Tyre under-inflation 
detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre 
pressure while driving.
The system continuously monitors the 
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the 
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of 
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more 
tyres.This system does not eliminate the need 
to check the tyre pressures (including 
the spare wheel) every month as well as 
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs 
handling, extends braking distances and 
causes early tyre wear, particularly in 
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high 
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your 
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure 
label.
Tyre pressure should be checked when 
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 
1
  hour or after a journey of less than 
6
  miles (10   km) at moderate speeds). 
Other wise, add 0.3
  bar (30   kPa) to the 
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification 
markings , including the tyre pressure 
label, refer to the corresponding section.
Under-inflation alert 
This is indicated by continuous 
illumination of this warning lamp, an 
audible signal and, depending on 
equipment, the display of a message.
- In the event of a puncture, use the  temporary puncture repair kit or the spare 
wheel (depending on equipment).

i
 f you have a compressor, such as the one 
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check 
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
-
 
i
 f it is not possible to make this check 
immediately, drive carefully at reduced 
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not 
always cause visible bulging of the tyre. 
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
The alert continues until the tyre or tyres 
concerned are reinflated, repaired or 
replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver or a steel 
rim type) does not have a sensor.
In the event of a problem with one of the tyres, 
depending on equipment, the symbol or the 
message appears to identify it.

Fuel
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).
F
 
A
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.

I

F
 
R
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.

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.
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: 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 meeting standard 
EN16709 can be used in your 
Diesel engine. However, this use, 
even occasional, requires strict 
application of the special ser vicing 
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.
The only petrol additives authorised for 
use are those that meet the B715001 
standard.

129
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.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve 
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle 
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the 
driving 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.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the 
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size
195/65 R15
9
  mm
19 5/ 70 R15
205/65 R15 215/5 5 R16215 / 5 0 R17
For more information on snow chains, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. 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 fixtures is in contact with the 
wheel rim.
Installation advice
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 if necessary 
put wheel chocks against the wheels to 
prevent your vehicle from sliding.

without exceeding 31
  mph (50   km/h).
F
 
S

chains are correctly tightened.
