Peugeot 208 2020-2025 Practical information Refuelling

136Practical 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 40 or 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.
137Practical 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.Charging system (Electric)400V electrical systemThe electrical traction system, which operates at a voltage of approximately 400 V, is identified by orange cables, and its components are marked with this symbol:An electric vehicle’s power train can become hot during use and after switching off the ignition.Observe the warning messages shown on labels, particularly inside the flap.
