Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels available at the pumps which meet
current and future e
ur
opean standards:
-
D
iesel fuel that meets standard e
N 5
90
mixed with a biofuel that meets standard
eN
14214,
-
D
iesel fuel that meets standard e
N
16734
mixed with a biofuel that meets standard
eN
14214 (possibly containing up to 10 %
Fatty Acid Methyl
e
s
ter),
-
P
araffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard
eN
15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard
e
N
14214 (possibly containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
e
s
ter).The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard eN
16709 is possible in your Diesel engines.
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
ugeo
T
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
The 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
ly the use of Diesel fuel additives that meet
the standard B715000 is authorised.
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
ugeo
T d
ealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want to
travel.

Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Topping-up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F u

aperture.

dd oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).

level again using the dipstick.

fter checking the level, carefully refit the
oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping-up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil. The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Check the coolant level regularly, according
to the use made of your vehicle (every
3 000
miles or 5 000 kms / 3 months); if
necessary, top-up using coolant recommended
by the manufacturer.
Topping-up the coolant between services is
normal.
Power steering
fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level.
