When the lamp first comes on, there is approximately6 litres of fuel remaining.Until sufficient fuel has been added, this warning lamp appears every time the ignition is switched on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message. When driving, this audible signal and message are repeated with increasing frequency, as the fuel level drops towards "0".Capacity of the tank: approximately 60 litres.The key cannot be removed from the lock until the cap is put back on the tank.Opening the cap may trigger an inrush of air. This vacuum, which is completely normal, is caused by the sealing of the fuel system.You must refuel to avoid running out of fuel.If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the "Checks" section.A label affixed to the inside of the filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to be used according to your engine.More than 5 litres of fuel must be added in order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Checks1925008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015With Stop & Start, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.To fill the tank safely:Fthe engine must be switched off,Fopen the fuel filler flap,Finsert the key in the cap, then turn it to the left,When refuelling is complete:Fput the cap back in place,Fturn the key to the right, then remove it from the cap,Fclose the filler flap.Fremove the cap and secure it on the hook, located on the inside of the flap,Ffill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle; this could cause malfunctions.Operating faultA malfunction of the fuel gauge is indicated by the return to zero of the fuel gauge needle.Have it checked by a PEUGEOTdealer or a qualified workshop.
9DIESELChecks1935008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Fuel used for petrol enginesThe petrol engines are compatible with E10 type petrol biofuels (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 which conform to current and future European standards (Diesel fuel which complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which complies with standard EN 14214) available at the pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel engines. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions. 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).
Checks1945008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*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.Mechanical 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.OperationIt 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.* Depending on the country of sale.

9Checks1995008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Checking levelsEngine oil levelThe check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel for vehicles so equipped, or using the dipstick.Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).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).If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not start the engine.-If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.-If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.A = MAXTo ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked on a level surface with the engine having been off for more than 30minutes.Checking using the dipstickB = MINFLocate the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle.For more information on the petrol or Diesel engine, refer to the corresponding section.FTake the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.FWipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth.FRefit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks Aand B.
Checks2005008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Power steering fluid levelThe power steering fluid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.Fluid specificationThe brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.Changing the fluidRefer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval for this operation.Brake fluid levelThe brake fluid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.After topping-up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the 30 minutes after topping up.Oil gradeBefore topping-up the oil or changing the oil, check that the oil is the correct grade for your engine and conforms to the manufacturer's recommendations.Topping-up the engine oil levelFLocate the oil filler cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle.For more information on the petrol or Diesel engine, refer to the corresponding section.FUnscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler aperture.FAdd oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).FWait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.FAdd more oil if necessary.FAfter checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.Engine oil changeRefer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval for this operation.In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control system, never use additives in the engine oil.
9Checks2015008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Diesel additive level (Diesel engine with particle filter)Used productsTopping upThis additive must be topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.A low additive level is indicated by illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen.Fluid specificationFor optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water.In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen.Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.Screenwash and headlamp wash fluidAvoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.The cooling fan may start after switching off the engine: take care with articles and clothing that might become caught by the fan blades.Fluid specificationThe coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.Coolant levelThe coolant level should be close to the "MAX" mark but should never exceed it.When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan.In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol or methanol base fluid is recommended.
Checks2025008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Particle filter (Diesel)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.12 V batteryThe battery does not require any maintenance.However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened, particularly in summer and winter.When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.Air filter and passenger compartment filterRefer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the replacement intervals for these components.Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary.A clogged passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.Oil filterReplace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the replacement interval for this component.On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly 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.The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification. The involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the battery.The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp accompanied by a message in the multifunction screen.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.For more information on checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.
9Checks2035008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Brake disc wearBrake 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.For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Manual gearboxThe gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for the checking interval for this component.Electronic gearboxThe gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the level checking interval for this component.Automatic gearboxThe gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the level checking interval for this component.This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Electric parking brakeOnly use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality and specification.In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those in the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specific products.After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.For more information on the electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.
Checks2045008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015AdBlue® additive and SCR systemfor BlueHDi Diesel enginesTo assure respect for the environment and conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions standard, without adversely affecting the performance or fuel consumption of Diesel engines, PEUGEOT has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with an effective system that associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) with a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of exhaust gases.Presentation of the SCR systemUsing an additive called AdBlue® containing urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrous oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are harmless to health and the environment.The AdBlue® additive is held in a special tank located under the boot at the rear of the vehicle. It has a capacity of 17 litres: this provides a driving range of about 12 500 miles (20 000 km), after which an alert is triggered warning you when the reserve remaining is enough for just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).During each scheduled service of your vehicle by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, the AdBlue® additive tank is refilled in order to allow normal operation of the SCR system.If the estimated mileage between two services is greater than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we recommend that you go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the necessary top-up carried out.Once the AdBlue®tank is empty, a system required by regulations prevents starting of the engine.If the SCR is faulty, the level of emissions from your vehicle will no longer meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle becomes polluting.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 a running distance of 650 miles (1 100 km), a system will be triggered automatically to prevent engine starting.
