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.

You will be informed as each mileage
threshold is reached and the alerts will
change from temporary to permanent.

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.

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.

Precautions to take
u
se only AdBlue® additive that meets
the IS
o
22241 standard.
The AdBlue
® additive is an urea-based
solution.
This liquid is non-flammable, colourless
and odourless.
To be kept in a cool area.
Containers (5 or 10 litres) and
bottles (1.89 litres) of AdBlue
®
Please check the use-by date.
Read the instructions on the label.
e
nsure that you have a suitable
filler pipe, which may or may not be
supplied with the container. In the event of an overflow, wipe
around the filler mouth using a
damp cloth.
If any AdBlue
® fluid is split or splashed
on to you, wash immediately with cold
water or wipe yourself with a clean
damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off using a sponge and hot water.

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.

After the engine has stopped, with
the key in the ignition position, certain
functions (windscreen wiper, electric
windows, courtesy lamps, audio
equipment, etc.) can only be used for a
cumulative duration of thirty minutes, to
prevent discharging of the battery.
o
nce the thirty minutes have elapsed,
the active functions are put on standby
and the battery warning lamp flashes
accompanied by a message in the
screen.
To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it
run for a few minutes.
The time available will then be double
the time for which the engine was left
running. However, this time will always
be between five and thirty minutes.

Without lifting (4 wheels on the
road)
You should always use a towing arm.
BeINg toWeD
This procedure involves the use of
the towing eye supplied with the tools
for changing a wheel.
From the front
- unclip the cover by pressing the
bottom part.
-
Fully screw in the removable towing
eye.
From the rear
- unclip the cover using a coin or the
flat part of the towing eye,

road)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle
using professional lifting equipment. Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (Diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fitted with
a manual gearbox, the gear lever
must be in neutral, failure to observe
this special condition may result in
damage to transmission and braking
components and the absence of
braking assistance when the engine is
started again.
