2022 PEUGEOT 308 warning light

151
Practical information
7Compatibility 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 (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk
of damage to 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 52 litres
(Petrol or Diesel) or 40 litres (Rechargeable
hybrid).
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 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
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.
To refuel in complete safety:
►

Always switch off the engine.

Practical information
the connector on the vehicle. A warning is
displayed on the instrument panel.
While charging is in progress, unlocking the
vehicle will cause the charging to stop.
If no action is taken on one of the openings
(door or boot) or on the charging nozzle, the
vehicle will lock again after 30 seconds and
charging will resume automatically.
Never work under the bonnet:
–
Some areas remain very hot, even an hour
after charging ends - risk of burns!
–


The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts
or strangulation!
After charging
Check that the charging flap is closed.
Do not leave the cable connected to the
domestic power socket - risk of short-circuit
or electrocution in the event of contact with or
immersion in water!
Charging procedure

lamps on the control unit light up, then only the
POWER
indicator lamp remains on in green.
►

Remove the protective cover from the
charging nozzle.
►


Insert the nozzle into the vehicle's charging
connector

.
The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing
of the green light guides in the flap and the
flashing of the
CHARGE indicator lamp in green
on the control unit.
If this is not the case, charging has not started;
restart the procedure, ensuring that all of the
connections are properly established.
The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to
indicate that the nozzle is locked.
Accelerated charging (mode 3)

► Follow the accelerated charging unit
(W allbox) user instructions.
►

Remove the protective cover from the
charging nozzle.
►


Insert the nozzle into the vehicle's charging
connector

.
The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing
of the green light guides in the flap.
If this is not the case, charging has not
started; restart the procedure ensuring that all
connections are properly established.
The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to
indicate that the nozzle is locked.
Disconnection

Before disconnecting the nozzle from the
charging connector:
►

If the vehicle is locked, unlock it.

Practical information
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly
tightened (versions without quick-release
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before any work on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out only by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment
filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter
can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of clogging of the particle filter is
indicated by the temporary lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert
message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 37
mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles
used in town, over short distances. It may be
necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.

174
Practical information
may vary considerably depending on your
driving style.
An alert system is triggered once the reserve
level is reached: it is then possible to drive for a
further 1,500 miles (2,400
km) before the tank is
empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts
polluting the environment.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
After 685 miles (1,100 km), a device is
automatically activated to prevent the engine
from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is stopped.
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue® tank, allowing you to continue driving
in very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating
that the reserve level has been reached.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
–

Use
only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
–

Never

transfer AdBlue
® to another container
as it would lose its purity.
–

Never

dilute AdBlue
® with water.
You can obtain AdBlue
® from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop, as well as service
stations equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for
at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when
kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the
AdBlue
® may be frozen and so cannot be poured
into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
