Compatibility of fuels
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with
biofuels that conform to current and future
European standards and which can be
obtained from filling stations:Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590
mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester),
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734
mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester),
Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940
mixed with
a
biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to
7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). For more information, contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel
syste m).
The only Diesel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715000


standard.Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could entail an abnormal operation
of the fuel supply circuit. To avoid this, we
recommend using winter-type Diesel fuel and
keeping the fuel tank more than 50% full.
If, despite this, at temperatures below -15°C
(+5°F) the engine has problems starting,
just leave the vehicle in a garage or heated
workshop for a
little while.
B20

or B30

fuel that meets the
standard EN16709

can be used with
your Diesel engine. However, the
use of this fuel, even occasional,
requires strict application of the
special servicing conditions referred
to as "Arduous conditions".
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a
par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific sales name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.

For access to the reser voir filler cap, remove
the protective cover by turning its three fixing
screws a quarter turn, then remove the second
cover fitted to the cap.
Engine coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up this fluid
between two services.
Check the coolant level regularly,
according to the use made of your vehicle
(every 3,000
miles (5,000 km)/3 months);
if necessary, top up using coolant
recommended by the manufacturer.
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.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the electric fan. This
may operate with the ignition off; furthermore,
because the cooling system is under pressure,
wait for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work. F

Operation
This filter, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
management unit controls the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is triggered
depending on the amount of particles
accumulated and the vehicle use conditions.
During this phase, you may notice some
unusual phenomena – increased idling speed,
cooling fan running, increase in smoke and
higher exhaust gas temperature – which does
not affect the operation of the vehicle or the
environment.After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally notice
water vapour being emitted from the
exhaust when accelerating. This is of no
consequence to the running of the vehicle
or to the environment. Because of the higher exhaust gas
temperature resulting from the normal
operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.) so as to
avoid any risk of fire.
Saturation/Regeneration
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
This alert tells you that the particle filter is
starting to saturate (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams, etc.).
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a
speed of at least
37

mph (60 km/h), with an engine speed above
2,000

rpm for about fifteen minutes (until the
warning lamp and/or the message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of the filter regeneration;
repeated interruptions could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. It is not
recommended to end regeneration of the filter
with the vehicle stationary.
Malfunction
If this alert persists, do not ignore the warning;
it indicates that a fault has occurred in the
exhaust system/particle filter assembly.
Have the whole system checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
the brake pad wear checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a
heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in very cold conditions.
Topping up with AdBlue®
Before topping up, please read the
following warnings carefully.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid
is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(stored in a
cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse 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 exterior temperature,
for example), the risk of ammonia being
released cannot be excluded: do not inhale
the vapours. Ammonia has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
AdBlue® (BlueHDi engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a
system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a
Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® containing urea, a
catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are
harmless to health and the environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank with
a
capacity of approximately 14 litres.
It has an exterior filler located behind the fuel
filler flap below the fuel filler cap and closed
with a

blue filler cap .
An alarm system is triggered once the
remaining range is 1,500
miles (2,400 km), in
other words once the reser ve level is reached. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a
regulatory device prevents the engine
from being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle no longer
meet the Euro 6

regulations: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a

confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a

qualified workshop as soon
as possible: having travelled 250 miles
(400 km), a device will be triggered
automatically to prevent the engine from
starting.
Practical information

133
Keep AdBlue® out of the reach of children,
in its original container or bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
Bottles or containers are available from
a

PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It should be stored in
a

cool place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a
year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out at room temperature.
Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Procedure
In cold weather, before topping up, ensure that
the temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue
® may freeze and so
cannot be poured into its tank.
Park your vehicle in a

warmer area for a few
hours to allow the top up to be carried out.
Use only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO

22241

standard.

Starting using another
battery
Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a
24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the backup
battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and
a
capacity at least equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.
After every reconnection of the battery, switch
on the ignition and wait 1

minute before
starting to allow the electronic systems to be
initialised. If slight difficulties are experienced
after this, please contact a

PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop. The positive battery terminal A is accessible
via an access cover located at the side of the
fusebox.
Make connections only to the points indicated

not to be used for a

period of more than
one month.
The description of the battery charging
procedure is given as an indication only.
If the battery has been disconnected for some
time, it may be necessary to reinitialise the
following functions:
-

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a
test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop. The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a
maximum altitude of 1,000 metres.
The towed load value must be reduced by 10%
for each additional 1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towbar (which can be dismantled with or
without a tool).
GT W: Gross train weight.
High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine. If the
exterior temperature is above 37°C, limit
the towed load.
Towing with a towing vehicle which is only
slightly laden may negatively affect its
handling.
Towing a
trailer increases the braking
distance.
When towing, never exceed the speed
of 62
mph (100 km/h) (obser ve the local
legislation in force). If the exterior 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.
