Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on.
When it first comes on, around 8
litres remain
in the tank, according to your driving style and
your engine.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel,
as this could damage the emission control and
injection systems.
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off. When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could cause
malfunctions.
The capacity of the tank is approximately
60
litres (53 litres for BlueHDi Diesel versions).

fter filling the fuel tank, lock the cap and
close the flap.
When refilling, a mechanical
system prevents opening of
the left side door. Ensure
that nobody attempts to slide
open this door while the fuel
flap is open.
After closing the flap, the
sliding side door can become
blocked. Push the door to
close it and then open it.
When refilling, ensure that
nobody attempts to open the
sliding side door while the
fuel filler flap is open.

emove the filler cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the filler flap.
A label inside the fuel filler flap reminds you of
the type of fuel to use.
At least 5
litres of fuel must be added in order
to 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.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of nitrogen oxide (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment. The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank with
a capacity of around 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
emptied completely.
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases. 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 a running distance of
685
miles (1,100
km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
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.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
