Practical information
Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol
respectively.

Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
The only fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
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 all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 40 or 44
litres (Petrol) or 41 litres (Diesel).
Reserve level: approximately 5 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp lights up on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal. When it first comes on,
about 5 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
When refuelling, at least 5 litres 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 vacuum is normal,
caused by the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►

Always switch off the engine.

In the event of a breakdown
► Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
With a tyre repaired using this type of kit,
do not exceed a speed of 50
mph
(80

km/h) and do not drive more than
50

miles (80 km).
You must contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the repair checked
and the tyre changed.
Checking/adjusting tyre
pressures
The compressor can be used, without injecting
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the
tyre pressures.
►

Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep
it in a clean place.
►


Uncoil
the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►

Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten
firmly

.
►

Check that the compressor switch is in
position " O

".
►

Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor

.
►

Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12

V socket.
►

Switch the ignition on.
►


Start the compressor by placing the switch at
position " I

" and adjust the pressure to the value
shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label. To
deflate: press the black button located on the
compressor pipe, near the valve connection.
If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is
not reached, the tyre is damaged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
►

Once the correct pressure is reached, put the
switch in position " O

".
►

Remove the kit and stow it.
►


Refit the cap on the valve.

For more information on the Tool kit,
refer to the corresponding section.
Spare wheel tyre pressure
The inflation pressure for the spare
wheel is indicated on the tyre pressure label
- ensure that its inflation pressure is checked
regularly.
For more information on Identification
markings, particularly the tyre pressure label,
refer to the corresponding section.
Accessing the spare wheel

The spare wheel is stored under the boot carpet.
To access the spare wheel, first refer to the Tool
kit
section.
Depending on version, the spare wheel
may be a standard steel, non-standard or
'space-saver' wheel.
Removing the spare wheel

► Slacken the central nut.
► Remove the fastening device (nut and bolt).
►

Lift the spare wheel towards you from the
rear

.
► Take the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the spare wheel back in place
The punctured wheel cannot be put
under the boot floor.


► Put the spare wheel back in place in its
housing.
► Slacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.
► Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in
the middle of the wheel.
► Tighten the central nut sufficiently to retain
the wheel correctly.
► Depending on version, put the tool box back
in place in the middle of the wheel and clip it in
place.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
