Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the 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 in preference. 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 aperture, driver's side. Carry out this check in particular: - 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 on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third 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 settle down to a consistent average.

Fuel tank
Additions of fuel must be of at least 10 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.
Opening
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key, or the START/STOP button if your vehicle has
Keyless Entry and Starting.
- If your vehicle has Keyless Entry and Starting, unlock the vehicle. - Press the filler flap (on the rear side of the vehicle) then pull it.
Refuelling
 Remove the filler cap and hang it on its carrier (on the filler flap).  Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully (pushing on the the metal non-return valve A ). A ). A Fill the tank. Do not continue past the third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions.  Refit the filler cap turning it to the right.  Push the filler flap to close it (your vehicle must be unlocked).
 Take care to select the pump that delivers the correct fuel type for your vehicle's engine (reminder on a label on the inside of the filler flap).  Introduce the key into the filler cap, if your vehicle has a normal key.  Turn the filler cap to the left.
Capacity of the tank: approximately 53 litres (or 45 litres according to version).

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.
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 the misfuel 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 comes into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler nozzle.
Operation
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible. 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.
When it first comes on, less than 10 litres of fuel remain in the tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out.
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 the engine.
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 use unleaded fuel only. The filler neck is narrower, admitting petrol nozzles only.
