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.

To w i n g
General recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of
the towed vehicle and must have a valid
driving licence.
When towing a
vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towbar; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a
professional recovery ser vice:
-

v
ehicle broken down on a motor way or
main road,
-
f

our-wheel drive vehicle,
-

w
hen it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
-

t
owing with only two wheels on the
ground,
-

w
here there is no approved towbar
available.
The charging operation must be carried
out in a

ventilated area away from naked
flames or any possible sources of sparks
to eliminate the risk of explosion and fire.
Do not try to charge a

frozen battery: it
must first be thawed out to avoid the risk
of explosion. If the battery has frozen,
before charging it have it checked by
a

specialist who will verify that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the case is not cracked, which could
mean that there is a

risk of a

leak of toxic
and corrosive acid.
Proceed with a

slow charge at low current
for a

maximum of about 24

hours to avoid
damaging the battery.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
F Go to the battery located in the front left
f l o o r.
F

D
isconnect the battery.
F

F
ollow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
F

R
econnect starting with the negative (-)
terminal.
F

C
heck the condition of the terminals and
clamps. If they are covered with sulphate
(whitish or greenish deposits), disconnect
them and clean them all.
After refitting of the battery by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop, the Stop & Start system will
only be active after a
continuous period
of immobilisation of the vehicle, a period
which depends on the climatic conditions
and the state of charge of the battery (up
to about 8
hours).
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification; the
involvement of a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.

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.
