Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest
items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resis-
tance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a
roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refi t your sum-
mer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to
the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or
caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil fi lter,
air fi lter, passenger compartment fi lter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended in the warranty and
maintenance record.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the
nozzle to avoid any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the fi rst
1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel
c onsumption settle down to a consistent average.

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.
FUEL TANK
To fi ll the tank safely:
the engine must be switched off,
open the fuel fi ller fl ap,
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 re- move it from the cap,
close the fi ller fl ap. remove the cap and secure it on the hook, located on the inside of the
fl ap,
fi ll the tank, but do not continue af-
ter the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle ;
this could cause malfunctions.
Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.
Refuelling
A label affi xed to the inside of the fi ller
fl ap reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used according to your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be add-
ed 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
fi rst comes on, there is approximately
6 litres of fuel remaining.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the ig-
nition is switched on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message. When driv-
ing, this audible signal and message are
repeated with increasing frequency, as the
fuel level drops towards "0" .
Operating fault
A malfunction of the fuel gauge is indi-
cated by the return to zero of the fuel
gauge needle.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you
must switch off the ignition with the
key.
Low fuel level
You must refuel to avoid running out of
fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to the "Checks" section.

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly com-
patible with E10 or E24 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10 % or 24 % etha-
nol), conforming to European standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for ve-
hicles 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 perfectly com-
patible with biofuels which conform to
current and future European standards
(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-
dard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard EN 14214)
available at the pumps (containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
MISFUEL PREVENTION (DIESEL) *
Mechanical device which prevents fi ll-
ing the tank of a Diesel vehicle with
petrol. It avoids the risk of engine dam-
age that can result from fi lling with the
wrong fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
fi ller cap is removed.
Operation
It remains possible to use a fuel
can to fi ll the tank.
In order to ensure a good fl ow of
fuel, do not place the nozzle of the
fuel can in direct contact with the
fl ap of the misfuel prevention de-
vice and pour slowly.
When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced
into the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel
vehicle, it comes into contact with the
fl ap. The system remains closed and
prevents fi lling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type fi ller nozzle.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may
be different in other countries, the
presence of the misfuel prevention
device may make refuelling impos-
sible.
Before travelling abroad, we rec-
ommend 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.
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or dilut-
ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
system).
* According to country of sale.
