Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.This system does not eliminate the need
to check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Tyre pressure should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3
bar (30 kPa) to the
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings , including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding section.
Under-inflation alert
This is indicated by continuous
illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
- In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
or
-

i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
-

i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
The alert continues until the tyre or tyres
concerned are reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver or a steel
rim type) does not have a sensor.
In the event of a problem with one of the tyres,
depending on equipment, the symbol or the
message appears to identify it.

Fuel
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on.
When it first comes on, around 8
litres remain
in the tank, according to your driving style and
your engine.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel,
as this could damage the emission control and
injection systems.
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off. When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could cause
malfunctions.
The capacity of the tank is approximately
60

litres (53 litres for BlueHDi Diesel versions).
F

A

fter filling the fuel tank, lock the cap and
close the flap.
When refilling, a mechanical
system prevents opening of
the left side door. Ensure
that nobody attempts to slide
open this door while the fuel
flap is open.
After closing the flap, the
sliding side door can become
blocked. Push the door to
close it and then open it.
When refilling, ensure that
nobody attempts to open the
sliding side door while the
fuel filler flap is open.

R

emove the filler cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the filler flap.
A label inside the fuel filler flap reminds you of
the type of fuel to use.
At least 5

litres of fuel must be added in order
to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise
caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of the fuel
system.

Compatibility of fuels
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and which can be obtained from
filling stations:Petrol that meets standard EN228,
mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN15376.
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 (possibly containing up to
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard
EN16709 can be used in your
Diesel engine. However, this use,
even occasional, requires strict
application of the special ser vicing
conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions".
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. The use of any other type of (bio) fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
syste m).
The only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could result in an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a little while.
The only petrol additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715001
standard.

129
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle's
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the
driving wheels. They must never be fitted
to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size
195/65 R15
9
mm
19 5/ 70 R15
205/65 R15 215/5 5 R16215 / 5 0 R17
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixtures is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Installation advice
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F

A
