ACCESS
The key cannot be removed from
the lock until the cap is put back on
the tank.
Opening the cap may trigger an
inrush of air. This vacuum, which
is completely normal, is caused by
the sealing of the fuel system.
FUEL TANK
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 re- move 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.
Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.
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 approximately 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 au-
dible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency, as the fuel level drops
towards "0" .
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. With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition with the
key.
