LOW FUEL LEVEL


Filling with fuel
The tank must be fi lled with fuel with
the engine off
.


- Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.

- Insert the key then turn it to the left.

- Remove the cap and attach it to
the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap.
It is usual to hear an air intake noise
when opening the cap as there is a
vacuum linked with the sealing of the
fuel circuit.
A label on the inside of the fl ap
indicates which type of fuel to use.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be
added in order to be registered by the
fuel gauge.
If you fi ll your tank, do not continue
after the third cut-off of the pump
nozzle. This could result in vehicle
malfunctions.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK


If the warning light fl ashes, this
indicates a fuel gauge malfunction.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

When the tank's minimum
level is reached, this warning
light comes on, accompanied
by the message "Fuel level
low"
on the display. When
this warning light fi rst comes on, you
have approximately 8 litres
left,
depending on driving conditions and
the engine.
Fill up with fuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out.
Never continue to drive until you run
out of fuel as this could damage the
emission control and injection systems.
The capacity of the tank is
approximately 18 gallons ( 80
litres).


- After fi lling the tank, lock the cap
and close the fl ap.

When the fuel fi ller fl ap is open, a
system limits the opening of the
rear left sliding side door.
The key cannot be removed from the
cap's lock until the cap is refi tted on the
tank.

FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED

In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.
The fl ashing of this warning
light is accompanied by a
message on the display.
DIESEL REPRIMING PUMP

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


- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve
litres of diesel,

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

- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
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

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. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
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).

Environment
ECO-DRIVING
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2
emissions.

Optimise the use of your gearbox


With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without
waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle
has the system, the gear shift indicator invites you to
change up; it is displayed in the instrument panel, follow its
instructions.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"
or
Auto "A"
, according to the type of gearbox, without pressing
the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine
braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the
accelerator progressively. These practices contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions
and also helps reduce the background traffi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at
speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is fl owing
well.



Control the use of your electrical equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too
warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents
before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the
air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the
temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof
and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital
regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not
automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level
of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in
winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia
devices (fi lm, music, video game...), you will contribute
towards limiting the consumption of electrical energy, and
so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the
vehicle.
