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.

230 V / 50 Hz power socket
A 230 V / 50 Hz socket (maximum power: 120 W) is fitted in the rear storage box. This socket works with the engine running, as well as in STOP mode with Stop & Start.  Open the central storage box,  Check that the warning lamp is on green,  Connect your multimedia or other electrical device (telephone charger, laptop computer, CD-DVD player, baby food warmer...).
In the event of a fault with the socket, the green warning lamp flashes. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Connect only one device at a time to the socket (no extension or multi-way connector). Connect only devices with class II insulation (shown on the device). Do not use a device with a metal case. As a safety measure, when electrical consumption is high and when required
by the vehicle's electrical system (particular weather conditions, electrical overload...), the current supply to the socket will be cut off; the green warning lamp goes off.
The different "ports and sockets" can be either not available, an option or standard, depending on the trim level of the vehicle.

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle. Braking takes place while the control lever is being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever is released. The ABS and DSC systems provide stability of the vehicle during emergency braking. If the emergency braking malfunctions, the message "Parking brake control faulty" will be displayed.
The emergency braking should only be used in an exceptional situation.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic operation. Reactivation of automatic operation is confirmed by the indicator lamp in the instrument panel going off.
Deactivating automatic operation
In some situations, such as very cold weather or towing (caravan, recovery), it may be necessary to deactivate automatic operation of the system.  Start the engine.  Apply the parking brake with the control
lever, if it is released.  Take your foot off the brake pedal.  Push and hold the control lever in the release direction for at least 10 seconds and no more than 15 seconds.  Release the control lever.  Press and hold the brake pedal.  Pull the control lever in the apply direction for 2 seconds.
Deactivation of the automatic functions is confirmed by illumination of this indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
 Release the control lever and the brake pedal.
From this point the parking brake can only be applied and released manually using the control lever.
If a failure of the ABS and DSC systems, signalled by the illumination of one or both warning lamps in the instrument panel, then stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed. In this event, stability must be assured by the driver by repeating alternate “pull-release” actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.
