Compatibility of fuels
7
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol
respectively.
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.
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".
A small arrow by the warning lamp
indicates on which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
Refuelling
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
Fuel tank capacity:
approximately 53 litres
(Petrol or Diesel) or 43 litres
(Rechargeable hybrid).
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).
Fuel tank capacity:
approximately 56 litres.
The only fuel additives authorised for use
are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.

Practical information
To refuel in complete safety:
► You must switch off the engine.
► Insert the filler nozzle and push it in as far as
possible before starting to refuel (to minimise the
risk of splashing).
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.
► Fill the tank.
Do not continue past the 3rd cut-off of the
nozzle; as this may cause malfunctions.
► Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to
the right (depending on version).
Operation
► Push the 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.
► To open the filler flap, press the flap opening
button or press the rear edge of the filler flap
(depending on version).
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
After pressing the button, it may take a
few minutes for the filler flap to open.
If the flap becomes stuck, press and hold the
button for more than 3 seconds.
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.
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.
► Take care to select the pump that delivers the
correct fuel type for the vehicle's engine (see a
reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).
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.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
The use of a fuel jerrycan to fill the tank
remains possible.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on country of sale.)
► Turn the filler cap to the left, remove it
and place it on its support on the filler flap
(depending on version).

without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).
► Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Use only chains designed to be fitted to the type
of wheel fitted to the vehicle:
Secure the load firmly.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine
having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel when the
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended
that you check the level, and top up if necessary,
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
– below mark B: top up the engine oil
immediately.
The fluids must comply with the
manufacturer's requirements and with
the vehicle's engine.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable
for your engine and complies with the
recommendations in the service schedule
supplied with the vehicle (or available
from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even with
the ignition off).
Checking using the dipstick
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
your warranty in the event of engine failure.

The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be
identified by this symbol on their
sidewalls.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is
important to have them regularly checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident!
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles
used in town, over short distances. It may be
necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads
are worn.
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Timing and accessory kits
The timing and accessory kits are used
from the time the engine is started until it
is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over
time.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in
wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is
reached first.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT

stations equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles.

Recommendations on storage
SCR system
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for
at least a year.
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special
tank holding about 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 4,000 miles (6,500 km), which
may vary considerably depending on your
driving style.
An alert system is triggered once the reserve
level is reached: it is then possible to drive for a
further 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the tank is
empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue® tank, allowing you to continue driving
in very cold conditions.
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when
kept in a cool place).
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating
that the reserve level has been reached.
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
– Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
– Never transfer AdBlue® to another container
as it would lose its purity.
– Never dilute AdBlue® with water.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts
polluting the environment.
You can obtain AdBlue® from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop, as well as service
185
Practical information
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
► Press the "START/STOP" button to switch off
the engine.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
– Add between 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue® containers.
– Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
The system only registers AdBlue® top-ups of
5 litres or more.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the
AdBlue® may be frozen and so cannot be poured
into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message
“Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible” – it is
essential to add at least 5 litres.
Never pour the AdBlue® into the Diesel
fuel tank.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, it is necessary to put the
vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on
a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),
rail or sea transport).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a
sponge and hot water.
► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-
clockwise and remove it.
