transmitters
You are advised to contact a P
eugeOt
dealer before installing accessory
radiocommunication transmitters with
external aerial on your vehicle.
P
eugeOt dealers can advise you on
the specifications (frequency waveband,
maximum output power, aerial position,
specific installation conditions) of the
transmitters which can be fitted, in
accordance with the Vehicle
electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/
eC).
the fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories which are not listed by
P
eugeOt may result in the failure of your
vehicle's electronic system.
W
e request that you take note of this point
and recommend that you contact a dealer
to be shown the range of recommended
equipment and accessories.
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold or operated, it may be
compulsory to have a high visibility vest,
warning triangle, replacement bulbs and
breathalyzer in the vehicle.
to prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
-
ensure that the mat and its fixings are
positioned correctly
,
-
never fit one mat on top of another.

Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Brake disc wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc wear, contact a P
eugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a P
eugeOt
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on,
have the brake pad wear checked
by a P
eugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop. In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly advise you
not to use high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
and de-ice the brakes. Only use products recommended by
P
eugeOt or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, P
eugeOt
selects and offers specific products.
Change the filter regularly
, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Levels and checks

Good practice
While the quantity of AdBlue® in the additive
tank is
sufficient, no information is displayed.
On the other hand, once the additive level
drops to the quantity needed for a range
of 1 500 miles (2 400 km) driving, you
are warned by different temporary signals
(warning lamp, message, audible signal).
As more miles are covered, these signals
intensify and the message becomes
permanent.
Filling the additive tank
For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre containers
and 1.89 litre (1/2
uS gallon) bottles are
available from P
eugeOt dealers.
If you want to fill the AdBlue® tank yourself,
ensure that you have a suitable filler pipe,
which may or may not be supplied with the
additive container. When the AdBlue® tank is empty,
restarting becomes impossible.
It is strongly recommended that you do
not wait for the successive alerts before
topping-up the AdBlue
® tank, but do this as
soon as possible.

refit the filler cap
-
Refit the blue cap to the tank and turn it
a 6th of a turn clockwise, to its stop.
-
Close the filler flap.
Never dispose of AdBlue
® additive
bottles in the household waste. Place
them in a special container provided this
purpose or take them to your dealer.
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another container:
it would loose its purity.
Never dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel fuel
tank.
recommendations on storage
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue® in your vehicle. Freezing of the AdBlue
® additive
AdBlue® 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.
the 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 of
f
immediately, but does so after a few miles
of driving.
