Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on 
all tyres, including the spare wheel, 
when the tyres are "cold".
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure 
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have 
driven for more than 10 minutes or more 
than 6
 
miles (10 kilometres) at over 31 mph 
(50
 
km/h), add 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values 
indicated on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases 
fuel consumption. Non-compliant tyre 
pressure causes premature wear on tyres 
and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's 
road holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces 
the braking and road holding per formance of 
the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly 
check the condition of the tyres (tread and 
sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the 
presence of the valves.
Using different size wheels and tyres from 
those specified can affect the lifetime of 
tyres, wheel rotation, ground clearance, the 
speedometer reading and have an adverse 
effect on road holding.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure 
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without 
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel 
consumption of its 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® that contains 
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  holding about 20 
litres. Its capacity allows a driving range of 
approximately 4,300
  miles (7,000   km) 
( highly dependent  on your driving style 
and the vehicle). An alert system is triggered 
automatically when the remaining range 
reaches 1,500 miles (2,400   km), i.e. once the 
reserve level has been reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during 
the remaining 1,500   miles (2,400   km) before 
the tank is empty and the vehicle is disabled.
If the estimated distance travelled by the 
vehicle between two ser vices is greater than 
3,700   miles (6,000   km), it will be necessary to 
top up the AdBlue.
For more information on the Warning 
and indicator lamps  and the associated 
alerts, or the Indicators , refer to the 
corresponding sections.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles 
can cause the ESC to mistime. 
Practical information

Warning triangle
This safety equipment should be used in 
addition to the hazard warning lamps.
Placing the triangle on the 
road
Before leaving your vehicle to set up and install 
the triangle, switch on the hazard warning 
lamps and put on your high visibility vest.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions on 
unfolding and assembly supplied with the 
triangle.The triangle is available as an accessory; 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Running out of fuel 
(Diesel)
With Diesel engines, the fuel system must be 
primed if you run out of fuel.
Before priming
, at least 5
  litres of Diesel fuel 
must be added to the tank.
For more information on Refuelling  and 
Misfuel prevention (Diesel) , refer to the 
corresponding section.
For all versions other than BlueHDi, the 
components are located in the engine 
compartment; they can be found under the 
removable cover. For more information about the Engine 
compartment , in particular the location of 
these components under the bonnet, refer 
to the corresponding section.

Temporary puncture 
repair kit
Scan the QR code on page 3 to view 
explanatory videos.
Comprising a compressor and a sealant 
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair  of 
a tyre so that you can drive to the nearest 
garage. It is designed to repair most punctures 
which could affect the tyre, located on the 
tyre tread or shoulder.
Its compressor can be used to check and 
adjust the pressure of the tyre.
Access to the kit
This kit is stowed in a tool box.
For more information on the Tool box ,

It is also possible to use the compressor, 
without injecting sealant, to check and, if 
necessary, adjust the tyre pressures.
If after 7
  minutes this pressure is not 
reached, this indicates that the tyre is not 
repairable; contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop for assistance.
Do not drive more than 125 miles (200 km) 
with a repaired tyre; contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop to change 
the tyre.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres 
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise 
the under-inflation detection system.

inspection, the technician will advise you 
on whether the tyre can be repaired or if it 
must be replaced. Fitting a steel or "space-saver" spare 
wheel 
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, 
when tightening the bolts on fitting it is 
normal to notice that the washers do not 
come into contact with the steel or "space-
saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured 
by the conical contact of each bolt.
Some driving aid functions should be 
disabled, e.g. the Active Safety Brake. If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation 
detection, check the tyre pressures and 
reinitialise the system.
For more information on Under-inflation 
detection
, refer to the corresponding 
section.
