Get Practical information Guide for Peugeot 108 4 Door 2014-2022

Practical information

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.

Fuel tank

The capacity of the tank is about 35 litres.

Low fuel level

When the fuel in the tank reaches

a low level, this warning lamp

comes on in the instrument panel,

accompanied by an audible warning.

F Unscrew the cap and place it on its support

(on the flap).

F Introduce the filler nozzle and push it in as

far as possible before starting to refuel (risk

of blowback).

The message "LO FUEL" is displayed instead

of the range.

You have about 5 litres of fuel left.

In certain driving conditions and depending on

the engine in your vehicle, your range may be

less than 30 miles (50 km).

F Keep it in this position during the whole

filling operation.

To refuel in complete safety:

F You must stop the engine and turn off

the ignition (switch to LOCK or OFF

mode).

F Pull the control on the lower part of the

dashboard, driver's side, to unlock the fuel

filler flap.

Once you have finished refuelling:

F Screw the cap back on again until you hear

a click. When you release the cap, it will

turn slightly in the opposite direction.

F Push the fuel flap to close it.

If you run out of fuel, the emission

control warning lamp may come on

in the instrument panel. It will go out

automatically after several engine starts.

When filling the tank, do not continue

beyond the 3^rdcut off of the nozzle; this

could cause malfunctions.

Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,

which helps to reduce the level of harmful

emissions in the exhaust gases.

F Open the fuel filler flap.

Refuelling

Refuelling must be done with the engine and

ignition off (ignition switch to "LOCK" or

"OFF").

The filler neck is narrower, allowing only

unleaded petrol nozzles to be introduced.

A label inside the fuel flap reminds you of the

type of fuel to use.

Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in

order to be registered by the fuel gauge.

Practical information

Compatibility of fuels

Snow chains

It is strongly recommended that before

you leave, you practise fitting the snow

chains on a level and dry surface.

In wintry conditions, snow chains

improve traction as well as the

behaviour of the vehicle when

braking.

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.

Snow chains must be fitted only to the

front wheels. They must never be fitted to

"space-saver" type spare wheels.

Fuel used for petrol engines

The petrol engines are compatible with biofuels

that conform to current and future European

standards and which can be obtained from

filling stations:

Take account of the legislation in force in

your country on the use of snow chains

and the maximum authorised speed.

Only use the chains designed to be fitted to the

type of wheels fitted to your vehicle:

Petrol that meets standard EN228,

mixed with a biofuel that meets

standard EN15376.

Original tyre size

Maximum link size

9 mm

Installation tips

The only petrol additives authorised

for use are those that meet the

B715001 standard.

F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,

stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side

of the road.

165/65 R14

165/60 R15

7

F Apply the parking brake and position any

wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent

movement of your vehicle.

F Fit the chains following the instructions

provided by the manufacturer.

F Move off gently and drive for a few

moments, without exceeding 31 mph

(50 km/h).

F Stop your vehicle and check that the snow

chains are correctly tightened.

Travelling abroad

For more information on snow chains,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Certain fuels could damage the engine of

your vehicle.

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.

When you drive with snow chains, you

should deactivate the lane departure

warning system.

For any additional information, contact a dealer.

97

Practical information

Maximum authorised weight on the roof

bars, with a loading height not exceeding

40 cm (except bicycle carriers): 40 kg.

If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the

speed of the vehicle to the profile of the

road to avoid damaging the roof bars.

Energy economy mode

Let the engine run for the duration

specified to ensure that the battery charge

is sufficient.

Do not repeatedly and continuously restart

the engine in order to charge the battery.

A flat battery prevents the engine from

starting.

(Only for vehicles equipped with the Keyless

Entry and Starting system.)

System which manages the duration of use of

certain functions to conserve a sufficient level

of charge in the battery.

After the engine has stopped, you can still

use functions such as the audio system,

windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps,

courtesy lamps, etc. for a max. combined time

of 20 minutes.

For more information on the 12 V battery,

refer to the corresponding section.

Please refer to national legislation

to comply with the regulations for

transporting objects that are longer than

the vehicle.

This period may be greatly reduced if the

battery is not fully charged.

Fitting roof bars

Bonnet

Entry into the mode

Once this time has elapsed, the active

functions are put on standby.

or the fusebox, unclip the plastic cover,

located at the base of the windscreen, by

pressing the two tabs.

Engine compartment

Do not open the bonnet under very windy

conditions.

When the engine is hot, handle the

exterior safety catch and the stay with

care (risk of burns).

Checking levels

Check all of these levels regularly, in line with

the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them

up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.

If a level drops significantly, have the

corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

The cooling fan may start after

switching off the engine: take care

with articles and clothing that might be

caught by the fan blades.

7

Because of the presence of electrical

equipment under the bonnet, it is

recommended that exposure to water

(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.

The liquid must comply with the

manufacturer's recommendations and with

the vehicle's engine.

99

Practical information

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).

To ensure that the reading is correct, your

vehicle must be parked on a level surface

with the engine stopped for more than

30 minutes.

