Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with
E10 bio-petrol (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
engines
The 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).

BlueHDi
and AdBlue
® additive
The technology
AdBlue® is the brand name of the solution
needed for operation of the SCR system.
BlueHDi vehicles have a specific AdBlue
®
additive tank with a capacity of 17 litres .
Filling of the AdBlue
® tank can be done using
5 or 10 litre containers or 1.89 litre bottles.
The objective of BlueHDi is to reduce by up
to 90% the emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides)
in the air, using a system that converts NOx
into water vapour and nitrogen in a dedicated
catalytic converter: SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction).
This objective meets the "Euro 6" emissions
standard adopted by the European Union
aimed at limiting the emissions of pollutants
from internal combustion engines.
The SCR technology used on BlueHDi engines
involves the injection of AdBlue
® fluid into the
exhaust system. Check that the product is within its use-by date.
Read the instructions on the label.
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.
This operation can also be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Advice
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).
When the AdBlue
® tank is empty, restarting
becomes impossible. Different levels of alert are triggered according
to the remaining driving range threshold.
You will be informed as each mileage threshold
is reached and the alerts will change from
temporary to permanent.
-
The 1
st alert is triggered at a remaining
driving range of 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
- The 2
nd alert is triggered at a remaining
driving range of 375 miles (600 km).
Up to 0 miles, at which point it will be
impossible to restart the engine after a stop.
Range indicators
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.
Driving range
Press this button to display the information.
With the touch screen:
If the range is greater than 3 100 miles
(5 000 km), a range value is not given. -
select the "Driving assistance"
menu,
- select "Diagnostic",
- select CHECK.

To p p i n g - u p
If any AdBlue® fluid is split or splashed
on to you, wash immediately with cold
water or wipe yourself with a clean
damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off using a sponge and hot water.
Precautions to take
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.
To be kept in a cool area. After filling the additive tank, observe the
following procedure:
-
Switch on the ignition without starting.
- Wait 10 seconds before starting the engine.
Never dispose of empty AdBlue
®
containers and bottles in the household
waste.
Place them in a special container
provided this purpose or take them to
your dealer. Ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat and
level surface.
Parking
F
Switch off the ignition and remove the key.
In the event of an over flow, wipe around the
filler mouth using a damp cloth.
In wintry conditions, ensure that
the temperature of the vehicle is
above -11°C. Other wise, 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.

Filling
F Pour 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.
F
Wipe away any spillage around the tank
filler using a damp cloth.
Closing
F Refit the blue cap to the tank and turn it
a 6th of a turn clockwise, to its stop.
F Refit the black cap and turn it a quarter of
a turn clockwise without pressing. Ensure
that the indicator on the cap lines up with
the indicator on the support.
F Depending on equipment, return the spare
wheel and/or the storage box to the bottom
of the boot.
F Refit the boot carpet and close the tailgate.
Access
F For access to the AdBlue® tank, raise the
boot carpet then, depending on equipment,
lift out the spare wheel and/or the storage
box.

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.
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.
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Recommendations on
storage
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 off immediately, but does so after a
few miles of driving.
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
a i r.
