engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain sources of noise
(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills,
...) may trigger the parking sensor
audible signals.
The parking sensor system cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The system will be deactivated
automatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is fitted

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.

Fuel tank
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in
the multifunction screen. When the lamp first
comes on, there is approximately 6 litres of
fuel remaining.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ignition
is switched on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message. When driving, this
audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency, as the fuel level drops
towards "0" .
Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the cap is put back on the
tank.
Opening the cap may trigger an inrush
of air. This vacuum, which is completely
normal, is caused by the sealing of the
fuel system.
You must refuel to avoid running out of
fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to the "Checks" section. A label affixed to the inside of the filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used
according to your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be added in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

Brake disc wear Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval
for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the level checking interval for this
component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the level checking interval for this
component. This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Electric parking
brake
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
For more information on the
electric parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.

Temporary puncture repair kit
This kit consists of a compressor and a sealant cartridge.
It allows the temporary repair of a tyre.
You are then able to go to the nearest garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread or shoulder.
Its compressor can be used to check and adjust the pressure of the tyre.
Access to the kit
(5-seat version)
The kit is stowed in the boot under the
concertina board. The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of a compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
repair or for inflating a small inflatable
accessory.
