Carbon filter and passenger compartment filterParticle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have
your battery checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fluid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
An access flap allows replacement of
the filters.
The carbon filter permits continuous
and effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter
becomes blocked, this may reduce the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. By
means of its second special active
filter, it contributes to the purification
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Refer to theservicing and warranty
booklet for the replacement interval for
these components. Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.

Good practice
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly
advise you not to use high
pressure washing to clean the engine
compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or in winter, ice may form on the brake
discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the filter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.
HDi engines use advanced
technology. All work requires
special training, so should be
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer.
Depending on country of sale. To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the filter.
Operate until all of the water no longer
flows in the transparent pipe, then
tighten the bleed screw. Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
specific products.

REFUELLING
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the
engine off.
-
Open the fuel filler flap.
-
Insert the key
, then turn it a quarter
turn.
-
Remove the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
flap. When fillin
g with fuel, a
mechanical system prevents
opening of the left-hand side door.
When the fuel filler flap is open, ensure
that no one tries to slide this door.
Once the flap has been closed, the
sliding side door may jam, push the
door to close it then open it.
When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes on. A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel filler cap is opened,
there may be a slight inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal and is due to
the sealing of the fuel system.
When filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the
nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres (or 55 litres
according to version).
-
After fillin
g the fuel tank, lock the
cap and close the flap.
You then have approximately 8 litres
of fuel remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running
out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control and injection systems.

Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage the
engine of your vehicle. In certain
countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific
octane rating, specific sales
name…) to ensure correct operation
of the engine.
For any additional information, contact
your dealer.
Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with
bio-fuels that conform to current and
future European standards and can be
obtained from filling stations:
-
Petrol that meets the EN228
standard, mixed with a bio-fuel

BLUEHDI AND ADBLUE®
SCR technology
AdBlue® is the brand name of the
solution needed for operation of the
SCR system. The aim of BlueHDi is to reduce the
emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides) in
the air by up to 90%, using a system
that converts NOx into water vapour
and nitrogen in a dedicated catalytic
converter: SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction).
This objective meets the "Euro 6"
emissions standard adopted by the
European Union aimed at limiting the
emissions of pollutants from internal
combustion engines.
The SCR technology used on BlueHDi
engines involves the injection of
AdBlue
® into the exhaust 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.
This operation can also be carried
out by a PEUGEOT
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.

Good practice
While the quantity of AdBlue® in
the additive tank is sufficient, no
information is displayed.
On the other hand, once the fluid
level drops to the quantity needed
for a range of 1 500 miles (2 400 km)
driving, you are warned by dif
ferent
temporary signals (warning lamp,
message, audible signal).
As more miles are covered, these
signals intensify and the message
becomes permanent.
When the AdBlue
® tank is empty,
restarting becomes impossible.
It is strongly recommended that you
do not wait for the successive alerts
before topping-up the AdBlue
® additive,
but do this as soon as possible.
Filling the AdBlue® tank
For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre
containers and 1.89 litre
(1/2
US
gallon) bottles are available
from PEUGEOT dealers, until they are
equipped with AdBlue
® delivery pumps.
If you want to fill the AdBlue® tank
yourself, ensure that you have a
suitable filler pipe, which may or may
not be supplied with the additive
container.
