Practical information
7► Take care to select the pump that delivers the 
correct fuel type for your vehicle's engine (see a 
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).
► 
T
 urn the filler cap to the left, remove it and 
place it on its support (on the filler
  flap).
►
 
Insert the filler nozzle and push it in as far as 
possible before starting to refuel (to minimise the 
risk of splashing).
Do not continue after the nozzle’
s third cut-
out. Doing so may cause malfunctions.
►
 
Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to 
the right.
►
 
Close the fuel filler flap.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for the 
vehicle, you must have the fuel tank 
drained and filled with the correct fuel before 
starting the engine.
Depending on version, the vehicle is fitted with 
a catalytic converter, which helps to reduce the 
level of harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded 
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded 
petrol nozzles only.
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.
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 
vehicle's registration certificate, on the 
manufacturer's label and in the  Technical 
data section of this guide.
If using accessories attached to the 
towing device (e.g.   bicycle carriers, tow 
boxes):
–
 
Comply with the maximum authorised nose 
weight.
–
 
Do not transport more than 4 conventional 
bicycles or 2 electric bicycles.
When loading bicycles onto a bicycle carrier 
on a towball, be sure to place the heaviest 
bicycles as close as possible to the vehicle.
Observe the legislation in force in the 
country where you are driving.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve 
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle 
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to 
driving wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your 
country relating to the use of snow 
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Only use chains designed for the vehicle's wheel 
type:
Tyre size Link size
245/70 R16 13 to 16
  mm
265/65 R17 13 to 16
  mm
265/60 R18 13 to 16
  mm
It is also possible to use snow socks.
For more information on snow chains, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.   CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Diesel fuel system
This system is under very high pressure.
All work must be carried out only by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
* Depending on engine.
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in 
accordance with the Manufacturer's service 
schedule. Top them up if required, unless 
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the 
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the  Manufacturer's requirements and with 
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the  bonnet, as certain areas of the engine 
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the 
cooling fan could start at any time (even with 
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or  fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and 
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved 
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine  having been switched off for at least 30 
minutes and on level ground, using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two 
services (or oil changes). It is recommended 
that you check the level, and top up if necessary, 
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emissions control system, 
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer 
to the illustration of the corresponding engine 
compartment.
►
 
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and 
pull it out completely

Practical information
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.
Never pour the AdBlue® into the Diesel 
fuel tank.
If  any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are 
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse 
immediately with cold water or wipe with a 
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a 
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after 
a breakdown because of a lack of 
AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5 
minutes before switching on the ignition, 
without opening the driver’s door, 
unlocking the vehicle, inserting the key 
into the ignition switch, or bringing the 
key for the "Keyless Entry and Start" 
system into the passenger compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10 
seconds before starting the engine.
►
 
Switch off the ignition and remove the key 
from the switch to switch off the engine.
or
►
 
With Keyless Entry and Start, press the 
"
START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.

Practical information
7► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-
clockwise and remove it.
►
 
With a container of 
AdBlue
®: after checking 
the expiry date, read the instructions on the 
label carefully before pouring the contents of the 
container into the vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
►
 With an 
AdBlue® pump: insert the nozzle and 
fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts 
out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
–
 Add between 10 and 13 litres using 
AdBlue® containers.
–
 Stop after the nozzle’ s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
The system only registers AdBlue
® 
intermediate top-ups of 5
 
litres or more.
If  the AdBlue® tank is completely empty 
– which is confirmed by the message 
“Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible ” – it is 
essential to add at least 10
  litres.
Top-up detection may not be instantaneous 
after addition. It may take a few minutes of 
driving before the top-up detection is effective.
Maintenance
For more information on the  Engine 
compartment, in particular the location of the 
components under the bonnet, refer to the 
corresponding section.
For the maintenance of your vehicle, you can 
also contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Vehicle maintenance must always be 
carried out with the engine switched off 
and the ignition off.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as 
certain areas of the engine may be extremely 
hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could 
start at any time (even with the ignition off).
Wait at least one hour after switching off the 
engine before working on the vehicle - risk of 
burns!
Take care with objects or clothing that could 
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan - 
risk of strangulation!
Always wear gloves, protective glasses and 
suitable clothing to avoid direct contact with 
liquids against the skin or eyes.
In the event of contact with the skin, wash 
the affected area thoroughly 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.
Never go underneath the vehicle raised 
using a jack; always use an axle 
stand-type support.
When working on the vehicle's electrical 
system, take care not to cause a short circuit - 
risk of burns and fire.
Flammable products and all sources of heat 
(sparks, for example) must be kept away from 
the battery, the fuel tank and all components 
of the fuel system.
Never run the engine in a closed space 
without sufficient ventilation; always use a 
ventilation system such as an exhaust gas 
extractor, for example.
Never leave liquids (oil, coolant) unattended. 
Keep these liquids out of the reach of children 
and animals.
The liquids and components replaced  must have the same characteristics and 
comply with the manufacturer's 
recommendations.
General checks
Check the following components to ensure 
proper operation and longevity of the vehicle.

In the event of a breakdown
8After using the fire extinguisher, store it in a safe 
place, then replace it with a new extinguisher as 
soon as possible.
Never keep a fire extinguisher that has 
already been used or that does not bear 
its seal.
When the fire extinguisher is not used, attach 
it to its support. There is a risk of movement 
in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
The fire extinguisher must be replaced 
approximately every 5 years; the expiry date 
is written on its label.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop to replace the fire 
extinguisher with one that has the same 
specifications as the original.
Running out of fuel 
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be 
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before starting to prime the system, it is 
essential to put at least 5 litres of Diesel into the 
fuel tank.
For non-BlueHDi versions, the fuel system 
components are located in the engine 
compartment; this may be under a removable 
cover.
For more information on  Refuelling and 
on the Engine compartment (in 
particular the location of the priming pump), 
refer to the corresponding section.
Non-BlueHDi engines
► Open the bonnet.
►  Loosen the degassing bolt about 2 to 3 turns.
► Activate the priming pump until fuel 
(without air) appears through the 
degassing bolt.
►
 
Retighten the degassing bolt.
►
 
Operate the starter motor until the engine 
starts (if the engine does not start at the first 
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before trying 
again).
►
 
If the engine does not start after a few 
attempts, operate the priming pump again, then 
start the engine.
►
 
Close the bonnet.
BlueHDi engines
► Switch on the ignition (without starting the 
engine).
►
