Fuel tank
Additions of fuel must be of at least 10 litres to 
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of 
air. t
h
 is vacuum is entirely normal and results 
from the sealing of the fuel system.

With Stop & Start, never refuel with the 
system in StO P mode; you must switch

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank is 
reached, this warning lamp comes on 
in the instrument panel, accompanied 
by an audible warning and a message.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device 
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a 
collision. When it first comes on, less than 10 litres of 
fuel remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid 
running out.If you have put in the wrong fuel for 
your vehicle, you must have have 
the tank drained and refilled with 
the correct fuel before you star t the 
engine.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, 
a device which helps to reduce the level of 
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded 
fuel only.
th
 e filler neck is narrower, admitting petrol 
nozzles only. It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill 
the tank but this must be done slowly.
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.
Diesel misfuel prevention
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.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the 
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes 
into contact with the flap. 
t
h
 e system remains 
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler 
nozzle.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different 
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel 
prevention device may make refuelling 
impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that 
you check with the P
e
uge
Ot
  dealer network, 
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel 
pumps in the country in which you want 
to
 
travel.

Fuel used for petrol 
engines
the petrol engines are compatible with e10 bio-petrol (containing 10 % ethanol), 
conforming to 
e
u
 ropean standards  e
N 2
 28 and 
eN
 15376.
e8
5 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) 
are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed 
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex 
vehicles). 
t
h
 e quality of the ethanol must 
comply with 
e
u
 ropean standard  e
N 1
 5293.
Fuel used for Diesel 
engines
the Diesel engines are compatible with 
biofuels which conform to current and future 
eu
ropean standards (Diesel fuel which 
complies with standard 
e
N 5
 90 mixed with a 
biofuel which complies with standard  
eN 1
4214) available at the pumps (containing 
up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl 
e
s
 ter).
B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel 
engines. However, this use, even occasional, 
requires strict application of the special 
servicing conditions. Contact a P
e
uge
Ot
  
dealer or a qualified workshop.
th
e 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).

On vehicles fitted with Diesel engines, the fuel 
system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
For all versions other than BlueHDi, refer to the 
corresponding engine compartment view.
