Practical information

Fuel

Fuel tank capacity: approximately 56 litres.
Reserve level: 6 litres.

Low fuel level

When the low fuel level is reached
in the fuel tank, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
When it first comes on, about
6 litres of fuel is left in the tank.

Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal. When driving, this message
and audible signal are repeated with increasing
frequency as the fuel level drops towards 0.
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.

If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key, or the START/STOP button
if your vehicle has Keyless Entry and
Starting.

Refuelling

If you have put in the wrong fuel for your
vehicle, you must have the fuel tank
drained and filled with the correct fuel
before starting the engine.

A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, 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
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the
fuel system.

Once you have finished refuelling:
F  Refit the filler cap.
F  Turn it to the right.
F  Close the fuel filler flap.

To refuel in complete safety:
F You must switch off the engine.
F With the vehicle unlocked, press the rear

part of the filler flap.

F Turn the filler cap to the left.
F Remove the filler cap and hook it onto the

clip located on the inside of the filler flap,

F Fill up the tank completely, but do not

continue after the 3

cut-off of the nozzle;

this could cause malfunctions.

246

Practical information

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)

(Depending on the country of sale.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps
avoid the risk of engine damage that can result
from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.

Operation

When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not continue trying but introduce a
Diesel filler nozzle instead.

It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank.
To ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place
the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact
with the flap of the misfuel prevention
device and pour slowly.

Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the PEUGEOT dealer network
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.

Compatibility of fuels

Fuel used for Diesel
engines

The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and which can be
obtained from filling stations.

Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester),

Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester),

Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940 mixed with
a biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).

247

Practical information

For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

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 Diesel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715000 standard.

Diesel at low temperature

The use of B20 or B30 fuel that
meets the standard EN16709 is
possible with your Diesel engine.
However, this use, even occasional,
requires strict application of the
special servicing conditions referred
to as "Arduous conditions".

At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could entail an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a little while.

Fuel used for petrol engines

The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels
that conform to current and future European
standards and which can be obtained from
filling stations:

Petrol that meets standard EN228,
mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN15376.

The only petrol additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715001 standard.

Travelling abroad

Certain fuels could damage the engine
of your vehicle.
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 any additional information, contact a
dealer.

248

Practical information

Towing a trailer

Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.

Please respect the maximum authorised
towable weights, indicated on the
registration certificate or in your vehicle’s
technical data.

For more information on Weights (and the
towed loads which apply to your vehicle)
refer to the corresponding section.

Practical information

Snow chains

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.

The snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.

Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised .

Installation tips

F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,

stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side
of the road.

F Apply the parking brake and position any

wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.

F Fit the chains following the instructions

provided by the manufacturer.

F Move off gently and drive for a few

moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).

F Stop your vehicle and check that the snow

chains are correctly tightened.

It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.

Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road surface. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.

Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
