Peugeot 2008 2019-2025 Owner's Manual Practical information

144Practical informationCompatibility of fuelsPetrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol respectively.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".Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940 standard.The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (e.g.pure or diluted vegetable or animal oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk of damaging the engine and fuel system!The only fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 (Petrol) or B715000 (Diesel) standards.Diesel at low temperatureAt temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel 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).Travelling abroadCertain 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.For all additional information, consult a dealer.RefuellingFuel tank capacity: approximately 44 litres (Petrol) or 41 litres (Diesel).Reserve level: approximately 5 litres.Low fuel levelWhen the low fuel level is reached, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message and an audible signal. When it first comes on, about 5 litres of fuel remain.Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp appears every time the ignition is switched on, accompanied by the message and the 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.For more information on Running out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler flap is located on.Stop & StartNever refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition.RefuellingWhen refuelling, at least 5 litres must be added 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 normal, caused by the sealing of the fuel system.To refuel in complete safety:►Always switch off the engine.
145Practical information7►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 your vehicle's engine (see a reminder label on the inside of the filler flap).►Turn the filler cap to the left, remove it and place it on its support (on the fillerflap).►Insert the filler nozzle and push it in as far as possible before starting to refuel (to minimise the risk of splashing).Do not continue after the nozzle’s third cut-out. Doing so may cause malfunctions.►Put the filler cap back in place and turn it to the right.►Close the fuel filler flap.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.The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, which helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.For petrol engines, you must use unleaded fuel.The filler neck is narrower, admitting unleaded petrol nozzles only.Misfuel prevention (Diesel)(Depending on country of sale.)This mechanical device prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device is visible when the filler cap is removed.OperationWhen a petrol filler nozzle is introduced 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 misfuel prevention device does not prevent filling with a jerrycan, regardless of the fuel type.Travelling abroadAs Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.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.Electrified vehicles- General recommendationsThese recommendations and general information concern electrified vehicles of the type: hybrid, rechargeable hybrid and electric.High voltage systemHigh voltage system voltage is dangerous and can cause burns or other injuries or even fatal electric shock.Since damage to high voltage components is not visible, PEUGEOT recommends that you:–Never touch the components, damaged or not, and never let your jewelry or other

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.The fluids must comply with the Manufacturer's requirements and with the vehicle's engine.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).Used productsAvoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.Most of these fluids are harmful to health and very corrosive.Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.Empty used oil into the containers reserved for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Engine oilThe 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).In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emissions control system, never use additives in the engine oil.Checking using the dipstickFor the location of the dipstick, please refer to the illustration of the corresponding engine compartment.►Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull it out completely.►Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-free cloth.►Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to visually check the oil level: the correct level is between marksA (max)andB (min).Do not start the engine if the level is:–above markA: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.–below markB: top up the engine oil immediately.Oil gradeBefore topping up or changing the engine oil, check that the oil is suitable for your engine and complies with the recommendations in the service schedule supplied with the vehicle (or available from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop).
167Practical information7Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate your warranty in the event of engine failure.Topping up the engine oil levelFor the location of the engine oil filler cap, please refer to the corresponding 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.►Top up the level if necessary.►After checking the level, carefully screw the oil filler cap back onand replace the dipstick in its tube.The oil level indication displayed on the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on is not valid for 30 minutes following an addition of oil. Brake fluidThe level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pads for wear.To know how often the brake fluid should be replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.Clean the cap before removing it to refill. Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed container.Engine coolant(Petrol or Diesel)It is normal to top up this fluid between two services.The check and top-up must only be done with the engine cold.A level of coolant that is too low risks causing major damage to the engine; the coolant level must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever going above it.If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark, it is essential to top it up.When the engine is hot, the temperature of the coolant 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.Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up to the required level.Vehicle with electric motorDo not top up the coolant. If the level is close to or below the"MIN"mark, it is essential to contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Screenwash fluidTop up to the required level when necessary.Fluid specificationThe fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed product.In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid containing an anti-freeze agent which is appropriate for the temperature conditions must be used in order to protect the system's components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).Filling with pure water is prohibited in all circumstances (risk of freezing, limescale, etc.).AdBlue® (BlueHDi)An alert is triggered when the reserve level is reached.For more information on the Indicators and in particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to the corresponding section.To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in accordance with regulations, you must top up the AdBlue tank.
