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: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.
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
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).
B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard
EN16709 can be used in your Diesel
engine. However, this use, even
occasional, requires strict application of
the special servicing conditions referred
to as "Arduous conditions".
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
syste m). The only Diesel 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 result in 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.
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
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.
Diesel fuel that meets standard EN590
mixed with a biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7%
Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).

Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 62 litres
(Petrol) or 55 litres (Diesel).
Reser ve level: 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fluid level is reached in
the tank, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
When it first comes on, about
6 litres of fuel is left in the tank.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start,
never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refilling
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,
in order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler flap 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:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine.
F

W
ith the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
edge of the flap to open it (the filler cap is a
part of it). F
I nsert the nozzle so as to push in the metal
non-return flap.
F

M
ake sure that the nozzle is pushed in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk
of blowback).
F

H
old it in this position throughout the filling
operation.
F

P
ush the filler flap to close it.
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 you are filling your tank to the top, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut- off of the nozzle;
this could cause malfunctions.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device 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, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.
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 star ting the engine.
F

T

ake care to select the pump that delivers
the correct type of fuel for your vehicle.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum
combined duration of about forty minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system.
Exiting the mode
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
For more information on the 12 V batter y ,
refer to the corresponding section.
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-

f

or less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-

f

or more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately thirty
minutes.
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.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.

accompanied by a message warning
of the risk of the filter clogging up.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed
of at least 37 mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.

Advice on care and
maintenance
Recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
Warranty and Maintenance Record.
Headlamps and lamps
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating.
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
Use a sponge and soapy water.
The use of a high pressure jet wash for
cleaning the headlamps, lamps and their
surrounds may damage the lacquer and
seals.
Observe the recommendations on
pressure and distance for jet washing.
First clean persistent stains with a sponge
and warm soapy water.
Leather
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate
regular care and cleaning is essential for
its

durability. Refer to your vehicle's Warranty and
Maintenance Record for information on
all
the special precautions to obser ve.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of 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. An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reser ve level is reached: you can then drive
for a further 1,500 miles (2,400
km) before the
tank is empty.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
r
equired by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a running distance of
685 miles (1,100

km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning and
indicator lamps and associated alerts,
refer to the corresponding section.
Practical information

212
In the event of an AdBlue® breakdown,
confirmed by the message "Add AdBlue:
Starting impossible", you must top up with
at least 5 litres.
Never pour AdBlue
® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue
® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the side of the body, 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
an AdBlue breakdown, you must wait
about five minutes before switching on the
ignition, without opening the driver's
door, unlocking the vehicle or bringing
the electronic key into the passenger
compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for
10


seconds before starting the engine.
