Compatibility of fuels
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and which can be
obtained from filling stations:Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590
mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester),
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734
mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester),
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940
mixed with
a
biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). For more information, contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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
syste m).
The only Diesel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715000


standard.Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could entail an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a
little while.
B20

or B30

fuel that meets the
standard EN16709

can be used with
your Diesel engine. However, the
use of this fuel, even occasional,
requires strict application of the
special servicing conditions referred
to as "Arduous conditions".
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a
par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific sales name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.

f the level is below the MIN mark, you must
top up the engine oil.
To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.

This must be done at the inter vals specified in
the manufacturer's service schedule. Ask for
advice from a


PEUGEOT dealer.

Engine oil grade
When topping up, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid must be changed at
the inter vals stated, according to the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark.
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap and
gauge assembly and check the level.
Use brake fluid recommended by the
manufacturer, meeting the DOT4


standard.
The level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
