Dashboard instruments
In certain extreme weather conditions 
(rain and/or snow, bright sunshine, etc.), 
the head-up display may not be legible or 
may suffer temporary interference.
Some sunglasses may hamper reading of the 
information.
To clean the projection blade, use a clean, 
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth or 
microfibre cloth). Do not use a dry or abrasive 
cloth, or detergent or solvent products, due to 
the risk of scratching the projection blade or 
damaging the non-reflective coating.
This system operates when the engine is  running, and the settings are saved when 
the ignition is switched off.
Warning and indicator 
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator 
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a 
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating 
status of a system (operation or deactivation 
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two 
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied 
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed 
in a screen. Relating the type of alert to the operating status 
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether 
the situation is normal or whether a fault has 
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp 
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on 
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched 
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon 
as the engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Persistent warning lamp
If a red or orange warning lamp comes on, there 
may be fault which needs further investigation.
If a lamp remains lit
The references (1), (2) and (3) in the warning 
and indicator lamp description indicate whether 
you should contact a qualified professional in 
addition to the immediate recommended actions.
(1): You must stop the vehicle
.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off 
the ignition.
(2): Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
(3): Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

Practical information
Compatibility of fuels  
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 Diesel fuel 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 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 69 litres.
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, 
one of these warning lamps lights 
up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the 
display of a message and an audible signal. 
When it first comes on, about 8 litres of fuel 
remain.
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
At least 8 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.
To refuel in complete safety:
►
 
Always switch off the engine.
►
 
Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry 
and Start.
 
 
► Open the fuel filler flap.    CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products, solvents, 
petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean 
stubborn stains - risk of scratching the 
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to 
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft cloth and soapy water or a pH 
neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean 
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on 
the product.
Textured paint
This type of paint reacts under the effect of 
light, through variations in appearance and 
finish that highlight the lines and contours of the 
vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that 
remain visible and create a unique satin effect 
with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a 
surprising touch.
Never attempt to clean without water.
Never clean your vehicle in an automatic 
roller-brush car wash.
Never select the programme with hot wax 
finish.
Never use high-pressure lances equipped 
with brushes - risk of scratching paint!
Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to 
the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products 
irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.
Choose high-pressure wash, or at least 
high-flow water jet.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Only a clean microfibre cloth
  is recommended 
for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle 
without rubbing.
Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the 
bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.
Clean off minor marks (for example, finger 
marks), using a maintenance product 
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Decals
(Depending on version)
Do not use a high-pressure washer to 
clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or 
detaching the decals!
Use a high-flow hose (temperature 
between 25°C and 40°C).
Place the jet of water perpendicular to the 
surface to be cleaned.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Textile
The dashboard, door panels and seats may 
contain parts made of textile material.
Maintenance
Do not use aggressive cleaning products 
(e.g.   alcohol, solvent or ammonia).
Do not use steam-cleaning systems - risk of 
affecting the adhesion of the fabrics!
Remove dust from the textile parts 
regularly with a dry cloth, soft brush or 
vacuum cleaner
.
Rub down the
  textile   parts once per year with 
a clean, damp cloth. After leaving overnight to 
dry, brush with a soft-bristled brush.
Stain removal
Do not rub the stain or it may spread or 
you may cause the substance to 
penetrate the surface.
Act quickly by reducing the stain from its  edges inwards.
Remove as much substance or solids as 
possible using a spoon or spatula, and 
remove
  as much liquid as possible   using 
absorbent paper.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Leather
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate regular 
care is essential for its durability.
It must be protected and nourished using a 
specific leather product, to keep it supple and 
preserve its original appearance.
Do not use maintenance products which 
are not suitable for cleaning   leather 
(e.g.
  solvent, detergent, petrol, pure alcohol).
Do not use bleaching or colour-removal 
products (e.g.
  perchloroethylene).
When cleaning items partly made from 
leather, take care not to damage the other 
materials with the specific leather product.
Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids, 
quickly mop up any surplus.
Before cleaning, wipe off any residues liable 
to scuff the leather, using a cloth that has 
been dampened with demineralised water 
and thoroughly wrung out.
Clean the leather, without rubbing too 
vigorously, using a soft cloth moistened with 
soapy water or a pH-neutral product.
Dry with a soft, dry cloth.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m
