CHECKS
Low fuel level
When the fuel tank level E
(Empty) is reached, this warning
lamp comes on. At this moment,
you have around 10 to 12 litres
in the reserve, depending on the capacity
of the tank, the engine type, the driving
conditions and the profile of the road. Refuel
without delay to avoid running out of fuel.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 90 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities, 60 and
125 litres, may be fitted.
REFUELLING
In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures. With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you must
switch off the ignition with the key. The fuel tank must be filled
with the engine
off.
- Open the fuel filler flap.
- Support the cap with one hand.
- With the other hand, insert the key, then turn it anticlockwise.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the flap.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap and close the flap.

CUT-OFF
Following an impact and before
restoring the supply, check that there is
no leak of fuel or sparks so as to avoid any
risk of fire. In the event of a collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply.
It switches on the hazard warning lamps and
the courtesy lamps, as well as unlocking the
doors. To restore the fuel supply, press the first
button located under the glove box.
Then, to restore the electrical power supply,
press the second button, located in the
battery compartment under the driver's floor
(Minibus).
On other versions the second button
is replaced by a fuse; contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Never go underneath a vehicle supported
only by a jack (use an axle stand).
