Fuel used for Diesel
engines
the Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
eu
ropean standards and can be obtained from
filling stations:
th
e use of B20 or B30 fuel
meeting standard e
N
16709
is possible in your Diesel
engine. However, this use,
even occasional, requires
strict application of the special
servicing conditions referred to
as "Arduous conditions".
For more information, contact a
P
e

ugeot dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
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

ugeot dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want to
travel.
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).
th

e only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000
standard.

Engine characteristics
the engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power speed, fuel,
Co
2 emissions...) for your vehicle are given in
t
he registration document, as well as in sales
brochures.
the

se characteristics correspond to the
values type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in

Weights
the kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight + driver (75 kg).
th

e gt
W a
nd towed load values indicated
apply up to a maximum altitude of
1
000 metres; the towed load mentioned
must be reduced by 10 % for every additional
1
000 metres.
th

e weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the
gt
W l
imit, on condition
that the
g
V
W of the towing vehicle is reduced
by the same amount.
the

recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable with or
without tools). High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine; when
the ambient temperature is higher
than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
If the ambient temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling.
to

wing with a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
Never exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) when
towing (comply with the legislation in
force in your country).
GV W:

gross vehicle weight, the maximum authorised vehicle weight.GT W: gross train weight, the maximum authorised weight of
vehicle plus trailer.
