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.

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

Roof bars/Roof rack
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading 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.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars and racks, at
least before each trip.As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the roof bars and racks approved for your
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars and racks. In the event of loading (
not exceeding
40 cm in height) on the roof, do not
exceed the following loads:
-
T
ransverse bars on longitudinal bars:
80 kg
.
-
T
wo transverse bars bolted to the roof:
100
kg
.
-
T
hree transverse bars bolted to the
roof: 15 0
kg
.
-
A
n aluminium rack: 120
kg
.
-
A s
teel rack: 115
k g
.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars
or the roof rack and the fixings on the
vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects which are longer than
the vehicle. To fit the transverse roof bars or a roof rack,
use the fixing points provided for this purpose:
F
R
emove the fixing covers installed on the
vehicle.
F
P
ut each fixing in place and lock them on
the roof one by one.

The diesel circuit is under very high
pressure.
All work on this circuit must be carried out
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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 fluids 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.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
for vehicles equipped with an electric
gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30
minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000
miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
