Fuel tank
The capacity of the tank is about 35 litres.
Low fuel level
When the fuel in the tank reaches
a low level, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning.
The message "LO FUEL" is displayed instead
of the range.
You have about 5
litres of fuel left.
In certain driving conditions and depending on
the engine in your vehicle, your range may be
less than 30
miles (50 km).
If you run out of fuel, the emission
control warning lamp may come on
in the instrument panel. It will go out
automatically after several engine starts.
Refuelling
Refuelling must be done with the engine and
ignition off (ignition switch to " LOCK" or
" OFF "). 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.
To refuel in complete safety:
F
Y
ou must stop the engine and turn off
the ignition (switch to LOCK or OFF
mode) .
F
P
ull the control on the lower part of the
dashboard, driver's side, to unlock the fuel
filler flap.
F
O
pen the fuel filler flap.
A label inside the fuel flap reminds you of the
type of fuel to use.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. F

U
nscrew the cap and place it on its support
(on the flap).
F
I
ntroduce the filler nozzle and push it in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback).
F
K
eep it in this position during the whole
filling operation.
Once you have finished refuelling:
F
S
crew the cap back on again until you hear
a click. When you release the cap, it will
turn slightly in the opposite direction.
F
P
ush the fuel flap to close it.
When filling the tank, do not continue
beyond the 3
rd cut off of the nozzle; this
could cause malfunctions.
Your vehicle is fitted with a
catalytic converter,
which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.
The filler neck is narrower, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.

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.
The only petrol additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715001


standard.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
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.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front 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.
Installation tips
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 fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Only use the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheels fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size
165/65


R14 9

Energy economy mode
(Only for vehicles equipped with the Keyless
Entry and Starting system.)
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still
use functions such as the audio system,
windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a
max. combined time
of 20


minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the
battery is not fully charged.
Entry into the mode
Once this time has elapsed, the active
functions are put on standby.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and allow it run
for at least 5
minutes. Let the engine run for the duration
specified to ensure that the battery charge
is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart
the engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.

Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a
PEUGEOT dealer
or a
qualified workshop and dispose
of in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either
using the oil level indicator on the
instrument panel when the ignition is
switched on, for vehicles equipped
with an electric gauge, or using the
dipstick. To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a
level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30

minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up, if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

the correct level is between marks A and B .A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .
- I f the level is above the MAX mark (risk of
damage to the engine), contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
-

I
f the level is below the MIN mark, you must

and " LOW " or "L". The check and top up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
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
two turns to release the pressure. After it has
dropped, remove the cap and top up.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
