1. Screenwash reservoir.
2. Coolant header tank.
3. Brake fluid reservoir.
4. Battery / Fuses.
5. Fusebox.
6. A i r f i l t e r.
7. Engine oil dipstick.
8. Engine oil filler cap.
9. Priming pump (depending on engine).
The AdBlue
® additive tank filler is located in the
boot below the spare wheel.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and
the cooling fan could start at any time
(even with the ignition off).
Checking levels
Check the levels regularly, in line with the
manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up
if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. There remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in
the tank. When the warning lamp
flashes, there is ver y little fuel left .
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is refitted.
Removing the filler cap may cause an
inrush of air. This vacuum is per fectly
normal and results from the sealing of
the system.
Fuel tank
Fuel
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres.Refuelling
To fill the tank safely:
F the engine must be switched off,
F open the fuel filler flap 1 ,
F insert the key in the cap 2 , then turn it to
the left,
F remove the cap and hook it onto the clip
located on the inside of the flap 3 ,
F fill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause
malfunctions.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the
"Running out of fuel - Diesel" section.
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use
depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.

Operation
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 type
filler nozzle.
Misfuel prevention
On vehicles with Diesel engines
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.It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill the tank.
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 and pour
s l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device may make refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so 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
intend to travel.

Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with
E10 bio-petrol (containing 10 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards EN 228 and
EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must
comply with European standard EN 15293.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are 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).
B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel
engines. However, this use, even occasional,
requires strict application of the special
servicing conditions. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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).
