the capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 45 litres.
-
e (empty):
the reserve is now being
used, the warning lamp comes on
continuously.
t
he low fuel warning first comes on when
approximately 6 litres of fuel is left.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
- wait approximately 15 minutes to allow
the engine to cool down in order to check
the level and top it up if necessary.

drop.
When the pressure has dropped, check the
level and remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, contact
a PEUGEOT or a qualified workshop.
EMISSION CONTROL
eOBD (european On Board Diagnosis) is a
diagnostics system which meets the exhaust
emissions standards for:
-
CO (carbon monoxide),
-
HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-
NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles detected
by oxygen sensors placed upstream and
downstream of the catalytic converters.
Refer to the "Checks -
l
evels" section. Refer to the "Checks -
l evels" section.
t
he driver is warned of any
fault with this emission control
system by flashing of this specific
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
If the needle enters the red zone, or
if the warning lamp comes on:
The needle is positioned between c (cold)
and h (hot): normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
-
stop immediately
, switch off the ignition.
t
he cooling fan may continue to operate

FILLING WITH FUEL
Capacity of the fuel tank: approximately 45 litres.
Low fuel level
When the minimum fuel tank level
is reached, this warning lamp
comes on. When it first comes on,
you have approximately 6 litres
of fuel remaining. Refuel without delay to
avoid running out of fuel.
An arrow in the instrument panel indicates
which side of the vehicle the filler flap is
located.
Refuelling must be done with the engine off.
-
Open the fuel filler flap.
-
Hold the filler cap with one hand.
-
With the other hand, insert the key
, then
turn it a third of a turn.
-
Remove the filler cap and hang it on the
hook, located on the inside of the filler
flap.
FUEL CUT-OFF
In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply.
It also automatically unlocks the doors
and switches on of the courtesy lamps. A
message appears in the instrument panel
screen according to version.
turn the key to the
STOP position to prevent
discharging of the battery.
Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in S
t
OP
mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key. When the fuel filler flap is open, a
safety system prevents sliding of the
side door (Combi).
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
Opening the filler cap may cause a noise
resulting from the inrush of air.
t
his vacuum
is quite normal and results from the sealing
of the fuel system.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle; this could
cause malfunctions.
After filling the fuel tank, lock the filler cap
and close the flap.
