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.
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: 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.
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.

Fuel tank
Tank capacity:
- around 50
litres (petrol).
-
around 50
litres (Diesel).
-
around 45


litres (BlueHDi Diesel).
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
in the fuel tank, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel.
Approximately 5


litres of fuel
remain in the tank. When the
warning lamp flashes, ver y little
fuel remains in the tank.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) , refer to the corresponding section.
Refilling
A sticker on the inner face of the filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type. The key cannot be removed from the lock
until the filler cap is refitted.
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.
To refuel in complete safety:
F
Y
ou must switch off the engine
.
F
O
pen the fuel filler flap by pulling with
a finger at the cut-out 1
.
F I nsert the key in the filler cap, then turn it to
the left 2 . F

R
emove the filler cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the filler flap 3 .
F
F
ill up the tank completely, but do not
continue after the 3
rd cut- off of the
nozzle ; this could cause malfunctions.
Once you have finished refuelling:
F

R

efit the filler cap.
F

T

urn the key to the right, then remove it from
the filler cap.
F

C

lose the fuel filler flap.
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 star ting the engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5

litres, in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
w hich cuts off the fuel supply in the event of
a


collision.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on the country where the product
is sold.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a
Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
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.
Operation
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill
t he tank.
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 and pour slowly.
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.
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.
Only use the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheels fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size
185/65


R15 9
mm
195/55
R16
2 0 5 /4 5


R17 7
mm
For more information on snow chains, contact
a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Installation tips
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
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31
mph
(50


km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
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.
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 towing device is not fitted by
a
PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
disabled if an approved towing device 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 (towball)
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.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After switching off the engine and for
a
maximum cumulative period of around
40
minutes, you can continue to use functions
such as the audio and telematics system,
the wipers, the dipped beam headlamps, the
courtesy lamps, etc.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a
telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically
reactivated the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-

f
or less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5


minutes,A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.

Fitting roof bars
When fitting transverse roof bars, take care to
position them correctly on the retaining pins
located in the door apertures.
For more information, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If the height exceeds 40
cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the vehicle's anchorage points.
For transporting objects which are longer
than the vehicle, refer to local legislation.
As a
safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars.

f
or more than 10

minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30
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.
Practical information

111
Recommendations
Distribute the load evenly, making sure not
to overload one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and its stability may be affected.
On a long journey, check the security of
the load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars when they are not
in use.
Bonnet
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents opening of the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is shut. When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the stay with
care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
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.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a
level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The liquid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine. 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 it in
the containers reser ved for this purpose.
