manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a trailer is displayed 
at the rear of the image of the vehicle.
Operating limits
If the boot is heavily loaded, the vehicle may tilt, 
affecting distance measurements.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction when 
changing into reverse, this warning lamp 
comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied 
by an onscreen message and an audible signal 
(short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
Reversing camera
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
With the ignition on, this system uses a camera 
located near the third brake lamp to display 
a view of the rear of your vehicle on the 
reproduction screen (if it is a panel van or has a 
solid partition).
The reversing camera is activated automatically 
when reverse gear is engaged. The image 
is displayed on the reproduction screen. The 
reproduction screen switches off when the 
gearbox is in neutral or in a forward gear.
 
 
 
 
The blue lines  1 represent the general direction 
of the vehicle (the gap corresponds to the width 
of your vehicle with the mirrors).
The red line  2 represents a distance of about 
30
  cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear 
bumper.
The green lines  3 represent distances of about 1 
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's 
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue curves  4 represent the 
maximum turning circle.
Some objects may not be seen by the 
camera.
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see 
(dark colours, lamps off) when the 
brightness of the screen is reduced using the 
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the  surroundings, the exterior conditions 
(rain, dirt, dust), the driving mode and the 
lighting conditions (night, low sun).
In the presence of areas in shade, or in 
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate 
lighting, the image may be darkened and with 
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than 
they actually are.
During parking manoeuvres and lane 
changes, it is important to check the sides of 
the vehicle using the mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also supplement the 
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted (or even 
damaged) and not work in the following 
situations:
–
 
Installation of a bicycle carrier on the tailgate 
or side-hinged door (depending on version).
–
 
Attachment of a trailer to the towball.
–
 
Driving with a door open.
Please note, the camera must not be 
obscured (by a sticker, a bicycle carrier, 
etc.).

The field of vision of the camera may vary depending on the load in vehicle.
Maintenance 
recommendations
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the camera 
is not covered by mud, frost or snow.
Check the cleanliness of the camera lens 
regularly.
If necessary, clean the camera with a soft, dry 
cloth.
When washing the vehicle using a high-pressure 
jet, keep the spray directed at least 30
  cm away 
from the camera.
Surround Rear Vision
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
With the ignition on, in order to improve visibility 
of the passenger side blind spot and the rear 
of the vehicle, this system uses two cameras 
to display the views of the vehicle’s close 
surroundings on the reproduction screen (panel 
van or fitted with a solid partition).
This system has three sub-functions:
 
 
 
 
– Passenger side view : shows the area at the 
passenger side of the vehicle.
The orange line  1 represents a distance of 5
  m 
from the rear bumper.
 
 
 
 
– Surveillance rear view : shows a long-
distance view of the area at the rear.
The orange line  1 represents a distance of 5
  m 
from the rear bumper.

6The blue dimension lines 1 represent the width 
of your vehicle with the mirrors unfolded.
The red line  2 represents a distance of 30
  cm 
from the rear bumper; the two green lines  3 and 
4 represent 1
  m and 2   m, respectively.
The blue curves  5 appear successively; they 
are based on the position of the steering wheel 
and represent the turning circle radius of your 
vehicle.
The orange dashes  6 represent the opening radii 
of the rear doors.
Please routinely check your exterior 
mirrors while driving and during 
manoeuvres.
Some items may not be seen by the rear 
camera.
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see 
(dark colours, lamps off) when the 
brightness of the screen is reduced using the 
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the  environment, the exterior conditions 
(rain, dirt, dust), the driving mode and the 
lighting conditions (night, low sun).
In the presence of areas in shade, or in 
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate 
lighting, the image may be darkened and with 
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than 
they actually are.
During parking manoeuvres and lane 
changes, it is important to check the sides of 
the vehicle using the mirrors.

Practical information
Compatibility of fuels  
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard 
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol 
respectively.
  
