The Park Assist system cannot operate
with the engine switched off.
When Park Assist is activated, it prevents
Stop & Start from going into STOP mode. In
STOP mode, activation of Park Assist restarts
the engine.
The Park Assist system takes control of the steering for a maximum of 4
manoeuvring cycles. It is deactivated after
these 4 cycles. If the vehicle is not positioned
correctly, take back control to complete the
manoeuvre.
The sequence of manoeuvres and the driving instructions are displayed in the
instrument panel.

steering wheel.
The assistance is deactivated: the display of this symbol indicates that the
steering manoeuvres are no longer controlled
by the system: take over the steering.
Activation of Park Assist deactivates the Blind Spot Monitoring.
The Parking sensors function is not available during parking space
measurement. It intervenes later when
manoeuvring to warn that the vehicle is
approaching an obstacle: the audible signal
becomes continuous when the obstacle is
less than 30 centimetres away.
If the Parking sensors function has
been deactivated, it will be automatically
reactivated during the assisted manoeuvring
phases.
During parking and exit from parking
manoeuvres, the Visiopark 1 - Visiopark
2 functions may come into operation. They
allow better monitoring of the surroundings of
the vehicle, by displaying additional
information in the touch screen.
For more information on the Visiopark
1 - Visiopark 2
functions, refer to the
corresponding section.
In some circumstances, the sensors may
not detect small obstacles located in their
blind spots.
Any object exceeding the size of the vehicle
(e.g.
roof ladder, towball) is not taken
into account by the Park Assist during a
manoeuvre.
Always check the surroundings of the vehicle before starting a manoeuvre.
If the lateral distance between the vehicle and
the space is too great, the system may not be
able to measure the space.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel or put your hands between
the spokes of the steering wheel.

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 53 litres
(Petrol or Diesel) or 43 litres
(Rechargeable hybrid).
Fuel tank capacity:
approximately 56 litres.
Reserve level: approximately 6 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 6 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 on which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
Any addition of fuel must be in quantities of at
least 10 litres, in order to be registered by the
fuel gauge.
Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel
system.
The filler cap is built into the filler
flap or must be
unscrewed (depending on version).

Towing device
Load distribution
► Distribute 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 towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and wiring
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. We
recommend having them fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: with a motorised tailgate and
its Hands-Free Access function, if a towing
device is fitted outside the PEUGEOT dealer
network, it is essential to visit a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to recalibrate
the detection system. Risk of malfunction of
the Hands-Free Access function.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