9Checks2055008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Range indicatorsThe engine start prevention system required by regulations is activated automatically once the AdBlue® tank is empty.Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after detection of a fault with the SCR emissions control system, when the ignition is switched on, an indicator displays an estimate of the distance that can be covered, the range, before engine starting is prevented.In the event of simultaneous system fault and low AdBlue® level, the shortest range figure is the one displayed.Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)When the ignition is switched on, no information on range is displayed automatically in the instrument panel.Pressing this button displays the driving range temporarily.Above 3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not specified.In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
Checks2065008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Remaining range between 350 and 1500 miles (600 and 2 400 km)When switching on the ignition, the UREAwarning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a message (e.g.: "Top up emissions additive: Starting prevented in 900 miles") indicating the remaining range expressed in miles or kilometres.When driving, the message is displayed every 200 miles (300 km) until the additive tank has been topped-up.Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the AdBlue® tank topped-up.You can also top-up the tank yourself.For more information on topping-up the AdBlue® additive, refer to the corresponding section.Remaining range between 0 and 350 miles (0 and 600 km)When switching on the ignition, the SERVICE warning lamp comes on and the UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a message (e.g. "Top up emissions additive: Starting prevented in 350 miles") indicating the remaining range expressed in miles or kilometres.When driving, the message is displayed every 30 seconds until the additive tank has been topped-up.Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the AdBlue® tank topped-up.You can also top-up the tank yourself.Otherwise you will not be able to restart your engine.Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue® additiveWhen switching on the ignition, the SERVICE warning lamp comes on and the UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of the message "Top up emissions additive: Starting prevented".The AdBlue® tank is empty: the system required by regulations prevents engine starting.To be able to start the engine, we recommend that you call on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for the top-up required.If you carry out the top-up yourself, it is essential to add at least 3.8 litres of AdBlue® to the tank.For more information on topping-up the AdBlue® additive, refer to the corresponding section.
9Checks2075008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015In the event of a fault with the the SCR emissions control systemA system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions control system. Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.In the event of the detection of a faultThe UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning lamps comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of the message "Emissions fault".The alert is triggered when driving when the fault is detected for the first time, then when switching on the ignition for subsequent journeys, while the fault persists.If it is a temporary fault, the alert disappears during the next journey, after self-diagnosis of the SCR system.During an authorised driving phase (between 650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed (after 30 miles (50 km) covered with the permanent display of the message signalling a fault), the SERVICE and engine diagnostic warning lamps come on and the UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a message (e.g.: "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in 150 miles") indicating the remaining range express in miles or kilometres.While driving, the message is displayed every 30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system persists.The alert is repeated when switching on the ignition.You should go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.Otherwise, you will not be able to restart your engine.
Checks2085008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015You have exceeded the authorised driving limit: the starting prevention system inhibits engine starting.Starting preventedEvery time the ignition is switched on, the SERVICE and engine diagnostic warning lamps come on and the UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of the message "Emissions fault: Starting prevented".Freezing of the AdBlue®additiveTo be able to start the engine, you must call on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.The AdBlue® additive 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.
9Checks2095008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Topping-up the AdBlue® additivePrecautions in useKeep AdBlue® out of the reach of children, in its original bottle.Never transfer AdBlue® to another container: it would lose its purity.Use only AdBlue® additive that meets the ISO 22241 standard.The AdBlue® additive is an urea-based solution. This liquid is non-flammable, colourless and odourless (kept in a cool area).In the event of contact with the skin, wash the affected area with soap and water. In the event of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate) the eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation persists, get medical attention.If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth with clean water and then drink plenty of water.In certain conditions (high ambient temperature, for example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale the product. Ammonia vapour has en irritant effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).Never dilute the additive with water.Never pour the additive into the Diesel fuel tank.The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies toping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a US gallon) bottles from a PEUGEOTdealer or a qualified workshop.Never top-up from an AdBlue®dispenser reserved for heavy goods vehicles.Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation included in every routine service on your vehicle by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it may be necessary to top-up the additive between services, more particularly if an alert (warning lamps and a message) signals the requirement.You can got to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.If you envisage topping-up yourself, please read the following warnings carefully.
