Fuel tank
Tank capacity: about 53 litres (or 45  litres 
depending on the version).
Opening
Refilling
At least 6 litres of fuel must be added, in order 
t o 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. F
 
T

the correct fuel type for your vehicle's 
engine (see a reminder label on the inside 
of the filler flap).
F  
I

vehicle has a normal key.
F  
T
 urn the filler cap to the left.
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.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank is 
reached, this warning lamp comes on 
in the instrument panel, accompanied 
by an audible warning and a message.

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.

Practical information  

189
The AdBlue® is contained in 
a special tank  holding about 
17
 
litres.
An alert system is triggered automatically once 
the reser ve level is reached: you can then drive 
for a further 1,500
 
miles (2,400   km) before the 
tank is empty.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system 
r
equired by regulations prevents starting 
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of 
emissions from your vehicle will no longer 
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle 
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the 
SCR system, you must go to a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon 
as possible: after travelling the distance 
of 685
 
miles (1,100   km), a system will be 
triggered automatically to prevent the 
engine from starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you 
the distance you can travel before the 
vehicle is immobilised. For more information on the Warning 
and indicator lamps
 and the associated 
alerts, refer to the corresponding section.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below 
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the 
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue 
driving in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® is 
topped up as soon as the first alert is 
issued indicating that the reser ve level has 
been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system 
operates correctly:
-
 
U
se only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the 
ISO 22241 standard.
-
 
N
ever transfer AdBlue
® to another 
container: it would lose its purity.
-
 
N
ever dilute AdBlue
® with water.
You can obtain AdBlue
® from a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. You can also visit a ser vice station 
equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially 
designed for passenger vehicles (for those 
versions with access to the AdBlue
® tank 
via the fuel filler flap).
Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser 
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on 
storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and 
deteriorates above 25°C. It should be stored in 
a cool place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept 
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it 
has completely thawed out.
Never keep AdBlue
® containers in your 
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid 
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless 
(when kept in a cool place).

Running out of fuel 
(Diesel)
On vehicles fitted with Diesel engines, the fuel 
system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
For all versions other than BlueHDi, refer to the 
corresponding engine compartment view.
