Practical information  
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).  
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.  
Compatibility of fuels  
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".  
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.  
For all additional information, consult a dealer.  
Refuelling  
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940  
standard.  
Refuelling  
Additions of fuel must be of at least 10 litres, in  
order to be registered by the fuel gauge.  
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused  
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely  
normal, resulting from the sealing of the fuel  
system.  
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).  
Fuel tank capacity:  
approximately 53 litres (Diesel  
or petrol) or 42 litres (Hybrid).  
Fuel tank capacity:  
approximately 56 litres.  
To refuel in complete safety:  
► You must switch off the engine.  
The only fuel additives authorised for use  
are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)  
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.  
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.  
Low fuel level  
When the low fuel level is reached, this  
warning lamp comes on on the instrument  
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message

Practical information  
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 inserted into the  
fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into  
contact with the flap. The system remains closed  
and prevents filling.  
7
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type  
filler nozzle.  
The 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.  
It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan  
to fill the tank.  
The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded  
petrol nozzles only.  
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.)  
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.  
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.  
► With the vehicle unlocked, press the rear-  
central part of the filler flap to open it.

traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle  
when braking.  
► 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).  
177  
Practical information  
► Stop the vehicle and check that the snow  
chains are correctly tightened.  
Fitting  
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 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.  
For fitting / removing, it is recommended  
that you contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
► Hold the corresponding screen in front of the  
lower grille of the bumper.  
Before any operation, ensure that the

Empty used oil into the containers reserved  
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
All work on this circuit must be carried out  
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
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  
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,  
then pull it out again to visually check the oil  
level: the correct level is between marks A (max)  
and B (min).  
Do not start the engine if the level is:  
– above mark A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or  
a qualified workshop.  
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).  
The fluids must comply with the  
manufacturer's requirements and with  
the vehicle's engine.  
– below mark B: top up the engine oil  
immediately.  
Oil grade  
Before topping up or changing the engine  
oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine  
and complies with the recommendations in  
the service schedule supplied with the vehicle  
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

For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please  
refer to the corresponding under-bonnet engine  
compartment illustration.  
► Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills  
on engine components (risk of fire).  
► Wait a few minutes before checking the level  
again using the dipstick.  
The check and top-up must only be done with  
the engine cold.  
A low level presents a risk of serious damage to  
the engine.  
The level of this fluid should be close to the  
"MAX" mark but should never exceed it.  
If the level is close to or below the "MIN” mark, it  
is essential to top up.  
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this  
fluid is regulated by the fan.  
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at  
least one hour after switching off the engine  
before carrying out any work.  
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need  
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around  
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to  
allow the pressure to drop.  
Filling with pure water is prohibited under  
all circumstances (risk of freezing,  
limestone deposits, etc.).  
► Top up the level if necessary.  
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel  
with particle filter)  
On reaching the minimum level in the  
particle filter additive tank, this warning  
lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an  
audible warning and a message warning that the  
additive level is too low.  
► After checking the level, carefully screw the  
oil filler cap back on and replace the dipstick in  
its tube.  
Within 30 minutes of adding oil, the oil  
level indication in the instrument panel  
when the ignition is switched on is not valid.  
Topping up  
This additive must be topped up without delay by  
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Brake fluid  
The level of this fluid should be close to  
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake  
pad wear.  
To know how often the brake fluid should be  
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing  
schedule.  
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap  
and top up to the required level.

Wheels and tyres  
The inflation pressure of all tyres,  
including the spare wheel, must be  
checked on "cold” tyres.  
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.  
This system does not require any routine  
servicing. However, in the event of a  
problem, do not hesitate to have the system  
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
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.  
For more information on the Electric  
parking brake, refer to the  
corresponding section.  
Timing and accessory kits  
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!  
Brake pads  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the  
braking and road holding performance of the  
vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the  
condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and  
wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.  
When the wear indicators no longer appear set

