Warning / indicator lampStateCauseAction / Observations
Engine oil pressure fixed. There is a fault with the engine lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so. Park, switch off the ignition and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Battery charge * fixed. The battery charging circuit has a fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or cut alternator belt, etc.).
The warning lamp should go off when the engine is started. If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Low fuel level fixed with the needle in the red zone. There remains approximately 5 litresof fuel in the tank. At this point, you begin to use the fuel reserve.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel. This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is made. Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres ( 45 litres for the BlueHDi Diesel engine). Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as this could damage the emission control and injection systems.
flashing with the needle in the red zone.
There remains very little fuel in the tank.
Under-inflation fixed. The pressure in one or more wheels is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible. This check should preferably be carried out when the tyres are cold.
+ flashing then fixed, accompanied by the Service warning lamp.
The tyre pressure monitoring system has a fault or no sensor is detected on one of the wheels.
Under-inflation detection is not assured. Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Practical information

Compatibility of
fuels
Fuel used for petrol
engines
The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels that conform to current and future European standards and which can be obtained from filling stations.
The use of any other type of (bio)
fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000 standard.
Travelling abroad Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of your vehicle. In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular fuel may be required (specific octane rating, specific sales name, etc.) to ensure correct operation of the engine. For any additional information, contact your dealer.
The only petrol additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 standard.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels that conform to current and future European standards and which can be obtained from filling stations.
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN590 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engine. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
Petrol that meets the EN228 standard, mixed with a biofuel meeting the EN15376 standard.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel at low temperature In temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the formation of paraffins in the summer Diesel fuels may result in abnormal operation of the fuel supply system. To avoid this, the use of winter Diesel fuels is recommended, keeping the tank topped up to more than 50% of its capacity. If in spite of this you experience difficulties starting the engine in temperatures below -15°C (+5°F), simply leave the vehicle in a garage or a heated workshop for a while.
