A system that prevents engine starting
is activated automatically from
650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation
of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system. Have the system
checked by a P

uge
O
T dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears once the exhaust gas
emissions return to normal.

Starting prevented
You have exceeded the authorised
driving limit: the starting prevention
system inhibits engine starting.Freezing of the AdBlue®
additive
The AdBlue® additive freezes at
temperatures below around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for
the AdBlue
® tank.
In exceptional circumstances (vehicle
kept for a long period at temperatures
that are constantly below -15°C), an
emissions control system fault alert may
be related to freezing of the AdBlue
® in
your vehicle.
Park your vehicle in a warmer area for
a few hours until the additive becomes
liquid again.
The emissions alert does not go off
immediately, it will occur after several
mile of running.
To be able to start the engine, you must call on
a P
e

uge
O

T dealer or a qualified workshop.

Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Never dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel tank.
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children, in its original bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would loose its purity. 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 P
e

uge
O
T 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 P
e

uge
O
T dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.Precautions in use
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).us e only AdBlue® additive that meets
the ISO 22241 standard.
The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies
toping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a
u
S
g

allon) bottles from a P
e
uge
O
T dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
und

er these conditions, the additive can be
kept for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never store bottles of AdBlue
® in your
vehicle. Before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise, by freezing, the AdBlue
® cannot
be poured into its tank. Park your vehicle in a
warmer area for a few hours to allow the top-up
to be carried out.

F Obtain a bottle of AdBlue®. After first
checking the use-by date, read carefully
the instructions on use on the label before
pouring the contents of the bottle into your
vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
Important : if your vehicle's AdBlue
®
tank is completely empty - which is
confirmed by the alert messages and
the impossibility of starting the engine,
you must add at least 3.8 litres
(so two 1.89 litre bottles). If any additive is split or splashed, wash
immediately with cold water or wipe with
a damp cloth.
If the additive 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 additive , signalled by the message
"Top up emissions additive: Starting
prevented", you must wait around
5 minutes 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
10 seconds, start the engine.

Checking levels
Oil level
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel (depending
on version), or using the dipstick.Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record
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.
Oil specification
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
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).
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a P
e

uge
O

T dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is normal to top up the oil level
between two services (or oil changes).
P
e

uge
O

T recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
Checks

213
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
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.Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
