Driving
6Operating principle



When an approaching obstacle is detected, the
symbol 1 or 2 flashes on the touch screen, in the
Parking sensors view or in the various contextual
views of the Visiopark 1 or Visiopark 2 functions
(depending on version).
The symbol is complemented by an audible
signal when the vehicle is reversing.
An obstacle is approaching in the blind spot on the rear right-hand/
left-hand side or on both sides of the vehicle.
In the event of a malfunction of these functions
or of the touch screen, or if the driver deactivates
the views from these functions on the touch
screen, detection of an approaching obstacle
is still indicated by the audible signal when the
vehicle is reversing.
Activation/Deactivation
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
The system's status is saved when the ignition is
switched off.
Operating limits
The system may not work in the following cases:
– T owing a trailer.
–

Using a bicycle carrier on a towing device.
–


Extreme temperature changes.
–


If the rear bumper is damaged.
–


Accumulation or
projection of external
elements (e.g.
mud, ice, snow), application of
stickers.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of your
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
If the rear bumper is to be repainted,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop; certain types of paint could
interfere with the operation of the radars.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when
engaging reverse gear, during reversing
or if the driver attempts to activate the system,
this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

7Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol
respectively.

Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk
of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 52 litres
(Petrol or Diesel) or 40 litres (Rechargeable
hybrid).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of
a message and an audible signal. When it first
comes on, about 6 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must 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.
A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
Any addition of fuel must be in quantities of at
least 10 litres, in order to be registered by the
fuel gauge.
Opening the filler flap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely
normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel
system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►

Always switch off the engine.

152
Practical information
► To open the filler flap, press the flap opening
button or press the rear edge of the filler flap
(depending on version).
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
After pressing the button, it may take a
few minutes for the filler flap to open.
If the flap becomes stuck, press and hold the
button for more than 3
seconds.
►

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


► Turn the filler cap to the left, remove it
and place it on its support on the filler flap
(depending on version).
►

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


Fill the tank.
Do not continue past the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle; as this may cause malfunctions.
►

Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to
the right (depending on version).
►


Push the filler flap to close it.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
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, allowing only
unleaded petrol nozzles to be inserted.
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.
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 is visible when the filler cap is removed.
Operation

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 introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
The misfuel prevention device does not prevent filling with a jerrycan, regardless
of the fuel type.
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.
Rechargeable hybrid
system
Electrical system
