Practical information
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance 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 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 5,600 miles (9,000 km), highly
dependent on your driving style.
An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reserve level is reached: you can then drive
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
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.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
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.
Under-inflation 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 performance 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.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the
tyres.
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.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road-holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is
important to have them regularly checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
Timing and accessory kits are used from
the time the engine is started until it is
switched off. It is normal for them to wear over
time.
A
faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is
reached first.

Practical information
7AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance 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 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 5,600
miles (9,000 km), highly
dependent on your driving style.
An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reserve level is reached: you can then drive
for a further 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the
tank is empty and the vehicle disabled.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a
system required by regulations prevents
starting of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty
, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard: the 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 the
distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is immobilised.
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® be topped
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating
that the reserve level has been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
–
Use
only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
–
Never
transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
–
Never
dilute AdBlue
® with water.
AdBlue
® can be obtained from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can also visit a service station equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles.
Storage recommendations
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area 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 in the ambient air.
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.

connector.
Charging the front battery
using a battery charger
For optimum service life of the front battery, it
is essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the front battery:
–
using the vehicle mainly for short journeys;
–
if the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's front battery yourself, use only a charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage
of 12
V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
►
Switch off the ignition.
►
Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).
► Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
►
Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
►
Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►
Connect the cables of charger B
as follows:
•
the positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal
of battery
A,
•
the negative (-) black cable to earth point C
on the vehicle.
►
At the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B
before disconnecting the cables
from battery A.
Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified workshop
who will verify that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the case
has not cracked, which would mean a risk of
toxic and corrosive acid leaking.
Disconnection /
reconnection of the
batteries
Procedure for disconnecting / reconnecting the
batteries in the event of long-term immobilisation
of the vehicle.
Before disconnecting the batteries:
►
Close all openings (doors, boot, windows,
roof).
►
Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
►
Switch
off the ignition and wait for the READY
indicator lamp to go out.
►
Observe a waiting time of 4 minutes.
Disconnection
Never reverse the order of the
disconnection steps - risk of irreversible
damage!
►
Disconnect the (-)
terminal of the rear battery
using the black quick-release connector.
► Disconnect the (+) terminal of the front
battery by disconnecting the red quick-release
clamp: • Raise lever A fully to release clamp B.
• Remove clamp B by lifting it off.
