Practical information
► Take care to select the pump that delivers the
correct fuel type for your vehicle's engine (see a
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).
►
Insert the key into the filler cap, if your vehicle
has a standard key

.
►

T
urn the filler cap to the left.


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

Insert the nozzle as far as it will go (pressing
against the metal non-return valve A

).
►

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

Put the filler cap back in place and close it by
turning it to the right.
►


Push the fuel filler flap to close it (your
vehicle must be unlocked).
Y

our vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a
device which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting petrol
nozzles only.
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 starting the engine.
For the THP 225 S&S EAT8 engine, the use
of RON98 unleaded petrol is recommended to
ensure optimum engine performance.
Fuel cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.
Diesel misfuel prevention
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 a Diesel vehicle, it comes into
contact with the flap. The system remains closed
and prevents filling.
Do not persist but instead insert a Diesel
filler nozzle.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank slowly.
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.
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.
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.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Only use chains that have been designed for the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle. Original tyre size Type of chain195/65 R15 9 mm link
205/55 R16
225/45 R17
225/40 R18 K-Summit K23
235/35 R19 Polaire Grip 70
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the chains during a journey, stop the
vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.
► Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.

Practical information
Towing device
Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance.
The maximum towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and their
wiring harnesses approved by
PEUGEOT. We recommend having them
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball weight) also includes
the use of accessories (bicycle carriers,
tow boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
GTi towing
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
tow-bar.

147
Practical information
7Never top up from an AdBlue® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Storage recommendations
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for
at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out in the ambient air.
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when
kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the
AdBlue
® may be frozen and so cannot be poured
into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never pour the AdBlue® into the Diesel
fuel tank.
For specific information about how to
access the AdBlue tank, refer to the
detailed descriptions below.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, 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
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5
minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver’s door,
unlocking the vehicle, introducing the key
into the ignition switch, or introducing the
key of the “

Keyless Entry and Starting

”
system into the passenger compartment

.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
Access to the AdBlue®
A blue cap under the fuel filler flap indicates
access to the AdBlue® tank.

– Switch off the ignition and remove the key .
► T urn the AdBlue® tank's blue filler cap
anti-clockwise.
►

Obtain an

AdBlue
® container (check the
use-by date) and pour the contents of the
container into your vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
Or
