Fuel tank
Low fuel level Refuelling
A label affixed to the inside of the filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to be used according to your engine. More than 5 litres of fuel must be added in order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the low fuel level is reached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen. When the lamp first comes on, there is approximately 6 litres of fuel remaining. Until sufficient fuel has been added, this warning lamp appears every time the ignition is switched on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message. When driving, this audible signal and message are repeated with increasing frequency, as the fuel level drops towards "0" .
Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.
You must refuel to avoid running out of fuel. If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the "Checks" section.
The key cannot be removed from the lock until the cap is put back on the tank. Opening the cap may trigger an inrush of air. This vacuum, which is completely
normal, is caused by the sealing of the fuel system.

To fill the tank safely: the engine must be switched off, open the fuel filler flap, insert the key in the cap, then turn it to the left,
When refuelling is complete: put the cap back in place, turn the key to the right, then remove it from the cap, close the filler flap.
remove the cap and secure it on the hook, located on the inside of the flap, fill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut- off of the nozzle ; this could cause malfunctions.
Operating fault
A malfunction of the fuel gauge is indicated by the return to zero of the fuel gauge needle. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.

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).

Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *
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.
* According to country of sale.
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.
Operation
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.

Lighting controls
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle are designed to adapt the lighting progressively in relation to the climatic conditions and so improve the driver's visibility:
- sidelamps, to be seen, - dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers, - main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear, - directional headlamps for improved visibility when cornering.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are installed to fulfil the requirements of particular driving conditions: - a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance, - front foglamps for even better visibility, - daytime running lamps to be seen during the day.
Programming
Various automatic lighting control modes are also available according to the following options: - guide-me-home lighting, - automatic lighting, - directional headlamps.
System for selection and control of the various front and rear lamps providing the vehicle's lighting.
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that drives on the other side of the road, the headlamps must be adjusted to avoid dazzling on-coming drivers. Contact an official dealer or a qualified workshop.

Switching off the lighting when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the lamps switch off immediately, except for the dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home lighting is activated.
In good or rainy weather, by both day and night, the front foglamps and the rear foglamps are prohibited. In these situations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or falling snow. In these weather conditions, you should switch on the foglamps and dipped beam headlamps manually, as the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light. Do not forget to switch off the front and rear foglamps when they are no longer necessary.
Switching on the lighting when switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the ring A to position "0" - lighting off, then to the position of your choice. If the lighting is switched on manually after switching off the ignition, there is an audible signal when a front door is opened to warn the driver that they have forgotten to switch off the vehicle's lighting, with the ignition off. They switch off automatically after a period which depends on the state of charge of the battery (entry to energy economy mode).

Manual guide-me-home
lighting
The temporary illumination of the dipped beam headlamps after the vehicle's ignition has been switched off makes the driver's exit easier when the light is poor.
Switching on
With the ignition off, "flash" the headlamps using the lighting stalk. A further "headlamp flash" switches the function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches off automatically after a set time.
Daytime running lamps
(LEDs)
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
They come on automatically when the engine is started, when the lighting control stalk is in position " 0 " or " AUTO ".
