Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at 
routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the 
manufacturer's recommendations.The check and top-up must be done 
with the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents the risk of 
serious damage to your engine.
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.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or 
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to 
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a P

 ealer or 
a qualified workshop (France) or to an 
authorised waste disposal site.

A low additive level is indicated by 
illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an audible warning 
and a message in the instrument 
panel screen.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, 
this fluid must not be topped up with or 
replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp

In the case of vehicles fitted with 
headlamp washers, the low fluid level 
is indicated by an audible signal and

stop the vehicle.
In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol 
or methanol base fluid is recommended.

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 filterParticle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle 
filter is indicated by the temporary 
illumination of this warning lamp 
accompanied by a message in the 
multifunction screen.
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 n
ew 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. This does 
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle 
or the environment.un
less otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's 
service schedule and according to your engine.
ot
her wise, have them checked by a P

T d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
For more information and the precautions to 
take before starting work on the 12 V batter y , 
refer to the corresponding section. 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
.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may 
have an adverse effect on the per formance 
of the air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of 
specific technology and specification.

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
ugeo
T h
 as 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. The 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
ugeo
T d
 ealer 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
ugeo
T d
ealer 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
ugeo
T d
ealer 
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
ugeo
T d
 ealer 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
ugeo
T d
 ealer 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 ISo
 22241 standard.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel 
tank.
The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies 
topping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a 
uS
 
gallon) bottles from a P
e
 ugeo
T
   dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Never top-up from an AdBlue
® 
dispenser reserved for heavy goods 
vehicles.
AdBlue
® is a 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 
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).

Recommendations on storage
Never store bottles of AdBlue® in your 
vehicle.
AdBlue
® freezes at about -11°C and 
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended 
that bottles be stored in a cool area and 
protected from direct sunlight.
un
der these conditions, the fluid can be kept 
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it 
has completely thawed out.

Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure 
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level 
sur face.
