Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting petrol
nozzles only.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the tank
drained and refilled with the correct
fuel before you star t the engine.
For the Puretech 225 S&S EAT8 engine, the
use of RON98 lead-free petrol is recommended
to guarantee optimum operation of the engine.

Practical information

171
When it first comes on, less than 6 litres of fuel
r emain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Diesel misfuel prevention
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. It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill the
t a n k s l ow l y.
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.Driving 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.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
Diesel tank, it comes into contact with the flap.
The system remains closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.

When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid 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 the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.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.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water. In wintry conditions, it is recommended
that you use an ethyl alcohol or methanol
based fluid.

A low additive level is indicated by
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message in the instrument
panel screen.
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up without delay
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checks
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.
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 on the precautions
to take before starting work on the 12

section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12

specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
