  Low  fuel  level 

 When the low fuel level is reached 
this warning lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel. There remains 

approximately 5 litres  of fuel in 

the tank. When the warning lamp 
flashes, there is  

very little fuel left . 

  The key cannot be removed from the 
lock until the cap is refitted. 
 Removing the filler cap may cause an 
inrush of air. This vacuum is perfectly 
normal and results from the sealing of 
the  system.  

                   Fuel  tank 

  Fuel tank capacity: approximately  

50 litres   ( 45 litres  for the BlueHDi Diesel engine). 

1.   Open the filler flap. 

2.   Remove the filler cap. 

3.   Hook  the  filler  cap.   

  Refuelling 

  To fill the tank safely: 


    

the engine must be switched off,



   open the fuel filler flap  

1 , 



   insert the key in the cap  

2 , then turn it to 

the left, 

      With Stop & Start, never refuel with the 
system in STOP mode; you must switch 
off the ignition with the key.  



   remove the cap and hook it onto the clip 

located on the inside of the flap  

3 , 



   fill the tank,  

but do not continue after the 

3rd cut-off of the pump ; this could cause 

malfunctions.  

 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 self-adhesive label on the inner face of the 
filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use 
depending on your engine. 
 Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to 
be registered by the fuel gauge.

 Compatibility  of 

fuels 

          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. 

  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.   

   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 sales name, etc.) 

to ensure correct operation of the 

engine.

 For any additional information, contact 
your  dealer.   

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

          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). 

 Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets 
standard EN15940 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). 

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

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

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

           Diesel  fuel  at  low  temperature 

 In temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the 
formation of paraffins in the summer Diesel 
fuels may result in abnormal operation of the 
fuel supply system. To avoid this, the use of 
winter Diesel fuels is recommended, keeping 
the tank topped up to more than 50% of its 
capacity. 
 If in spite of this you experience difficulties 
starting the engine in temperatures below -15°C 
(+5°F), simply leave the vehicle in a garage or a 
heated workshop for a while.

                 Identifi cation markings 

A.    Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) 

under the bonnet.     

 

This number is engraved on the bodywork 
near the damper support. 

  The tyre pressures must be checked 
when the tyres are cold, at least once 
a month.  

  Low tyre pressures increase fuel 
consumption.   

B.    Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at 

the bottom of the windscreen aperture.     

 

This number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible through the 
windscreen. 

C.    Manufacturer's label.     

 

This number is indicated on a self-
destroying label affixed to the centre pillar, 
on the left-hand or right-hand side. 

D.    Tyre/paint label.     

 

This self-adhesive label is affixed to the 
centre pillar, on the driver's side.  

 It bears the following information: 
   -   the tyre inflation pressures with and without 

load, 

  -   the tyre sizes, 
  -   the inflation pressure of the spare wheel, 
  -   the paint colour code.   

 Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.  

  The original tyres fitted to the vehicle 
may have a load index or speed rating 
higher than those given on the label; 
this has no effect on the inflation 
pressures.
