253
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6

standard: 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: after travelling the distance of
685

miles (1,100

km), a system preventing
the engine starting will be triggered
automatically.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
lamps and the associated alerts, refer to
the corresponding section.
Topping up AdBlue®
Given the capacity of the tank, it may be
necessary to top up the fluid between ser vices,
more particularly if an alert (warning lamps and
a message) signals the requirement.
You can go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully. Important
If your vehicle's AdBlue
® tank is
completely 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).
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 all weather conditions.
Precautions for use
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 you feel
a persistent burning sensation or irritation, 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 release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the fluid.
Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
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.