168Practical informationFor more information on AdBlue® (BlueHDi), and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to the corresponding section.ChecksUnless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the Manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.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.12V batteryThe battery does not require any maintenance.Check regularly that the terminals are correctly tightened (versions without quick-release terminals) and that the connections are clean.For more information on the precautions to take before any work on the 12V battery, refer to the corresponding section.Versions equipped with Stop & Start are fitted with a 12V lead-acid battery with special technology and specifications.Its replacement should be carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Passenger compartment filterDepending on the environment and the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.A clogged passenger compartment filter can adversely affect air conditioning system performance and generate undesirable odours.Air filterDepending on the environment and the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.Oil filterChange the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.Particle filter (Diesel) / The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an alert message.As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37mph (60km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500rpm, for about 15minutes (until the warning lamp goes out).If it is not possible to reach 37mph (60km/h), leave the engine running at idle for about 15 minutes, then drive with an engine speed above 2,500rpm for 15minutes.Do not switch off the engine until the filter is fully regenerated; repeated intervals can degrade the engine oil prematurely.Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is stationary is not recommended.Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice water vapour coming from the exhaust while accelerating. These emissions have no impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the environment.New vehicleDuring the first few particle filter regeneration operations, you may notice a "burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
169Practical information7Manual gearboxThe gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).Automatic gearboxThe gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).Manual parking brakeIf you notice excessive brake lever travel or decreased effectiveness, the parking brake must be adjusted, even between two services.This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Electric parking brakeThis 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.For more information on the Electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.Brake padsBrake 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.After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and defrost them.Brake disc/drum wearFor any information on checking brake disc/drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Wheels and tyresThe 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 10minutes or more than 6 miles (10kilometres) at over 31 mph (50km/h), add 0.3bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.Under-inflation increases energy consumption. Non-compliant tyre pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's road holding - risk of accident!Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the braking and road holding performance of the vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as the presence of the valve caps.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6mm; replace the tyres as soon as possible.Using different size wheels and tyres from those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer reading and have an adverse effect on road holding.Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles can cause the ESC to mistime.Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres that will be stored when fitting winter or summer tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away from direct exposure to the sun's rays.Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be identified by this symbol on their sidewalls.Shock absorbersIt 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.
170Practical informationTimingand accessory kitsThe timingand 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.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.AdBlue® (BlueHDi)To respect the environment and ensure 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 combines SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.SCR systemUsing a liquid called AdBlue® that contains urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of the 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 15 litres. Its capacity allows a driving range of approximately 4,000miles (6,500km) before an alert,which may vary considerably depending on your driving style.An alert system is triggered once the reserve level is reached: it is then possible to drive for a further 1,500 miles (2,400km) before the tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.For more information on the Warning and indicator lamps and the associated alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the corresponding sections.Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device required by law prevents the engine from being restarted.If the SCR system is faulty, the level of emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts polluting the environment.In the event of a confirmed SCR system malfunction, it is essential to visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible. After 685 miles (1,100 km), a device is automatically activated to prevent the engine from starting.In both cases, a range indicator indicates the distance that can be travelled before the vehicle is immobilised.Freezing of the AdBlue®AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below around -11°C.The SCR system includes a heater for the AdBlue® tank, allowing you to continue driving in very cold conditions.Supply of AdBlue®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 the correct operation of the SCR system:–Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the ISO 22241 standard.–Never transfer AdBlue® to another container as it would lose its purity.–Never dilute AdBlue® with water.You can obtain AdBlue® from a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, as well as service stations equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially designed for passenger vehicles.Recommendations on storageAdBlue® 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.If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has completely thawed out at room temperature.Never store AdBlue® containers in your vehicle.
171Practical information7Precautions for useAdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when kept in a cool place).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).Store AdBlue® out of the reach of children, in its original container.ProcedureBefore 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 the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried out.Never pour the AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel tank.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.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, inserting the key into the ignition switch, or bringing the key for the "Keyless Entry and Start" system into the passenger compartment.Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10 seconds before starting the engine.►Switch off the ignition and remove the key from the switch to switch off the engine.or►With the Keyless Entry and Start system, press the "START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.►Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue®tank anti-clockwise and remove it.►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: insert the nozzle and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts 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.The system only registers AdBlue®intermediate top-ups of 5litres or more.If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty – which is confirmed by the message
172Practical information“Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible” – it is essential to add at least 10litres.Top-up detection may not be instantaneous after addition. It may take a few minutes of driving before the top-up detection is effective.Free-wheelingIn certain situations, it is necessary to put the vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode), rail or sea transport).The procedure varies according to the type of gearbox and parking brake.Never leave the vehicle unattended with the vehicle into free-wheeling mode.Keyless Entry and StartYou must not depress the brake pedal while switching the ignition on again, then switching it off. If you do, the engine will start, requiring you to restart the procedure.With manual or EAT6 automatic gearbox and electric parking brake/To release them►With the engine running and while depressing the brake pedal, move the gear selector to the neutral position.►While depressing the brake pedal, switch off the engine.►Release the brake pedal, then switch on the ignition.►While depressing the brake pedal, press the control to release the parking brake.►Release the brake pedal, then switch off the ignition.Reverting to normal operation►While depressing the brake pedal, restart the engine and apply the parking brake.With EAT8 automatic gearbox and manual parking brake / Release procedure►With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, select modeN and switch off the engine.Within 5seconds:►Switch on the ignition.►While depressing the brake pedal, move the push selector forwards or backwards to confirm mode N.►Switch off the ignition.If the 5-second time limit is exceeded, the gearbox engages mode P; it is then necessary to restart the procedure.Reverting to normal operation►Press buttonPon the selector.With EAT8 automatic gearbox or drive selector and electric parking brake/Release procedure►With the vehicle stationary and the engine running, depress the brake pedal and select modeN.Within 5seconds:►Depress and hold the brake pedal, then observe this order: switch off the engine and move the push selector forwards or backwards.►Release the brake pedal, then switch on the ignition.►Place your foot on the brake and press the electric parking brake control to release it.►Release the brake pedal, then switch off the ignition.
