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.

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.  
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).  
► Turn the filler cap to the left.  
Operation  
Hybrid system  
► Remove the filler cap and hang it on its  
carrier (on the filler flap).  
Electrical system  
The electrical system of the hybrid system is  
identified by orange cables and its elements are  
marked with this symbol:  
► Introduce the filler nozzle and push it in as  
far as possible before starting to refuel (risk of  
blowback).  
► Fill the tank.  
Do not continue past the third cut-off of the  
nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions.  
► Refit the filler cap.  
► Turn it to the right.  
► Push the filler flap to close it.  
The hybrid engine uses a voltage of  
between 240 V and 400 V. This system  
may be hot during and after switching off the