A = MAX

B = MIN

It is normal to top up the oil level between

two services (or oil changes). PEUGEOT

recommends that you check the level, and top

up, if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).

Used products

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or

fluids with the skin.

Most of these fluids are harmful to health

or indeed very corrosive.

Checking using the dipstick

If you find that the level is above the A mark or

below the B mark, do not start the engine.

The location of the dipstick is shown in the

corresponding underbonnet layout view.

F Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and

pull it out completely.

F Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean

non-fluffy cloth.

F Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then

pull it out again to make the visual check:

the correct level is between marks A and B.

-

If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of

damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Do not discard used oil or fluids into

sewers or onto the ground.

Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualified workshop and dispose

of in the containers reserved for this

purpose.

-

If the level is below the MIN mark, you must

top up the engine oil.

Oil grade

Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,

check that the oil is the correct grade for your

engine and conforms to the manufacturer's

recommendations.

Engine oil level

The check is carried out either

using the oil level indicator on the

instrument panel when the ignition is

switched on, for vehicles equipped

with an electric gauge, or using the

dipstick.

100

Practical information

The check and top up must only be done with

the engine cold.

A low coolant level presents a risk of serious

damage to your engine.

Topping up the engine oil level

Access to the tank

The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the

corresponding underbonnet layout view.

F Unscrew the oil filler cap to access the filler

opening.

F Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any

spills on engine components (risk of fire).

F Wait a few minutes before checking the

level again using the dipstick.

When the engine is hot, the temperature of the

coolant is regulated by the fan.

In addition, as the cooling system is

pressurised, wait at least one hour after

switching off the engine before carrying out any

work.

To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap

two turns to release the pressure. After it has

dropped, remove the cap and top up.

F Add more oil if necessary.

F After checking the level, carefully refit the oil

filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.

F Unclip the plastic cover, located at the

bottom of the windscreen, by pressing on

both tabs.

The cooling fan may start after

switching off the engine: take care

with articles and clothing that might be

caught by the fan blades.

Engine oil change

In order to maintain the reliability of the engine

and emissions control system, never use

additives in the engine oil.

When you unclip the plastic cover, make

sure not to remove the seal.

Fluid speciﬁcations

These fluids must conform to the

manufacturer's recommendations.

Fluid speciﬁcation

7

This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's

recommendations.

Brake fluid level

Screenwash fluid level

The fluid level should be close to the

"MAX" mark. If it is not, check the

brake pad wear.

Top up to the required level when

necessary.

Coolant level

The level of this fluid must be

between the marks "FULL" or "F"

and "LOW" or "L".

101

Practical information

Fluid speciﬁcation

The screenwash fluid must be topped up with

a ready for use mix.

In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with

antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for

the prevailing conditions, in order to preserve

the elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts,

etc.).

Filling with pure water is prohibited under all

circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone

deposits, etc.).

A clogged passenger compartment

filter may have an adverse effect on

the performance of the air conditioning

system and generate undesirable odours.

Versions equipped with Stop & Start are

fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of

specific technology and specification.

Its replacement should be carried out

only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Oil filter

Change the oil filter each time the

engine oil is changed.

Checks

Manual gearbox

Air filter

Unless otherwise indicated, check these

components in accordance with the

manufacturer's service schedule.

The gearbox does not require any

maintenance (no oil change).

Depending on the environment

(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the

use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),

replace it twice as often if

necessary.

Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Clutch

The clutch is mechanically operated and

requires regular adjustment.

12 V battery

The battery does not require any

maintenance.

However, check regularly that the

terminals are correctly tightened

(versions without quick release terminals)

and that the connections are clean.

Passenger compartment

filter

If there is a malfunction (for example,

difficulty in pulling away), contact

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Depending on the environment

(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the

use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),

replace it twice as often if

necessary.

For more information on the precautions

to take before starting work on the 12 V

battery, refer to the corresponding

section.

102

Practical information

Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces

braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's

steering. Regular inspections of the condition

of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are

recommended as well as making sure that

valves are fitted.

Using different size wheels and tyres from

those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,

wheel rotation, ground clearance and the

speedometer reading and have an adverse

effect on road holding.

ETG gearbox

Parking brake

The ETG gearbox does not require

any maintenance (no oil change).

If excessive travel or a loss of

effectiveness of this system is

noticed, the parking brake must

be checked, even between two

services.

This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.

Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles

can cause the ESC to mistime.

Wheels and tyres

The pressure must be checked on

all tyres, including the spare wheel,

when the tyres are "cold", at least

once a month and before a long

journey.

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in

the brake fluid level indicates that the brake

pads are worn.

Only use products recommended by

PEUGEOT or products of equivalent

quality and specification.

In order to optimise the operation of

components as important as those in the

braking system, PEUGEOT selects and

offers very specific products.

After washing the vehicle, dampness, or

in wintry conditions, ice can form on the

brake discs and pads: braking efficiency

may be reduced. Make light brake

applications to dry and defrost the brakes.

The pressures given 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 more than 31 mph (50 km/h),

0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values

given on the label.

Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.

Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature

wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the

vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!

For information on checking

brake disc/drum wear, contact

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.
