FILLING WITH FUEL

Low fuel level


Filling
The fuel tank must be fi lled with the
engine off
.


- Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.

- Insert the key, then turn it a quarter
turn.

- Remove the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of
the fl ap.


When fi lling with fuel, with the fuel
fi ller fl ap open, ensure that no one
attempts to open the sliding side
door. When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
light comes on.
You then have approximately 8 litres

of fuel remaining. Fill up without delay
to avoid running out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out
of fuel as this may damage the
antipollution and injection systems.











Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fi ll with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel fi ller cap is opened,
there may be a slight air suction noise.
This vacuum is entirely normal and is
due to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When fi lling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3 rd cut-off of the
nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.


- After fi lling the fuel tank, lock the
cap and close the fl ap.

The petrol engines are perfectly
compatible with E10 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles 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).

FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED

In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.
The fl ashing of this warning
light is accompanied by a
message on the display.
Check that there is no odour or
leakage of fuel outside the vehicle and
re-establish the fuel supply:


- switch off the ignition (STOP position),

- remove the key,

- put the key back in the ignition,

- switch on the ignition and start.

DIESEL REPRIMING PUMP

If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit:


- fi ll the fuel tank with at least
fi ve litres of diesel,

- squeeze and release the manual
re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover,

- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet"
section of chapter 6.











Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly
compatible with biofuels which conform
to current and future European
standards (Diesel fuel which complies
with standard EN 590 mixed with a
biofuel which complies with standard
EN 14214) available at the pumps
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or
diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly
prohibited (risk of damage to the
engine and fuel system).
