AdBlue® range indicators 
(BlueHDi)
The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with 
a system that associates the SCR (Selective 
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system 
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the 
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot 
function  without AdBlue
®fluid.
When the level of AdBlue® falls below the 
reserve level (between 1,500 miles and 0 miles 
(2,400 and 0
 
km)), a warning lamp lights up 
when the ignition is switched on and an estimate 
of the distance that can be travelled before 
engine starting is prevented is displayed in the 
instrument panel.
The engine starting prevention system  required by regulations is activated 
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is empty. 
It is then no longer possible to start the 
engine until the minimum level of AdBlue
® has 
been topped up.
Manually displaying the driving range
While the driving range is greater than 
1,500 miles (2,400   km), it is not displayed 
automatically.

Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or  fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and 
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved 
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine  having been switched off for at least 30 
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil 
level indicator in the instrument panel when the 
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped 
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two 
services (or oil changes). It is recommended 
that you check the level, and top up if necessary, 
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emissions control system, 
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer 
to the illustration of the corresponding engine 
compartment.
►
 
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and 
pull it out completely
.
►
 
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, 
lint-free cloth.
 
 
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, 
then pull it out again to visually check the oil 
level: the correct level is between marks  A
  (max) 
and B (min).
Do not start the engine  if the level is:
–
 
above mark 
 A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
–
 
below mark  B
: top up the engine oil 
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine 
oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine 
and complies with the recommendations in 
the service schedule supplied with the vehicle    

182
Practical information
For more information on the Indicators and in 
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to 
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in 
accordance with regulations, you must top up the 
AdBlue tank.

the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these 
components in accordance with the 
manufacturer's service schedule and according 
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent 
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of 
components as important as those in the 
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers 
very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any  maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals 
are correctly tightened (versions without quick 
(or available from your PEUGEOT dealer and 
qualified workshops).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate 
the contractual warranty in the event of 
engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please 
refer to the corresponding under-bonnet engine 
compartment illustration.
►
 
Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills 
on engine components (risk of fire).
►
 
W
 ait a few minutes before checking the level 
again using the dipstick.
►
 
T
 op up the level if necessary.
►
 
After checking the level, carefully screw the 
oil filler cap back on
  and replace the dipstick in 
its tube.
Within 30 minutes of adding oil, the oil 
level indication in the instrument panel 
when the ignition is switched on is not valid. 
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to  the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake 
pad wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be 
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill. 
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed 
container.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between 
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with 
the engine cold.
A low level presents a risk of serious damage to 
the engine.
The level of this fluid should be close to the 
"MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN” mark, it 
is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this 
fluid is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at 
least one hour after switching off the engine 
before carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need 
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around 
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to 
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap 
and top up to the required level.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when  necessary.
Capacity of the tank:
–
 
5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.
– 2.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use 
mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid 
containing an agent to prevent freezing must 
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing 
conditions, in order to protect the elements of the 
system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under 
all circumstances (risk of freezing, 
limestone deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel 
with particle  filter)
On reaching the minimum level in the 
particle filter additive tank, this warning 
lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an 
audible warning and a message warning that the 
additive level is too low.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up without delay by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is 
reached.

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment 
filter
Depending on the environment and the 
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter 
can adversely affect air conditioning 
system performance and generate 
undesirable odours.

use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, 
city driving), change it twice as often, if 
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine 
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of  saturation of the particle filter 
is signalled by the temporary illumination 
of this warning lamp, accompanied by a 
message warning of the risk of the filter clogging 
up.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, 
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at 
least 37
  mph (60   km/h) until the warning lamp 
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this 
indicates a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on  Checking levels, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the 
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you 
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the 
emission of water vapour at the exhaust on 
acceleration. This does not affect the 
behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
New vehicle
The first particle filter regeneration 
operations may be accompanied by a 
"burning" smell, which is perfectly normal.

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.    

195
In the event of a breakdown
8Only the 12 V sockets located at the 
front  of the vehicle and in the boot  can 
be used to power the compressor.
The 12
  V socket located at the back of the 
centre console is not suitable for this purpose.
► Affix the speed limit sticker .
The speed limit sticker must be affixed 
inside the vehicle in the area close to the 
driver, to remind them that a wheel is in 
temporary use.
The tyre inflation pressures are given on  this label.
 
 
► Switch the ignition on. 
 
► Switch on the compressor by moving the 
switch to position " I
" until the tyre pressure 
reaches 2 bar. The sealant product is injected 
under pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect 
the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk 
of blowback).
If after approximately 7 minutes, the 
pressure of 2 bar is not reached, this 
indicates that the tyre is not repairable; 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop for assistance.
►
 
Move the switch to position " O
".
►
 
Disconnect the compressor's electric plug 
from the vehicle's 12
  V socket.
►
 
Remove the kit.
►
 
Refit the cap on the valve.
►
 
Remove and store the bottle of sealant.
The sealant product is harmful if  swallowed and causes irritation to the 
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on the 
bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle in 
standard waste, take it to a PEUGEOT dealer 
or an authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of 
sealant, available from a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
 
 
► Drive immediately for approximately 3   miles 
(5   kilometres) at reduced speed (between 
12 and 37 mph (20 and 60
  km/h)) to plug the 
puncture.
►
 
Stop to check the repair 
 and the tyre 
pressure  using the kit.
With a tyre repaired using this type of kit, 
do not exceed a speed of 50
  mph 
(80
 
km/h) and do not drive more than 
125
 
miles (200   km).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the tyre changed.
Checking/adjusting tyre 
pressures
The compressor can be used,  without injecting 
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the 
tyre pressures.
►
 
Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep 
it in a clean place.
►
 
Uncoil 
 the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►
 
Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten 
firmly
