In the event of the detection of a faultIf it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey, after
self-diagnosis of the SCR system.
During the permitted driving phase (between
685 and 0 miles (1,100 and 0 km)) While driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR
emissions control system persists.
The alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
You should go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise you will not be able to restart the vehicle.
Starting prevented
You have exceeded the authorised driving

inhibits engine starting.
To be able to start the engine, you must call on
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
These warning lamps come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and the display of the
message "Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered when driving when the
fault is detected for the first time, then when
switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed (after
31 miles (50 km) covered with the permanent
display of the message signalling a fault), these
warning lamps come on and the AdBlue warning
lamp flashes, accompanied by


an audible signal
and the display of a message (e.g. "Emissions
fault: Starting prevented in 200 miles) indicating
the remaining range expressed in miles or
kilometres. Each time the ignition is switched on, these
warning lamps come on and the AdBlue
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault: Starting prevented".
Manual test
This function allows you to check certain
indicators and display the alerts log. It can be accessed via the Check/
Diagnostics

Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up. When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with
a
ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with
antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for
the prevailing conditions, in order to preser ve
the elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts,
e t c .) .
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reser voir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message that
the particle filter additive level is
too low.
To p p i n g u p
The reser voir must be topped up without delay
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Level of AdBlue
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
For more information on the Indicators for
the AdBlue range, refer to the corresponding
section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up the AdBlue tank.
Engine oil change
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear. Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
