The key cannot be removed from

the lock until the cap is refi tted.

FUEL TANK

Fuel tank capacity: approximately

50 litres (petrol) or 48 litres (Diesel).

Opening the fi ller cap may create a

noise caused by an inrush of air. This

vacuum is entirely normal, resulting

from the sealing of the fuel system.
To fi ll the tank safely:
) the engine must be switched off,
) open the fuel fi ller fl ap,
) insert the key in the cap, then turn it

to the left,

When you have fi lled the tank:
) put the cap back in place,
) turn the key to the right, then remove

it from the cap,

) close the fl ap.

) remove the cap and hook it onto

the clip located on the inside of the

fl ap,

) fi ll the tank,

but do not continue

after the 3rd cut-off of the pump ;

this could cause malfunctions.

Low fuel level

Filling

When the fuel tank minimum

level is reached this warning

lamp comes on on the instru-

ment panel. When it fi rst comes

on there remains approximately 5 litres

of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to

avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also

to the "Checks" section.

A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap

reminds you of the type of fuel to be

used depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least

5 litres, in order to be taken into account

by the fuel gauge.

Quality of the fuel used for

petrol engines

Quality of the fuel used for

Diesel engines

The petrol engines are perfectly com-

patible 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 ve-

hicles 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).

The Diesel engines are perfectly com-

patible with biofuels which conform to

current and future European standards

(Diesel fuel which complies with stan-

dard 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 cer-

tain Diesel engines; however, this use

is subject to strict application of the

special servicing conditions. Contact a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-

shop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel

(vegetable or animal oils, pure or dilut-

ed, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited

(risk of damage to the engine and fuel

system).

MISFUEL PREVENTION *

Mechanical device which prevents fi ll-

ing the tank of a Diesel vehicle with

petrol. It avoids the risk of engine dam-

age that can result from fi lling with the

wrong fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel

prevention device appears when the

fi ller cap is removed.

Operation

When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced

into the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel

vehicle, it comes into contact with the

fl ap. The system remains closed and

prevents fi lling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel

type fi ller nozzle.

It is still possible to use a fuel can

to fi ll the reservoir.
In order to ensure a good fl ow of fuel,

do not place the nozzle of the fuel

can in direct contact with the fl ap of

the misfuel prevention device.

Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be

different in other countries, the pres-

ence of the misfuel prevention device

may make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we rec-

ommend 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.

* According to destination country.

Main lighting

The vehicle's various front and rear

lamps are designed to adapt the driver's

visibility gradually in relation to the cli-

matic conditions:
-

sidelamps, to be seen,

- dipped beam headlamps to see

without dazzling other drivers,

-

main beam headlamps for good vis-

ibility when the road is clear.

Additional lighting

Other lamps are installed to respond to

particular driving conditions:
-

rear foglamps to be seen from a dis-

tance,

-

front foglamps for even better visibility.

with the ignition off.
In this case, switching off the light-

ing will stop the audible signal.
When the ignition is switched off, if

the dipped headlamps remain on,

they will be switched off automati-

cally after thirty minutes to prevent

discharging of the battery.

VISIBILITY

In fog or snow, the sunshine sen-

sor may detect suffi cient light.

Therefore, the lighting will not

come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sen-

sor, coupled with the rain sensor

and located in the centre of the

windscreen behind the rear view

mirror; the associated functions

would no longer be controlled.

Coupling with the "Guide-me-home"

lighting
Association with the automatic illumination of

headlamps provides the "guide-me-home"

lighting with the following additional options:
-

selection of the lighting duration to 15, 30

or 60 seconds in the vehicle parameters

in the multifunction screen confi guration

menu,

-

automatic activation of "guide-me-home"

lighting when automatic illumination of

headlamps is in operation.

Automatic illumination

of headlamps

lamps are switched on automatically,

without any action on the part of the

driver, when a low level of external light

is detected (sensor behind the rear view

mirror) or when the windscreen wipers

are switched on.
As soon as the brightness returns to a

suffi cient level or after the windscreen

wipers are switched off, the lighting is

switched off automatically.

"Guide-me-home" lighting

The dipped headlamps remain on tem-

porarily, after switching off the vehicle's

ignition, to make the driver's exit easier

in poor light.

Activation

CHILD SAFETY

90

PEUGEOT recommends that

children should travel in the rear

seats of your vehicle:
-

"rearwards-facing" up to the

age of 2,

-

"forwards-facing" over the

age of 2.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is

installed on the front passenger seat ,

it is essential that the passenger airbag

is deactivated. Otherwise,

the child

would risk being seriously injured or

killed if the airbag were to infl ate .

* The rules for carrying children are

specifi c to each country. Refer to the

current legislation in your country.

Although one of PEUGEOT's main cri-

teria when designing your vehicle, the

safety of your children also depends on

you.
For maximum safety, please observe

the following recommendations:
- in accordance with European

regulations, all children under the

age of 12 or less than one and a

half metres tall must travel in ap-

proved child seats suited to their

weight , on seats fi tted with a seat

belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

-

statistically, the safest seats in

your vehicle for carrying children

are the rear seats,

-

a child weighing less than 9 kg

must travel in the "rearwards-

facing" position both in the front

and in the rear.

Intermediate longitudinal

position

"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is

installed on the front passenger seat ,

adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-

diate longitudinal position with the seat

back upright and leave the passenger

airbag activated.

Passenger airbag OFF

Refer to the advice given on the label present

on both sides of the sun visor(s):

CAUTION
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
DO NOT install a child seat facing rearwards on the front seat, which is fi tted

with an airbag.
