These range indicators are present only on
BlueHDi Diesel versions.
Once the AdBlue
® tank is on reser ve or after
detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of the risk of non-
starting related to a lack of
AdBlue
®
The engine starting prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is
e m pt y.
AdBlue® range indicators
Range greater than 1,500 miles (2,400 km)
W hen the ignition is switched on, no
information on range is displayed automatically. Pressing this button temporarily displays the
driving range.
With 1.6 BlueHDi (Euro 6.1) engine
Remaining range between 1,500 miles and 500
( 2,400 and 800 km)
Remaining range less than 375 miles (600 km)
Breakdown due to a lack of AdBlue®
The AdBlue® tank is empty: the starting
prevention system required by legislation
prevents starting of the engine.
To be able to restart the engine, it is
essential to add at least 5
litres of AdBlue
®
to its tank.
For more information on AdBlue
®
(BlueHDi engines) , and, in particular,
on topping up, refer to the corresponding
section.
When switching on the ignition, this warning lamp
c omes on, accompanied by an audible signal and
the display of a message (e.g. "Top up AdBlue:
Starting impossible in x miles") indicating the
remaining range expressed in miles or kilometres.
When driving, this message is displayed every
185
miles (300 km) until the fluid level has been
topped up.
The reser ve level has been reached; it is
recommended that you top up as soon as possible.
When switching on the ignition, this warning
lam p flashes, accompanied by the permanent
lighting of the Ser vice warning lamp, an audible
signal and the display of a message (e.g. "Top up
AdBlue: Starting impossible in x miles") indicating
the remaining range expressed in miles or
kilometres.
When driving, this message is displayed every
30
seconds until the AdBlue level has been
topped up. It is essential to top up as soon as possible and
before the tank is completely empty; other wise it
will not be possible to restart the engine after the
next stop.
When switching on the ignition, this warning lamp
flashes, along with the Service warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and the display of
the message "Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible".

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.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® is
topped up as soon as the first alert is
issued indicating that the reser ve level has
been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
-
U
se only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
-
N
ever transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
-
N
ever dilute AdBlue
® with water.
You can obtain AdBlue
® from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can also visit a ser vice station
equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially
designed for private vehicles.
Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
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 additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never keep containers or bottles of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Precautions in use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid 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 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 rinse the mouth with
clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high ambient temperature,
for example), the risk of ammonia being released
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a system
r
equired by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, 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 a distance
of 685
miles (1,100 km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
