correct fuel type for the vehicle's engine (see a
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).
►

urn the filler cap to the left.
►

Remove the filler cap and hang it on its
carrier (on the filler flap).
►


Introduce the filler nozzle and push it in as
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk of
blowback).
►


Fill the tank.
Do not continue past the third cut-off of the
nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions.

urn it to the right.
►

Push the filler flap to close it.
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.
The 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, admitting unleaded
petrol nozzles only.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)
This mechanical device prevents filling the tank
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention
device appears when the filler cap is removed.
Operation

When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted into the
fuel filler neck of a 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.
It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan
to fill the tank.
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, it is advisable to
check with a PEUGEOT dealer if the vehicle
is suitable for the distribution equipment of the
countries visited.
Charging system
(Electric)
400 V electrical system
The electrical system, which operates at a
voltage of approximately 400 V, is identified by
orange cables, and its components are marked
with this symbol:

Practical information
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).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
► Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull
it out completely.
► Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,
non-fluffy cloth.
► Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check: the
correct level is between marks A and B.


A = MAX
B = MIN
Do not start the engine if the level is:

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.
The fluids must comply with the manufacturer's requirements and with
the vehicle's engine.
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).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at 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

8Warning triangle
As a safety precaution, before leaving your
vehicle to set up and install the triangle, switch
on the hazard warning lamps and put on your
high visibility vest.
Assembling and placing the triangle


For versions supplied with a triangle as original
equipment, refer to the illustration above.
For other versions, refer to the assembly
instructions provided with the triangle.
►

Put the triangle in place behind the vehicle,
as required by local legislation.
Running out of fuel
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before starting to prime the system, it is
essential to put at least 5 litres of Diesel into the
fuel tank.
For more information on Refuelling and
on Misfuel prevention (Diesel), please
refer to the corresponding section.
For non-BlueHDi versions, the fuel system
components are located in the engine
compartment, possibly under the removable
cover.
For more information on the Engine
compartment, in particular the location
of these components under the bonnet,
please refer to the corresponding section.

ait around 1 minute and switch off the
ignition.
►

Operate the starter motor to start the engine.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt,

1.6 HDi engines
► Open the bonnet and then, if necessary ,
unclip the cover to access the priming pump.
► Operate the priming pump repeatedly
until resistance is felt (resistance may be
felt at the first press).
►

Operate the starter motor to start the engine
(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
