Checks
Low fuel level
When the fuel tank minimum 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 ver y little fuel remaining in the tank.
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 per fectly normal and results from the sealing of the system.
Fuel tank
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres.
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.
Filling
To fill the tank safely:  the engine must be switched off, open the fuel filler flap by pressing at its rear,  insert the key in the cap, 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,  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. If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the "Running out of fuel - Diesel" section.

Checks
If you have put in the wrong fuel for the engine of your vehicle, you must have the fuel tank drained and filled with the correct fuel before star ting the engine.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an impact.
When you have filled the tank:  put the cap back in place,  turn the key to the right, then remove it from the cap,  close the flap.

Checks
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 persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *
* According to country of sale.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank. In order 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 s l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible. 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 want to travel.
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids 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.

Checks
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are per fectly compatible with E10 or E24 type petrol biofuels (containing 10 % or 24 % ethanol), conforming to European standards EN 228 and EN 15376. E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must comply with European standard EN 15293. For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed to run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are per fectly compatible with biofuels which conform to current and future European standards (Diesel fuel which complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which complies with standard EN 14214) available at the pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). The B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel engines; however, this use is subject to strict application of the special servicing conditions. 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...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).

198
Checks
On vehicle fitted with HDi engines, the fuel system must be primed if you run out of fuel; refer to the engine compartment view on the "Diesel engine" section. If the tank on your vehicle is fitted with a misfuel prevention device, refer to the corresponding section.
Running out of fuel (Diesel)
If the engine does not start first time, don't keep trying. Start the procedure again from the beginning.
 Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel.  Open the bonnet.  Press and release the priming pump until resistance is felt (there may be resistance on the first press).  Operate the starter until the engine starts.  Close the bonnet.
1.4 litre HDi engine
 Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel.  Open the bonnet.  If necessary, unclip the styling cover for access to the priming pump.  Squeeze and release the priming pump repeatedly until resistance is felt (there may be resistance at the first press).  Operate the starter 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.  Clip the styling cover back in place.  Close the bonnet.

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) on the windscreen lower crossmember. This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the windscreen.
C. Manufacturer's label. The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label affixed to the middle pillar, on the passenger's side.
D. Tyre/paint label. This label is fitted to the middle 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.
