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.

186
Practical information
The system only registers AdBlue® top-ups of
5 litres or more.
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message
"Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible" – it is
essential to add at least 5 litres.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle
to free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling
road, in an automatic car wash, or being
transported by rail or sea freight, etc.).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
With a manual gearbox and
electric parking brake

Release procedure
► With the engine running and while depressing
the brake pedal, move the gear selector to the
neutral position.
► While depressing the brake pedal, switch off
the ignition.
► Release the brake pedal, then switch on the
ignition again.
► While depressing the brake pedal, press the
control lever to release the parking brake.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when
kept 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. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11
°C. Otherwise the
AdBlue
® may be frozen and so cannot be poured
into its tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never put the AdBlue® into the Diesel
fuel tank.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5
minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver’s door,
unlocking the vehicle, introducing the key
into the ignition switch, or introducing the
key of the “Keyless Entry and Starting

”
system into the passenger compartment

.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
►

Switch off the ignition and remove the key
from the switch to switch off the engine.

►

With a container of

AdBlue
®: after checking
the expiry date, read the instructions on the
label carefully before pouring the contents of the
container

into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.
►

With an


AdBlue® pump: introduce the nozzle
and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically
cuts out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
–
Add between 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue® containers.
–
Stop after the nozzle’ s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.

After changing a wheel
Store the punctured wheel in the boot or,
depending on version, remove the central cover
first to store it beneath the floor in place of the
spare wheel.


With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control,
etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
speed of 50 mph (80
km/h).
Driving with more than one “space-saver”
type spare wheel is prohibited.
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have
the tightness of the bolts and the pressure of
the spare wheel checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
–

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
–


Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
–


When using a high-pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp /
lamp has been switched off for several
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.

202
In the event of a breakdown
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification. To avoid
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.
Refitting the lamp units
Perform the operations in the reverse
order to dismantling.
