Peugeot 208 2012-2019 Owner's Manual Practical information

Practical information154208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016Low fuel levelWhen the low fuel level is reached this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel. There remains approximately 5 litres of fuel in the tank. When the warning lamp flashes, there is very little fuel left.The key cannot be removed from the lock until the cap is refitted.Removing the filler cap may cause an inrush of air. This vacuum is perfectly normal and results from the sealing of the system.Fuel tankFuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres.RefuellingTo fill the tank safely:Fthe engine must be switched off,Fopen the fuel filler flap 1,Finsert the key in the cap 2, then turn it to the left,Fremove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the flap 3,Ffill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut-off of the pump; this could cause malfunctions.With Stop & Start, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the "Running out of fuel - Diesel" section.A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use depending on your engine.Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.1.Open the filler flap.2.Remove the filler cap.3.Hook the filler cap.
7Practical information155208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016When you have filled the tank:Fput the cap back in place,Fturn the key to the right, then remove it from the cap,Fclose the flap.DieselThe start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp accompanied by a warning message in the screen (if a display screen is fitted).On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burnt" smell, which is normal.Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level.Topping-upThis additive must be topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.Diesel additiveA low additive level is indicated by illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the screen (if a display screen is fitted).Fuel supply cut-offYour vehicle is fitted with a safety system that cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an impact.Particle filterIf you have put in the wrong fuel for the engine of your vehicle, you must have the fuel tank drained and filled with the correct fuel before starting the engine.
Practical information156208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016OperationMisfuel preventionIt remains possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank.In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device and pour slowly.Travelling abroadAs Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with misfuel protection, so before travelling abroad, we recommend that you check with the PEUGEOT dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the country in which you intend to travel.On vehicles with Diesel enginesMechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your 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.
7Practical information157208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016Fuel used for petrol enginesThe petrol engines are compatible with E10 bio-petrol (containing 10 % ethanol), conforming to European standards EN 228 and EN 15376.E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must comply with European standard EN 15293.Fuel used for Diesel enginesThe Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels available at the pumps which meet current and future European standards:-Diesel fuel that meets standard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN 14214,-Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),-Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engines. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions". For more information, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).Only the use of Diesel fuel additives that meet the standard B715000 is authorised.
Practical information158208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016Snow chainsThe snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.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.Advice on installationFIf you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.FApply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent movement of your vehicle.FFit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.FMove off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 30 mph (50km/h).FStop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Original tyre sizeMaximum link size.185/65 R159 mm195/55 R16205/45 R177 mmIt 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.
7Practical information159208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016Towing a trailerWe recommend the use of genuine PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.If the towbar is not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care.For more advice on driving when towing, refer to the corresponding section.For more information on weights (and the towed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer to the corresponding section.You must observe the maximum trailer weight, indicated on the registration certificate or in the technical specification for your vehicle.
Practical information160208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016When towingDistribution of loadsFDistribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.For more information on weights (and the towed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer to the corresponding section.Side windFTake into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.CoolingTowing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.FIf the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.BrakingTowing a trailer increases the braking distance.To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.TyresFCheck the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.LightingFCheck the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.For more information on adjusting the headlamp beam height, refer to the corresponding section.The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. Above 1000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10% for every 1000 metres of altitude.FTo lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature.In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.

Practical information180208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016Important: in the event of a top-up after a breakdown because of a lack of additive, signalled by the message "Top up emissions additive: Starting prevented", you must wait around 5minutes before switching on the ignition, without opening the driver's door, locking the vehicle or introducing the key into the ignition switch.Switch on the ignition, then, after 10seconds, start the engine.Keep AdBlue® out of the reach of children, in its original container.Never transfer AdBlue® to another container: it would lose its purity.Never dilute the additive with water.Never pour the additive into the Diesel fuel tank.Never store containers or bottles of AdBlue® in your vehicle.Recommendations on storageThe SCR system includes an AdBlue®tank heater that ensures operation of the vehicle in normal conditions.In exceptional situations, such as when the vehicle is kept at temperatures below -15°C (5°F) for a long period, there may be an emission fault alert related to freezing of the AdBlue®additive.Park the vehicle in an area at a more moderate temperature for a few hours until the additive becomes a liquid again.The emissions warning lamp does not go off immediately, but does so after a few miles of driving.Freezing of the AdBlue®additiveAdBlue® freezes at about -11°C (12.2°F) and deteriorates above 25°C (77°F).It is recommended that containers and bottles be stored in a cool area and protected from direct sunlight.Under these conditions, the additive can be kept for at least a year.Additive that has been frozen can be used once it has thawed out in ambient air.Advice
7Practical information181208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016Textured paintThe textured paint reacts to light with variations of appearance and finish that emphasise the car's lines and form. This paint contains particles that remain visible and create a unique satin effect with relief. Its lightly granulated texture gives it a surprising feel.Straight cut matt paintMaintenance:Observe the following recommendations to avoid damaging the paint finish:-Choose a high pressure wash, or at least a high water delivery; roller brush washing is compatible.-Gently wipe the body with a clean microfibre cloth.-Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the body using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.-Clean off minor marks (for example, finger marks), using the product in the "TECHNATURE" range intended for removing insects.The following recommendations should be taken into account in the care and maintenance of the matt paint. They also appear in the servicing and warranty booklet for the vehicle.-Never clean the vehicle without water.-Never clean your vehicle in an automatic roller-brush car wash.-Never polish the body or the alloy wheels. This makes the paint bright.-Do not use paint restorers, abrasive or polishing products or paint preservers (wax polish, for example) on the paintwork. These products are only suitable for bright finishes. Using them on vehicles finished with matt paint seriously damages the surface finish of the vehicle, resulting in particular in the appearance of irreversible bright or stained areas.-Never use a high pressure jet washer fitted with a brush as this may scratch the paint surface.-Never select a wash programme with a final hot wax cycle.On the other hand:-Do not use a wash programme that includes a final hot wax cycle.-Do not use waterless cleaning.-Never polish the vehicle.-Do not use paint restorers, abrasive or polishing products, or bright paint preservers (wax polish, for example).It is always preferable to have paint repairs carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