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734 
and EN16709 standards and containing up to 
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester 
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even 
occasionally, imposes special maintenance 
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
  
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940 
standard.
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 system).
The only fuel additives authorised for use  are those that meet the B715001 (petrol) 
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 61 litres 
(petrol) or 50 litres (Diesel).
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.
Low fuel level
/2 
1 1When the low fuel level is reached, 
this warning lamp comes on on the 
instrument panel, accompanied by an onscreen 
message and an audible signal. When it first 
comes on, about 6 litres of fuel remain in the 
tank.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp 
appears every time the ignition is switched on, 
accompanied by an onscreen message and 
an 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.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP 
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
At least 10 litres of fuel must be added, in order 
to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused 
by an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and 
results from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►
 
Always switch off the engine.
►
 
Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry 
and Starting.
►
 
Open the fuel filler flap.

► With a conventional key, insert the key into 
the filler cap, then turn the key to the left.
 
 
► Unscrew and remove the filler cap, then 
place it on the holder located on the fuel filler 
flap.
►
 
Insert the nozzle and push it in fully (while 
pushing on the metal valve  A
).
►
 
Fill the tank. Do not continue past the 
third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause 
malfunctions.
► Put the filler cap back in place and close it by 
turning to the right.
►
 
Push the fuel filler flap to close it (your 
vehicle must be unlocked).
 
 
 
 
If the vehicle is equipped with a sliding 
door on its left-hand side, do not open it 
while the fuel filler flap is open. Otherwise, 
there is a risk that the fuel filler flap and the 
sliding door may be damaged and the person 
filling up may be injured.
 
 
If the fuel filler flap is open, a device 
prevents the left-hand side door from 
opening.
The door can be opened half-way, however.
Close the fuel filler flap to regain use of the 
door.
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, 
which helps to reduce the level of harmful 
emissions in the exhaust gases.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for 
your vehicle, you must have the fuel 
tank drained and filled with the correct fuel 
before starting the engine.
Fuel cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that 
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an 
impact.
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 appears when the filler cap is removed.

Operation 
 
When a petrol filler nozzle is inserted 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.
It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan 
to fill the tank.
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.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve 
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle 
when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only to  the front wheels. They must never be 
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation specific to  each country on the use of snow chains 
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
► If you have to fit the chains during a journey , 
stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of 
the road.
►
 
Apply the parking brake and position any 
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent 
movement of your vehicle.
►
 
Fit the chains following the instructions 
provided by the manufacturer
.
►
 
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, 
without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).
►
 
Stop your vehicle and check that the snow 
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before 
you leave, you practise fitting the snow 
chains on a level and dry surface.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads  that have been cleared of snow to avoid 
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road 
surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy 
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its 
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the 
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size  (mm)
195/65 R15 9
205/60 R16
205/55 R17
215/65 R16
215/60 R17 cannot be fitted with 
chains
You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Towing device
Load distribution
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to 
the axle and the nose weight approaches the 
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing 
engine performance. 
The maximum towed load    
Page 139 of 260

137
Practical information
7must be reduced by 10 % for every 1,000 metres 
of altitude.
Use towing devices and their unmodified 
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It is 
recommended that the installation be 
performed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by a 
PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be fitted in 
accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's 
instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring 
assistance functions are automatically 
disabled if an approved towbar is used.
Observe the maximum authorised 
towable weight, indicated on your 
vehicle's registration certificate, the 
manufacturer's label as well as in the 
Technical data section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised 
nose weight (towball) also includes the 
use of accessories (bicycle carriers, tow 
boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the 
country in which you are driving.

Remove the quickly detachable towball 
when not towing a trailer.
Overload indicator 
 
The overload indicator is a driving aid and 
informs you that the maximum authorised 
weight has been exceeded; this may be either 
the gross vehicle weight (GVW) or the maximum 
authorised weight on either axle (front and rear) 
(GAWR).
The indicator does not relieve the user  from their responsibility.
Even if you correctly measure the weight 
of the vehicle's load, any factor that may 
vary this weight (driver/additional passengers 
seated or taking on additional fuel) after the 
measurement may put the vehicle into the 
overload condition.
 
 
The load includes the weight of the items  stored in the loading area (including any 
fittings such as shelves), but also the weight 
of all persons on board the vehicle, the 
amount of fuel and various equipment fitted 
on the vehicle.
For optimal performance, the vehicle must 
be parked and loaded on level ground (avoid 
the following conditions: parking on a slope or 
straddling a pavement).
Attaching a trailer to your vehicle may  affect the operation of the system.
