PEUGEOT & TOTAL,
A PARTNERSHIP TO DELIVER  
BETTER  PERFORMANCE !
Innovation, the key to success
The TOTAL Research and Development and 
PEUGEOT teams work together to develop high 
quality lubricants that meet the requirements 
of PEUGEOT vehicles. For you, this is the 
assurance that the performance of your engine 
is optimised while also ensuring its durability.
The 208 HYbrid FE demonstrates the ability of 
PEUGEOT and TOTAL to develop innovative 
technologies and provide other ways of moving 
towards the future.
208 HYbrid FE, a technology demonstrator with exceptional characteristics:   
1.9 l/100 km (148.7 mpg) and 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 8 seconds.
Reduced exhaust emissions,
a true reality
TOTAL lubricants are formulated to optimise the 
efficiency of engines and the protection of the 
emissions post-treatment systems. It is important to observe the servicing recommendations 
made by PEUGEOT to assure correct operation.

General information
Engine characteristicsWeights and towed loads
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen 
weight + driver (75 kg).
The gross train weight and towed load values 
indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of 
1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must 
be reduced by 10 % for every additional  
1 000 metres.
The weight of the braked trailer can be 
increased, within the GTW limit, on condition 
that the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced 
by the same amount.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical 
load on the towbar ball (removable with or 
without tools). High ambient temperatures may result 
in a reduction in the per formance of 
the vehicle to protect the engine; when 
the ambient temperature is higher than 
37 °C, limit the towed weight.
Towing with a lightly loaded vehicle can 
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when 
towing a trailer.
Never exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) when 
towing (comply with the legislation in 
force in your country).
GV W:
  gross vehicle weight, the maximum authorised vehicle weight.
GT W:   gross train weight, the maximum authorised weight of vehicle 
plus trailer.
The engine characteristics (capacity, 
maximum power, maximum power speed, fuel, 
CO
2 emissions...) for your vehicle are given in 
the registration document, as well as in sales 
brochures.
These characteristics correspond to the 
values type-approved on a test bed, under 
conditions defined in European legislation 
(Directive  1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. The maximum weights and towed loads for your 
vehicle are given are given in the registration 
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also present on the 
manufacturer's plate or label.
See the "Identification markings" section.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.

c o r r e c t l y.
F 
Unclip the stay C from its housing and 
place it in the support slot to hold the 
bonnet open.
Do not open the bonnet under very 
windy conditions.
When the engine is hot, handle the 
exterior safety catch and the stay with 
care (risk of burns).
Opening
F  Lift the safety catch B and raise the 
bonnet.

 Interior release lever.
B.  Exterior safety catch.
C.  B o n n et st ay.
Because of the presence of electrical 
equipment under the bonnet, it is 
recommended that exposure to water 
(rain, washing, ...) be limited.
F
