In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.With Stop & Start, never refuel with

(
empty) is reached, this warning

You then have around 10 to
12 litres in the reserve, depending on the
capacity of the tank, the engine type, the
driving conditions and the profile of the road.
Refuel without delay to avoid running out of
fuel.
the capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 90 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities, 60
and
120 litres, may be fitted.

nd AdBLuE® AddItIVE
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 15 litres.
It has an exterior filler located behind the
fuel filler flap below the fuel filler cap and
closed with a blue filler cap.
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.this operation can also be carried out
by a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Scr technology
Filling of the AdBlue® tank can be done
using:
-
5 or 10 litres containers equipped with a
10 centimetre filler tube or the filling kit
available from P
eugeOt dealers,
-
1.89 litre botles that are screwed onto
the filler neck, available from P
eugeOt
dealers,
-
or when at a fuel filling station equipped
with a special
AdBlue
® delivery pump for
heavy or light vehicles.
