Peugeot 208 2016-2022 Fuel Tank

Fuel Tank

Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres (45 litres for the BlueHDi Diesel engine).

Refuelling

To fill the tank safely:

  • The engine must be switched off.
  • Open the fuel filler flap 1.
  • Insert the key in the cap 2, then turn it to the left.
  • Remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the flap 3.
  • Fill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut-off of the pump to avoid malfunctions.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the system in STOP mode; switch off the ignition with the key.

You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel. Additions of fuel must be at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.

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.

Refuelling Steps
  1. Open the filler flap.
  2. Remove the filler cap.
  3. Hook the filler cap onto the clip.

After filling the tank:

  • Put the cap back in place.
  • Turn the key to the right, then remove it from the cap.
  • Close the flap.

Diesel

The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the fixed illumination of the warning lamp, accompanied by a warning message on the screen (if 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 idle, water vapour may be emitted from the exhaust during acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.

When 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.

Diesel Additive

A low additive level is indicated by illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display screen (if fitted).

This additive must be topped-up by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.

Fuel Supply Cut-off

Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an impact.

If you have put the wrong fuel in the tank, you must have the tank drained and filled with the correct fuel before starting the engine.

Emergency or Assistance Call

PEUGEOT Connect SOS

In an emergency, press this button for more than 2 seconds. Flashing of the green indicator lamp and a voice message confirm that the call has been made to the PEUGEOT Connect SOS centre.

  • Pressing the button again immediately cancels the call.
  • The green indicator lamp goes off.
  • The green indicator lamp remains on when communication is established.
  • The lamp goes off at the end of the call.

PEUGEOT Connect SOS locates your vehicle, communicates with you in your language and, if necessary, organises sending emergency services.

If the service is unavailable or geo-location is declined, the call is sent directly to emergency services (112) without location data.

If an impact is detected by the airbag control unit, an emergency call may be made automatically, even if airbags are not deployed.

PEUGEOT Connect Assistance

Press this button for more than 2 seconds to request assistance if the vehicle breaks down. A voice message confirms that the call has been made.

  • Pressing the button again cancels the request.
  • Cancellation is confirmed by a voice message.

Geo-location

  • To deactivate geo-location: press the PEUGEOT Connect SOS and PEUGEOT Connect Assistance buttons simultaneously, then press the Assistance button to confirm.
  • To reactivate geo-location: repeat the same procedure and confirm again.

System Operation

  • When the ignition is switched on, the green indicator lamp lights for 3 seconds indicating correct operation.
  • If the orange indicator lamp flashes then goes off, the system has a fault.
  • If the orange indicator lamp remains on, the back-up battery should be replaced.
