Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). u
s
e a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-

Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a P

without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3
000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Service overdue
the spanner flashes for a few seconds after
the ignition is switched on, to indicate that the
service must be carried out as soon as possible.
Example: the service is overdue by 180 miles
(3 0 0 k m).
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:
the
mileage remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driving conditions in which the

you have exceeded the period since
the last service, as indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With BlueHDi Diesel versions, the
spanner can also come on in advance
of the service interval, according to the
level of deterioration of the engine oil,
which depends on the driving conditions
in which the vehicle is used. If you have to disconnect the battery
following this operation, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the

Checking levels
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).
Engine oil level
the check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
to e
nsure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
sur face with the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). P
e

recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms). Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. t

Checks
12 V battery
the battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened (versions
without quick release terminals) and that
the connections are clean.Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filter
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of specific
technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out only by a
P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Particle filter (Diesel)
the start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed
of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low additive level.
For more information on checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration.

When carrying out any operation on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
starting work. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g.

city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary .

Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
un

less there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.

After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light

AdBlue® additive and SCR system
for BlueHDi Diesel engines
to assure respect for the environment and
conformity with the new
eu ro 6 emissions
standard, without adversely affecting the
per formance or fuel consumption of Diesel
engines, P
e

uge
Ot
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.
th
e 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 P
e

uge
Ot
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 P
e

uge
Ot
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
e
u
ro 6 standard: your
vehicle becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault
with the SCR system, you must go
to a P
e

uge
Ot

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.
