2017 PEUGEOT 5008 refuelling

Switching off
Demisting/defrosting switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of
current.F

I
t is possible to stop the
demisting/defrosting operation
before it is switched off
automatically by pressing the
button again.
The indicator lamp associated with the button
goes off.
Switch off the demisting/defrosting of
the rear screen and door mirrors as
soon as appropriate, as lower current
consumption results in reduced fuel
consumption.
Programmable heating
The programmable heating operates
independently of the engine.
With the engine off, it preheats the coolant
circuit to ensure optimal engine operating
temperature as soon as it is started up.
The programmable heating is switched on
by the long range remote control. It may be
immediate or deferred depending on the
programming. Always switch off the programmable
heating when refuelling to avoid any risk of
fire or explosion.
The programmable heating is supplied by
the vehicle's fuel tank. Before use, ensure
that there is enough fuel left in the tank. If
the fuel in the tank is at the reser ve level,
we strongly recommend that you do not
programme the heating.
To avoid the risks of poisoning or
asphyxia, the programmable heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which are not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper,
etc.) – Risk of fire!

Fuel
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 56 litres.
R eser ve level: 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
in the fuel tank, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
When it first comes on, about
6
litres of fuel is left in the tank.
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.
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

K
eyless Entry and
Starting.
Refuelling
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your
vehicle, you must have the fuel tank
drained and filled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type.
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
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the
fuel system.
Once you have finished refuelling:

To refuel in complete safety:

ou must switch off the engine.

Practical information

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps
avoid 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.
Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not continue tr ying but introduce a
Diesel filler nozzle instead.It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank.
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 and pour slowly.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the PEUGEOT dealer network
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.
Compatibility of fuels
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),
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734
mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214
(possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester),
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940
mixed with
a biofuel that meets standard
EN14214
