Fuel tank
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 53 litres.
When the low fuel level is reached in the
fuel tank, this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an audible
signal. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 6 litres of fuel in the tank.
Low fuel level
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
you of the type of fuel to be used depending on
your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise a
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the
fuel system. To fill the tank in complete safety:
F
t he engine must be switched off,
F
w
ith the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
part of the filler flap,
F
t
urn the filler cap to the left,
F
r
emove the filler cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the filler flap,
F
f
ill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause
malfunctions.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop
&
Start,
never refuel with the engine in
STOP
mode; you must switch off the
ignition using the key, or the START/
STOP button if your vehicle has Keyless
Entry and Starting.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal. When driving, this message
and audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0"
.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out
of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) , refer to the corresponding section.

Its replacement should be carried
out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a

refer to the corresponding section.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this

12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(versions without quick release terminals) and
that the connections are clean.
For more information and the precautions to
take before starting work on the 12 V batter y ,
refer to the corresponding section. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary
.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary

accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.

Charging the battery using a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:

journeys,
-
i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. F

one, on the (+) terminal.
F

point C on the vehicle.
F
A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A .
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-acid batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to use only a 12 V charger, to avoid
causing irreversible damage to the
electrical components related to the
Stop & Start system. Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
Never try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, have it
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop, who will check that
the internal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not cracked,
which could cause a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
