the sensors are not covered by dirt, ice or
snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system
checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, keep the lance at
least 12
inches (30 cm) away from the sensors.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle
and the space is too great, the system may

Fuel
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 56 litres.
R eser ve level: 6 litres.
Low fuel level
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.
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. 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:
F
R
efit the filler cap.
F
T
urn it to the right.
F
C
lose the fuel filler flap.
To refuel in complete safety:

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.
Towing device
Load distribution
F D istribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude. Use towing devices and their genuine
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It
is recommended that the installation
be per formed by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.
Important: for versions equipped with
the motorised tailgate with Hands-Free
Tailgate Access function, if a towing
device other than a genuine PEUGEOT
one is installed, it is imperative to visit
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the detection
system: risk of Hands-Free Tailgate
Access function failure.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
disabled if an approved towbar is used. Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data

section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (ball joint)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
Vehicle equipped with motorised tailgate
with "Hands-Free Tailgate Access "
function
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate
when using the towing device:
-
d

eactivate the Hands-Free Tailgate
Access function in advance in your
vehicle's configuration menu,
-

o
r remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.

detach – accident risk!
Practical information

225
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load
on a
towbar-mounted carrier, the towball
must be removed and the protective plug
inserted in the carrier. This measure
applies particularly where the towball
might obscure visibility of the number
plate or its lighting.
Fitting the towballDuring use
Never release the locking system with
a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle – the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
It is essential that the maximum
authorised load be complied with on the
towing device: if it is exceeded, this device
may detach from the vehicle, which is
a


serious accident risk.
Check that the trailer lamps work
c o r r e c t l y.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of
the headlamp beam height.
