol engines are perfectly compatible with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (con-
taining 10 % or 24 % 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 stand-
ard 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 certain
Diesel engines; however, this use is subject
to strict application of the special servicing
conditions. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
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).

ACCESS
MISFUEL PREVENTION(DIESEL) *

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 remains possible to use a fuel
can to fi ll the tank.
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 de-
vice and pour slowly.


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, wheth-
er your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which
you want to travel.

Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the require-
ments of particular driving conditions:


- a rear foglamp to be seen from a
distance,

- front foglamps for even better
forward vision,

- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering,

snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped beam head-
lamps manually as the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient light.

foglamps and the rear foglamp
when they are no longer neces-
sary.

To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
ring A
to the "0"
position - lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary audible signal warns the

The lamps, with the exception of the
sidelamps, switch off automatically
after a maximum duration of thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of the
battery.











LED lamps

In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.








Daytime running lamps

Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain
countries, which comes on automati-
cally when the engine is started making
the vehicle more visible to other users.

This function is assured:


- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations,
by illumination of the dipped beam
headlamps with the sidelamps and
number plate lamps; this function
cannot be deactivated.

- for other countries where it is
provided,
by the use of dedicated lamps
(bulbs or LEDs); this function can
be activated or deactivated via the
vehicle confi guration menu.
The lighting control stalk must be placed in
the "0"
or "AUTO"
(day mode) position.
Deactivation of the daytime running
lamps is effective after operation of the
lighting control stalk or after the next
engine start; activation is effective im-
mediately.


The instruments and controls (instrument
panel, multifunction screen, air conditioning
control panel, ...) are not illuminated, except
in night mode with manual or automatic il-
lumination of headlamps.


They come on when the engine is started.
Depending on the destination country,
they are used for:


- daytime running lamps * in day mode
and sidelamps in night mode (they
are brighter when daytime running
lamps),
or


- sidelamps in day and night mode.
Where LED lamps are fi tted, the fi la-
ment bulbs for the daytime running
lamps / sidelamps in the front lamp units
are not used.
