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 available at the pumps which meet
current and future European standards:
-

D
iesel fuel that meets standard EN 590
mixed with a biofuel that meets standard
EN14214,
-

D
iesel fuel that meets standard EN16734
mixed with a biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10 %
Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
-

P
araffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets
standard EN14214 (possibly containing up
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting
standard
EN16709 is possible in your Diesel
engines. However, this use, even occasional,
requires strict application of the special
servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous
conditions". For more information, 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).
Only the use of Diesel fuel additives that meet
the standard B715000 is authorised.

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
for BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and
conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions
standard, without adversely affecting the
per formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
engines, PEUGEOT has taken the decision to
equip its vehicles with an effective system that
associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
with a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of
exhaust gases.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue® containing
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of nitrous oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment. The AdBlue
® additive is held in a special
tank located under the boot at the rear of
the vehicle. It has a capacity of 17 litres: this
provides a driving range of about 12 500 miles
(20 000 km), after which an alert is triggered
warning you when the reserve remaining is
enough for just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
During each scheduled service of your vehicle
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
the AdBlue
® additive tank is refilled in order to
allow normal operation of the SCR system.
If the estimated mileage between two services
is greater than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we
recommend that you go to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the necessary
top-up carried out. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
s
ystem required by regulations prevents
starting of the engine.
If the SCR

is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no
longer meet the Euro 6 standard: your
vehicle becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault
with the SCR system, you must go
to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible: after
a running distance of 650 miles
(1

100 km), a system will be triggered
automatically to prevent 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, allowing you to
continue driving in very cold conditions.
Topping-up the AdBlue® additive
Precautions in use
Use only AdBlue® additive that meets the
ISO
22241 standard.
The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies
topping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a US
gallon) bottles from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of
children, in its original bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity. Never dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel tank.
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 PEUGEOT 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 PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully. 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 an irritant
effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and
throat).