Supply of AdBlue®  
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)  
for a further 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the  
tank is empty and the vehicle disabled.  
7
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.  
For more information on the Warning  
and indicator lamps and the associated  
alerts, or the Indicators, refer to the  
corresponding sections.  
In order to ensure that the SCR system  
operates correctly:  
– Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the ISO  
22241 standard.  
– Never transfer AdBlue® to another  
container: it would lose its purity.  
– Never dilute AdBlue® with water.  
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a  
system required by regulations prevents  
starting of the engine.  
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of  
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet  
the Euro 6 standard: the vehicle becomes  
polluting.  
To respect the environment and ensure  
AdBlue® can be obtained from a PEUGEOT  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without  
adversely affecting the performance or fuel  
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT  
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles  
with a system that associates SCR (Selective  
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter  
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.  
In the event of a confirmed fault with the SCR  
system, you must go to a PEUGEOT dealer  
or a qualified workshop as soon as possible:  
after travelling a distance of 685 miles  
(1,100 km), a system will be triggered  
automatically to prevent engine starting.  
In either case, a range indicator gives the  
distance that can be travelled before the  
vehicle is immobilised.  
You can also visit a service station  
equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially  
designed for passenger vehicles.  
Storage recommendations  
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.  
SCR system  
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains urea,  
a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of 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.  
Freezing of the AdBlue®  
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below  
around -11°C.  
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has  
completely thawed out in the ambient air.  
Its capacity allows a driving range of  
approximately 5,600 miles (9,000 km), highly  
dependent on your driving style.  
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.  
An alert system is triggered automatically once  
the reserve level is reached: you can then drive  
185  
Practical information  
Precautions for use  
Never put the AdBlue® into the Diesel  
fuel tank.  
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is  
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when  
kept in a cool place).  
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.  
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).  
Important: in the event of a top-up after  
a breakdown because of a lack of  
AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5  
minutes before switching on the ignition,  
without opening the driver’s door,  
unlocking the vehicle, introducing the key  
into the ignition switch, or introducing the  
key of the “Keyless Entry and Starting”  
system into the passenger compartment.  
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10  
seconds before starting the engine.  
► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-  
clockwise and remove it.  
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of  
children, in its original container.  
► With a container of AdBlue®: after checking  
the expiry date, read the instructions on the  
label carefully before pouring the contents of the  
container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.  
► With an AdBlue® pump: introduce the nozzle  
and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically  
cuts out.  
► Switch off the ignition and remove the key  
from the switch to switch off the engine.  
or  
► With Keyless Entry and Starting, press the  
"START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.  
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 its tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area  
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried  
out.  
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.  
186  
Practical information  
Keyless Entry and Starting  
You must not depress the brake pedal

Practical information  
Promptly clean up any stains containing  
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint  
(including tree resin, bird droppings, insect  
secretions, pollen and tar).  
If justified by the environment, clean the  
vehicle more frequently to remove salty  
deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial  
estates) and mud (in wet or cold areas).  
These substances can be highly corrosive.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop if you require advice on removing  
stubborn stains requiring special products  
(such as tar or insect removers).  
Never select the programme with hot wax  
finish.  
Bodywork  
High-gloss paint  
Never use high-pressure lances equipped  
with brushes - risk of scratching paint!  
Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to  
the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products  
irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.  
Do not use abrasive products or  
solvents, petrol or oil to clean the  
bodywork.  
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean  
stubborn stains. Risk of scratching the  
paintwork!  
Choose high-pressure wash, or at least  
high-flow water jet.  
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.  
Only a clean microfibre cloth is recommended  
for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle  
without rubbing.  
Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the  
bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.  
Clean off minor marks (for example, finger  
marks), using a maintenance product  
recommended by PEUGEOT.  
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to  
plastic or rubber parts.  
Use a soft sponge and soapy water or a  
pH neutral product.  
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean  
microfibre cloth.  
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.  
Comply with the instructions for use stated on  
the product.  
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed  
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
Interior  
When washing the vehicle, never use a  
water hose or high-pressure washer to  
clean the interior.  
Liquids carried in cups or other open  
containers can spill, presenting a risk of  
damage if they come into contact with the  
controls in the dashboard and centre console.  
Take care!  
Decals  
Textured paint  
(Depending on version)  
This type of paint reacts under the effect of  
light, through variations in appearance and  
finish that highlight the lines and contours of the  
vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that  
remain visible and create a unique satin effect  
with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a  
surprising touch.  
Do not use a high pressure washer to  
clean the vehicle. Risk of damaging or  
detaching the decals!  
Use a high-flow hose at a temperature  
between 25°C and 40°C.  
Sweep the jet of water across the surface to  
be cleaned, perpendicular to it.  
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.  
Never attempt to clean without water.  
Never clean your vehicle in an automatic  
roller-brush car wash.

Practical information  
Leather  
7
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate regular  
care is essential for its durability.  
It must be protected and nourished using a  
specific leather product, to keep it supple and  
preserve its original appearance.  
Do not clean leather using unsuitable  
cleaning agents such as solvents,  
detergents, petrol or pure alcohol.  
When cleaning items partly made from  
leather, take care not to damage the other  
materials with the specific leather product.  
Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids,  
quickly mop up any surplus.  
Before cleaning, wipe off any residues liable  
to scuff the leather, using a cloth that has  
been dampened with demineralised water  
and thoroughly wrung out.  
Clean leather using a soft cloth moistened  
with soapy water or a pH-neutral product.  
Dry with a soft, dry cloth.
