FUEL GAUGE

The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
COOLANT TEMPERATURE


The needle is positioned before the red
zone:
normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
What you should do if the warning lamp
comes on:


- stop immediately, switch off the ignition. The
fan may continue to operate for a certain
time, up to approximately 10 minutes,


- 1:
the fuel tank is full, approximately
80 litres.

- 0:
the reserve is now being used, the
warning lamp comes on continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 8 litres.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6.
What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine run
at idle.
- wait for the engine to cool down in order
to check the coolant level and top it up if
necessary.
As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:


- wait at least one hour after switching off
the engine before carrying out any work,

- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the
pressure to drop,

- when the pressure has dropped, check
the level on the expansion bottle,

- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Refer to the "Levels" section of chapter 6.

Ventilation
Have the heater checked at least
once a year at the beginning of winter.
Maintenance and repairs should only be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop. Use recommended
replacement parts only.


Good practice

To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the low fuel warning lamp
is not on.

FILLING WITH FUEL


Filling with fuel
The fuel tank must be fi lled with the engine off
.
When this warning lamp fi rst comes
on and when the needle is at the
start of the red zone, the minimum
fuel tank level has been reached.
At this moment, you have approximately
8 litres
of fuel remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running out of
fuel. When filling with fuel, do not open the
left-hand side door, if fitted on your
vehicle, as there is a risk of damage to the
fuel filler flap.
Never continue to drive until you run
out of fuel as this may damage the
emission control and injection systems.
Low fuel level
It is normal to hear the noise of an inrush
of air when the cap is opened as there is a
vacuum caused by the sealing of the fuel
system.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
More than 8 litres of fuel must be added in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.

The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 80 litres.


- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.


You can lock this door using the
electric child lock. Refer to "Access" in
section of 2.


- Open the fuel filler flap.
Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.

- Remove the cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the flap.

FUEL CUT-OFF

In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
DIESEL PRIMING PUMP

If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to prime the circuit:


- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel,

- squeeze and release the manual priming
pump, under the bonnet under the
protective cover, until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe,

- operate the starter until the engine
starts. The flashing of this warning lamp
is accompanied by a message in
the screen.
Check that there is no odour or leakage of
fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish the
fuel supply:


- switch off the ignition (STOP position),

- remove the key,

- put the key back in the ignition,

- switch on the ignition and start.
Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engines Quality of the fuel used for petrol engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current
and future European standards (Diesel
fuel which complies with standard 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
qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).

The petrol engines are perfectly compatible
with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels
(containing 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
vehicles 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).

DIESEL PRIMING BUTTON

If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to prime the system using the priming
button:


- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
Diesel fuel,

- open the bonnet,
- unclip the protective cover for access to
the priming push button,

- place the cover to the right of the
engine,

- firmly squeeze and release the manual
priming pump until fuel stiffens the pipe,

- operate the starter until the engine
starts,
- place the two slots in the lugs behind the
engine to allow the protective cover to
be refitted,

- clip the protective cover in place,

- close the bonnet. If the engine does not start first time,
do not keep trying.
Operate the priming push button again,
then start the engine.

Range:
displays the distance which can travelled with the remaining fuel
detected in the tank, basd on the average consumption over the last few
miles (kilometres).
This displayed value may vary signi
fi cantly following a change in the
vehicle speed or the relief of the route.
When the ran
ge falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are displayed.
After fi lling with at least 10 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If, whilst drivin
g, dashes are displayed continuously in place of the digits,contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Current fuel consumption:only calculated and displayed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
Average fuel consumption: this is the average fuel consumption since
the last trip computer zero reset.
Distance travelled: calculated since the last trip computer zero reset.
Distance remaining to the destination:calculated with reference to
the fi nal destination, entered by the user. If guidance is activated, the
navigation system calculates it as a current value.
Average speed: this is the average speed calculated since the last trip computer zero reset (ignition on).
