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 can be obtained from 
filling stations: Diesel fuel that meets standard 
EN590
  mixed with a biofuel that 
meets standard EN14214 (possibly 
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid 
Methyl Ester), Diesel fuel that meets standard 
EN16734
  mixed with a biofuel that 
meets standard EN14214 (possibly 
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid 
Methyl Ester),
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets 
standard EN15940   mixed with 
a biofuel that meets standard 
EN14214 (possibly containing up to 
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
B20 or B30 fuel that meets the 
standard EN16709 can be used with 
your Diesel engine. However, the 
use of this fuel, even occasional, 
requires strict application of the 
special servicing conditions referred 
to as "Arduous conditions".
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
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s 
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular 
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.

Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, 
a device which helps to reduce the level of 
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
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.
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 signal 
and a message.
Fuel cut- of f
When it first comes on, less than 6 litres of 
f uel remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid 
running out of fuel. Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that 
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an 
impact.
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 
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes 
into contact with the flap. The system remains 
closed and prevents filling. Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type 
filler nozzle.
If the fuel filler flap is open and you try to 
open the left-hand side door, a mechanism 
prevents it from being opened.
The door can be opened half way however.
Close the fuel filler flap to regain use of 
the door.

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
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
 
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.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the 
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 original 
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 
deactivated if an approved towbar is used.

Overload indicator
The overload indicator is a driving aid and 
informs you that the maximum authorised 
weight has been exceeded; this may be 
either the gross vehicle weight (GV W) or the 
maximum authorised weight on either axle 
(front and rear) (GAWR).
The indicator does not relieve the user 
from the responsibility.
Even if you correctly measure the weight 
of the vehicle's load, any factor that 
may vary this weight (seating the driver/
additional passengers or taking on 
additional fuel) after the measurement 
may put the vehicle into the overload 
condition. -
 
T
 he load includes the weight of the 
items stored in the loading area
