Practical information

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in
the tank is reached, this
warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision. When it first comes on, less than 8 litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have the tank
drained and refilled with the correct
fuel before you star t the engine.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,
a device which helps to reduce the level of
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
Diesel misfuel
prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids
the risk of engine damage that can result from
filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the filler cap
is removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap.
t
h
e system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler
nozzle.
If your vehicle has sliding side doors, do
not open the left hand sliding door as
there is a risk of damaging the fuel filler
flap when refuelling.

Fuel used for Diesel
engines
the Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
eu
ropean standards and can be obtained from
filling stations:
th
e use of B20 or B30 fuel
meeting standard e
N
16709
is possible in your Diesel
engine. However, this use,
even occasional, requires
strict application of the special
servicing conditions referred to
as "Arduous conditions".
For more information, contact a
P
e

ugeot dealer or a qualified
workshop.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank but this must be done slowly.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel
prevention device may make refuelling
impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that
you check with the P
e

ugeot dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you want to
travel.
th

e 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).
th

e only Diesel additives authorised for
use are those that meet the B715000
standard.

AdBlue® 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

ugeot 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 a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea, a
catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen
oxides (N
ox

) into nitrogen and water, which are
harmless to health and the environment.
th
e AdBlue
® is held in a special tank with
a capacity of about 22 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

ugeot dealer or a qualified workshop,
the AdBlue
® tank is refilled in order to allow
normal operation of the SCR system.
on
ce 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

ugeot
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.
When filling the tank, the filling rate
must not exceed 40 litres per minute.
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

ugeot
dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the necessary
top-up carried out.

Topping-up the AdBlue®
Filling the AdBlue® tank is an operation
included in every routine service on your
vehicle by a P
e

ugeot dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank, it
may be necessary to top-up the fluid between
services, more particularly if an alert (warning
lamps and a message) signals the requirement.
You can go to a P
e

ugeot dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.
Precautions in use
Keep AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
us
e only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
IS
o
22241 standard.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
th

e supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies
topping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a
u
S
g

allon) bottles from a P
e

ugeot dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Never top-up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser reserved for heavy goods
vehicles.
AdBlue
® is a urea-based solution. th
is 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
fluid. Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Important
If your vehicle's AdBlue
® tank is
c
ompletely 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).

imit, on condition
that the

W of the towing vehicle is reduced
by the same amount.
the

recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable with or
without tools). High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine; when
the ambient temperature is higher
than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
If the ambient temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling.
to

wing with a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.

towing (comply with the legislation in
force in your country).
