resume control of the vehicle).
The maximum speeds during manoeuvres are
indicated by these symbols:
75 mph or 7 km/h, for parking space entry.
53 mph or 5 km/h, for parking space exit.
During manoeuvring phases, the steering
wheel performs rapid turns: do not hold
the steering wheel or put your hands between
the spokes of the steering wheel. Watch out
for any objects that could interfere with the
manoeuvre (loose clothing, scarf, tie, etc.).
Risk of injury!
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
monitor the traffic, especially vehicles coming
towards you.
The driver should check that no objects or
people are obstructing the vehicle’s path.
The images from the camera(s) displayed on the touch screen may be
distorted by the terrain.
In shady areas, or in inadequate sunlight
or lighting conditions, the image may be
darkened and with lower contrast. The manoeuvre can be permanently interrupted
at any time, either by the driver or automatically

parking space (parking prohibited, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
–

The system may indicate that a space has
been found but will not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which would not allow the vehicle to follow a
trajectory required for parking.
–


The system may indicate that a space has
been found but the manoeuvre will not be
triggered, because the width of the lane is
insufficient.
–


The system is not designed for performing the
parking manoeuvre on a sharp bend.
–


The system does not detect spaces that
are much larger than the vehicle itself or that
are delimited by obstacles that are too low
(pavements, studs, etc.) or too thin (trees, posts,
wire fences, etc.).
– If the boot is heavily loaded, the tilt of the
vehicle towards the rear may interfere with the
distance measurements.

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 62
litres (Petrol), 55 litres (Diesel) or 43 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.
The filler cap is built into the filler flap or must be
unscrewed (depending on version).
To refuel in complete safety:
►

Always switch off the engine.

158
Practical information

► To open the filler flap, press the flap opening
button for more than 2 seconds or, with the
vehicle unlocked, press the rear of the filler flap
(depending on version).
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
After pressing the button on the
dashboard, the filler flap may not open for
several minutes. A sound is emitted when the
filler flap opens.
If the flap becomes stuck, press and hold
the button on the dashboard 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).
►

T
urn 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 after the nozzle’

s third cut-
out. Doing so may cause malfunctions.
►

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


Push the fuel 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.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
If the filler flap is accidentally closed
before refuelling, it cannot be opened
manually. Restart the engine and move the
vehicle a few metres before pressing the
filler
flap opening button again.
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.
