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.

Compatibility of fuels

7

Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard

containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol

respectively.

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.

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".

A small arrow by the warning lamp

indicates on which side of the vehicle the

fuel ﬁller ﬂap is located.

For all additional information, consult a dealer.

Paraﬃnic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940

standard.

Refuelling

Stop & Start

Never refuel with the engine in STOP

mode; you must switch oﬀ the ignition.

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!

Fuel tank capacity:

approximately 53 litres

(Petrol or Diesel) or 43 litres

(Rechargeable hybrid).

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).

Fuel tank capacity:

approximately 56 litres.

The only fuel additives authorised for use

are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)

or B715000 (Diesel) standards.

Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.

Practical information

To refuel in complete safety:

► You must switch oﬀ the engine.

► Insert the ﬁller nozzle and push it in as far as

possible before starting to refuel (to minimise the

risk of splashing).

This mechanical device prevents ﬁlling the tank

of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.

Located in the ﬁller neck, the misfuel prevention

device is visible when the ﬁller cap is removed.

► Fill the tank.

Do not continue past the 3^rdcut-oﬀ of the

nozzle; as this may cause malfunctions.

► Put the ﬁller cap back in place and turn it to

the right (depending on version).

Operation

► Push the ﬁller ﬂap to close it.

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.

► To open the ﬁller ﬂap, press the ﬂap opening

button or press the rear edge of the ﬁller ﬂap

(depending on version).

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles

After pressing the button, it may take a

few minutes for the ﬁller ﬂap to open.

If the ﬂap becomes stuck, press and hold the

button for more than 3 seconds.

The ﬁller neck is narrower, allowing only

unleaded petrol nozzles to be inserted.

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.

When a petrol ﬁller nozzle is introduced into the

fuel ﬁller neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into

contact with the ﬂap. The system remains closed

and prevents ﬁlling.

► Take care to select the pump that delivers the

correct fuel type for the vehicle's engine (see a

reminder label on the inside of the ﬁller ﬂap).

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles

If the ﬁller ﬂap is accidentally closed

before refuelling, it cannot be opened

manually. Restart the engine and move the

vehicle a few metres before pressing the

ﬁller ﬂap opening button again.

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type

ﬁller nozzle.

The use of a fuel jerrycan to ﬁll the tank

remains possible.

Travelling abroad

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be

diﬀerent in other countries, the presence

of the misfuel prevention device may make

refuelling impossible.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)

(Depending on country of sale.)

► Turn the ﬁller cap to the left, remove it

and place it on its support on the ﬁller ﬂap

(depending on version).

avoid damaging the roof bars and the ﬁxings

on the vehicle.

Be sure to refer to national legislation in order

to comply with the regulations for transporting

objects that are longer than the vehicle.

For more information on snow chains, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Installation tips

► To ﬁt the snow chains during a journey, stop

the vehicle on a ﬂat surface at the side of the

road.

► Apply the parking brake and position any

wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent

movement of the vehicle.

► Fit the snow chains following the instructions

provided by the manufacturer.

► Move oﬀ gently and drive for a few moments,

without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).

► Stop the vehicle and check that the snow

chains are correctly tightened.

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 the

front wheels. They must never be ﬁtted to

"space-saver" type spare wheels.

Observe the legislation in force in your

country relating to the use of snow

chains and maximum authorised speeds.

Recommendations

Distribute the load uniformly, taking care

to avoid overloading one of the sides.

Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close

as possible to the roof.

It is strongly recommended that you

practise ﬁtting the snow chains on a level

and dry surface before setting oﬀ.

Use only chains designed to be ﬁtted to the type

of wheel ﬁtted to the vehicle:

Secure the load ﬁrmly.

Avoid driving with snow chains on roads

that have been cleared of snow to avoid

damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road

surface. If the vehicle is ﬁtted with alloy

wheels, check that no part of the chain or its

ﬁxings is in contact with the wheel rim.

Original tyre size

215/65 R17

Maximum link size

Drive gently: the vehicle will be more

susceptible to the eﬀects of side winds and its

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.

Engine oil

The level is checked, with the engine

having been switched oﬀ for at least 30

minutes and on level ground, either using the oil

level indicator in the instrument panel when the

ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped

with an electric gauge), or 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).

– below mark B: top up the engine oil

immediately.

The ﬂuids must comply with the

manufacturer's requirements and with

the vehicle's engine.

Oil grade

Before topping up or changing the

engine oil, check that the oil is suitable

for your engine and complies with the

recommendations in the service schedule

supplied with the vehicle (or available

from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualiﬁed

workshop).

In order to maintain the reliability of the

engine and emissions control system,

never use additives in the engine oil.

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).

Checking using the dipstick

Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate

your warranty in the event of engine failure.

For the location of the dipstick, please refer

to the illustration of the corresponding engine

Practical information

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure

label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven

for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles

(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add

0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the

label.

Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be

identiﬁed by this symbol on their

sidewalls.

For more information on the Electric

parking brake, refer to the

corresponding section.

Shock absorbers

It is not easy for drivers to detect when

shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,

the shock absorbers have a major impact on

road holding and braking performance.

For your safety and driving comfort, it is

important to have them regularly checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Under-inﬂation increases energy

consumption. Non-compliant tyre

pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely

and have an adverse eﬀect on the vehicle's

road holding - risk of accident!

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.

Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the

braking and road holding performance of the

vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the

tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as

the presence of the valve caps.

When the wear indicators no longer appear set

back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is

less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as

possible.

Using diﬀerent size wheels and tyres from those

speciﬁed can aﬀect the lifetime of tyres, wheel

rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer

reading and have an adverse eﬀect on road

holding.

Fitting diﬀerent tyres on the front and rear axles

can cause the ESC to mistime.

Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres

that will be stored when ﬁtting winter or summer

tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away

from direct exposure to the sun's rays.

Timing and accessory kits

The timing and accessory kits are used

from the time the engine is started until it

is switched oﬀ. It is normal for them to wear over

time.

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.

A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage

the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the

recommended replacement frequency, stated in

distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is

reached ﬁrst.

Brake disc wear

For information on checking brake disc

wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

AdBlue^®(BlueHDi)

To respect the environment and ensure

compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without

adversely aﬀecting the performance or fuel

consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT

stations equipped with AdBlue^®pumps specially

designed for passenger vehicles.

7

Recommendations on storage

SCR system

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.

Using a liquid called AdBlue^®that contains

urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of

the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and

water, which are harmless to health and the

environment.

The AdBlue^®is contained in a special

tank holding about 17 litres.

Its capacity allows a driving range of

approximately 4,000 miles (6,500 km), which

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.

If the ﬂuid has frozen, it can be used once it has

completely thawed out at room temperature.

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.

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).

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.

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).

For more information on the Warning

and indicator lamps and the associated

alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the

corresponding sections.

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.

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.

You can obtain AdBlue^®from a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop, as well as service

185

Practical information

Store AdBlue^®out of the reach of

children, in its original container.

► Press the "START/STOP" button to switch oﬀ

the engine.

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^®top-ups of

5 litres or more.

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.

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 5 litres.

Never pour the AdBlue^®into the Diesel

fuel tank.

Free-wheeling

In certain situations, it is necessary to put the

vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on

a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),

rail or sea transport).

The procedure varies according to the type of

gearbox and parking brake.

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.

► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue^®tank anti-

clockwise and remove it.

electric parking brake

► 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.

Important: in the event of a top-up after

an AdBlue breakdown, you must wait

about 5 minutes before switching on the

ignition, without opening the driver's door,

unlocking the vehicle or bringing the
