BLueHDI
AND A D B L ue® ADDItIVe
t
he 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.
It has an exterior filler with a blue filler
cap, located to the left of the Diesel
fuel filler cap.
Filling of the AdBlue
® tank can be
done using 5 or 10 litre containers,
1.89 litre bottles, or when at a fuel
filling station equipped with a special
AdBlue
® delivery pump for light
vehicles.
The objective of BlueHDi is to reduce
by up to 90% the emissions of N
o
x
(nitrous oxides) in the air, using a
system that converts N
o
x into water
vapour and nitrogen in a dedicated
catalytic converter: SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction).
This objective meets the "
e
uro"
emissions standard adopted by the
e
uropean
u
nion aimed at limiting the
emissions of pollutants from internal
combustion engines.
The BlueHDi generation of engines
allow the "Euro 6" European standard
to be met, with an extra tank to hold
the AdBlue
® fluid for the treatment of
exhaust gases.
This operation can also be carried
out by a P
eugeo T dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Please note that the high delivery
pumps at some filling stations,
intended only for lorries and coaches,
are not suitable for cars or light
commercial vehicles.
Never use these pumps.

Once the 350 miles (600 km) threshold
is reached, the u R e A warning lamp
flashes and the Service warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by a message
on the remaining driving range.
The alert is repeated every 30 seconds
with an update of the remaining driving
range in steps of 30 miles (50 km)
travelled.
e
very time the ignition is switched
on, the alert is given together with an
audible signal.
At 0 miles the system installed in
the vehicle to meet the emissions
standard will prevent engine
starting. The 0 level of AdBlue
® additive has
been reached.
Your vehicle's exhaust emissions no
longer meet the "Euro 6" standard and
the engine will not start.
To be able to restart the vehicle, you
must add at least 4 litres of AdBlue
®.
-
Pour the additive into the tank (by
the filler with the blue cap).
-
Switch on the ignition without
starting.
-
W
ait 10 seconds before starting the
engine.
Remaining range less than 350 miles
(600 km) and more than 0 miles
Starting prevented, breakdown
related to a lack of AdBlue
® additive
in the special tank
Avoid waiting until the
remaining range is 0 miles!
The alert is repeated when driving until
the additive tank has been topped-up
with sufficient additive.
u
nless the additive in the special
additive tank is topped-up, you risk
immobilisation of the vehicle. Following this, make a further fill
to the special additive tank, the
capacity of which is 17 litres.Fault with the SCR system
The uReA, Service and diagnostic
warning lamps comes on.
e
very time the ignition is switched on,
the emissions fault is confirmed by an
audible signal and a message.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears as soon as the exhaust
emissions return to the levels required
by the standard. Detection
o
n the other hand, if the warning
lamps are still on after 30 miles
(50 km) of driving, the fault is
confirmed.
An engine start prevention system will
be activated automatically after
650 miles (1 100 km) travelled
following this confirmation.

Filling
ensure that the vehicle is parked on a
flat and level surface.
Pour the contents of the container /
bottle into the dedicated tank.
After fillin
g the additive tank, observe
the following procedure:
-
Switch on the ignition without
starting.
-
W
ait 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. 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.
Recommendations on storage
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue® in your vehicle.
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.
u
nder 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 air. 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.

The engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power
speed, fuel, Co
2 emissions...) for your
vehicle are given in the registration
certificate.
These characteristics correspond
to the values type-approved
on a test bed, under conditions
defined in European legislation
(Directive
1999/99/ e C).
For more information, refer to the
manufacturer's website or sales
brochure for the model. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

These values, expressed in kg, can be
found on the manufacturer's VIN plate
or label.
The maximum weights and towed
loads for your vehicle can be found on
the vehicle's registration certificate.
The kerb weight is equal to the weight
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank
filled to 90%.
The
g TW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1000 metres. The value of
the towed load mentioned must be
reduced by 10 % for each additional
1000 metres.
With load transfer, the braked trailer
weight can be increased, on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
g
TW is not exceeded. High ambient temperatures
may result in a reduction in the
performance of the vehicle in
order to protect the engine. When the
ambient temperature is higher than
37
°C, limit the towed weight.Towing with a lightly loaded
vehicle can adversely affect road
holding.
Towing a trailer increases braking
distances.
When towing, the maximum permitted
speed is reduced (comply with the
legislation in force in the country). The recommended nose weight is
the downward force on the towball
(removable with or without tools).
g
VW: gross vehicle weight, the
maximum authorised weight.
gt
W: gross train weight, the maximum
weight for vehicle plus trailer.
The location of the manufacturer's
plate is given in chapter 9,
"Identification markings" section.
In each country, it is imperative that
the maximum towed loads authorised
by local legislation are complied
with. To find out your vehicle's towing
capacities and its gross train weight,
consult a P
eugeo T dealer.
