Access

Your vehicle is fitted with a tinted glass
panoramic sunroof which increases the light
and visibility in the passenger compartment. Its
electric blind helps control the temperature and
noise level in the passenger compartment.

The blind is controlled electrically by a rotary
opening dial.

Opening

Turn the dial to the left (several possible
opening settings).

Safety anti-pinch

If the blind encounters an obstacle during
closing, it stops and partially opens again to the
2nd position.
If the blind fails to close at a second attempt,
it may be necessary to force the closing of the
blind using the reinitialisation procedure.

Closing

Return the dial to the initial position.
If the position of the blind does not agree with
the position indicated by the dial, press the dial
to open the blind to this position.

Electric blind

In the event of contact during operation
of the blind, you must reverse its
movement. To do this, turn the dial.
When the driver operates the dial, they
must ensure that nothing prevents the
blind from closing correctly.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the blind correctly.
Be aware of children during operation
of the blind.

Reinitialising the system

Following reconnection of the battery, or in the
event of a malfunction in its operation, it may be
necessary to reinitialise the system:
)

turn the dial to the fully open position,

)

wait until the blind is fully open,

)

then

immediately press the dial for at least

3 seconds,

If the blind opens on its own when closing, as
soon as possible after the blind stops:
-

put the dial in the fully closed position,

-

press the dial,

-

maintain pressure on the dial until the blind
closes.

The anti-pinch function is inoperative
during these operations.

Fuel tank

Capacity of the tank: approximately 72 litres (or 55 litres according to version).

Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of
air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results
from the sealing of the fuel system.
)

Take care to select the pump that delivers

the correct fuel type for your vehicle's
engine (reminder on a label on the inside of
the filler flap).

)

Open the filler cap by turning it a 1/4 turn to

the left.

)

Remove

the

filler cap and hang it on its

carrier (on the filler flap).

Opening

If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you start the
engine.

With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch
off the ignition with the key.

- Press the switch.

This control remains active for a few
minutes after switching off the ignition. If
necessary, switch the ignition on again to
reactivate it.

Refuelling

)

Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully
(pushing on the the metal non-return valve A ).

A

A

)

Fill the tank. Do not continue past the third
cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause
malfunctions.

)

Refit the filler cap turning it a 1/4 turn to the
right.

)

Push the filler flap to close it.

Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
For petrol engines, you must use unleaded
fuel only.
The filler neck is narrower, admitting petrol
nozzles only.

Access

Low fuel level

When the low fuel level in the
tank is reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message in the instrument

panel screen.
When it first comes on, around 7 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.

Fuel supply cut-off

Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.

It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank but this must be done slowly.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device.

Diesel misfuel prevention

Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.

When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.

Operation

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, we recommend that
you check with the PEUGEOT dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want to
travel.
