RECOMMENDS
PEUGEOT & TOTAL,
A PARTNERSHIP TO DELIVER
BETTER PERFORMANCE!
2015 was marked by PEUGEOT's return to Rally-Raid,
one of the most difficult motorsport disciplines in the
world. To obtain the best performance in these trials,
PEUGEOT Sport chose TOTAL QUARTZ for the
PEUGEOT 2008 DKR, a lubricant of high technology
which protects the engine in the most severe
conditions.
TOTAL QUARTZ protects your engine against the effects
of time.
TOTAL QUARTZ Ineo First is a high performance lubricant,
the result of work done together by PEUGEOT and TOTAL
R&D. Specially formulated for the engines in PEUGEOT
vehicles, its innovative technology significantly reduces CO
2
emissions and keeps your engine clean.

Fuel tank
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 53 litres.
When the low fuel level is reached in the
fuel tank, this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an audible
signal. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 6 litres of fuel in the tank.
Low fuel level
A label affixed to the inside of the flap reminds
you of the type of fuel to be used 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 cap may create a noise a
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of the
fuel system. To fill the tank in complete safety:
F
t he engine must be switched off,
F

w
ith the vehicle unlocked, press the rear
part of the filler flap,
F

t
urn the filler cap to the left,
F

r
emove the filler cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the filler flap,
F

f
ill the tank, but do not continue after the
3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause
malfunctions.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop

&

Start,
never refuel with the engine in
STOP

mode; you must switch off the
ignition using the key, or the START/
STOP button if your vehicle has Keyless
Entry and Starting.
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.
Refuelling
When you have filled the tank:
F
p ut the filler cap back in place,
F

t
urn it to the right,
F

c
lose the filler flap.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*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.
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.
* Depending on the 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.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so 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
intend to travel.

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
For more information on Driving
advice
, particularly when towing, refer
to the corresponding section.
For more information on Weights (and
the towed loads which apply to your
vehicle) refer to the corresponding
section. You must observe the maximum trailer
weight, indicated on the registration
certificate or in the technical
specification for your vehicle.

Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted, verifying the follow points:
- t he towball is correctly engaged (position A ),
-

t
he safety lock is on and the key removed; the trigger can no longer be operated,
-

t
he towball must not be able to move in its carrier; test by shaking it with your hand.
If the towball is not locked, the trailer could separate - Risk of an accident!
During use
Never release the locking system with a trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised weight for the vehicle plus trailer - the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
You must not exceed the maximum nose weight on the towbar: if exceeded, this could result
in detachment from the vehicle - Risk of an accident!
Check that the trailer lighting and signalling work correctly.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of the headlamp beam height.
For more information on Adjusting the headlamp beam height , refer to the corresponding
section.
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load on a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball must be
removed and the protective plug inserted in the carrier. This measure applies particularly
where the towball might obscure visibility of the number plate or its lighting.
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-
pressure jet wash, the towball must be removed
and the protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar system.
