Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; placethe heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box inpreference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aper ture, driver's side.Carry out this check in par ticular:- before a long journey,- at each change of season,- after a long period out of use. Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres onany trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and obser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the3 rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settledown to a consistent average.

Tr ip reset
If dashes are displayed continuously while driving in place of the digits,contact a PEUGEOT dealer or aqualified workshop.

This function is only displayed from20 mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following a change in the style of driving or the relief, resulting in a significant change in the current fuel consumption.
Trip computer, a few definitions…
Range
(miles or km)This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank
in relation to the average fuel consumption over the last fewmiles (kilometres) travelled.
When the ran
ge falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (10 0 km).
Current fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)This is the average fuel consumption
during the last few seconds.

Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuelconsumption since the last tripcomputer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calculated
since the last trip computer zero reset
(ignition on).
F When the trip required is displayed, press
the control for more than two seconds or make a long press on the left hand thumb
wheel of the steering mounted controls.
Trips "1"
and "2"are independent but their useis identical.
For example, trip "1"
can be used for daily figures, and trip "2"
for monthly figures.

Fuel tank Capacity of the tank: approximately 72 litres(or 55 litres according to version).

Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.F Take care to select the pump that delivers
the correct fuel type for your vehicle'sengine (reminder on a label on the inside of
the filler flap).F Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to
the left. F Remove the filler cap and hang it on its
carrier (on the filler flap).
Opening
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have have the tank drained and refilled with the correct fuel before you star t theengine.
With Stop & Star t, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key. - Pr
ess the switch.
This control remains active for a few minutes after switching off the ignition. If necessary, switch the ignition on again toreactivate it.



Refuelling
F
Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully
(pushing on the the metal non-return
valve A).AF Fill the tank. Do not continue past the thirdcut-off of the nozzle, as this may causemalfunctions. F
Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to
the right.F Push the filler flap to close it.

Your vehicle is
fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must useunleaded fuel only. The filler neck is narrower, admitting petrolnozzles only.

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen.
When it first comes on, around 7 litres of fuel
r
emain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
runnin
g out.

Fuel supply cut-off

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision.


It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank but this must be done slowly. In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of themisfuel prevention device.


Diesel misfuel prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a petrol
filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comesinto contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.
Operation


Tr a v e l l i ng abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuellingimpossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend 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.
