containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol 
respectively.
  
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734 
and EN16709 standards and containing up to 
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester 
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even 
occasionally, imposes special maintenance 
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
  
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940 
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, 
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk 
of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only fuel additives authorised for use  are those that meet the B715001 (petrol) 
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the 
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel  fuels could prevent the engine from operating 
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use 
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank 
more than 50   % full.
At temperatures below -15   °C (+5   °F) to avoid 
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle 
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s 
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular 
fuel may be required (specific octane rating, 
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct 
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.

may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the 
cooling fan could start at any time (even with 
the ignition off).
* Depending on engine.
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

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.

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.

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.

Practical information
Leather
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate regular 
care is essential for its durability.
It must be protected and nourished using a 
specific leather product, to keep it supple and 
preserve its original appearance.
Do not clean leather using unsuitable 
cleaning agents such as solvents, 
detergents, petrol or pure alcohol.
When cleaning items partly made from 
leather, take care not to damage the other 
materials with the specific leather product.
Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids, 
quickly mop up any surplus.
Before cleaning, wipe off any residues liable 
to scuff the leather, using a cloth that has 
been dampened with demineralised water 
and thoroughly wrung out.
Clean leather using a soft cloth moistened 
with soapy water or a pH-neutral product.
Dry with a soft, dry cloth.
Promptly clean up any stains containing 
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint 
(including tree resin, bird droppings, insect 
secretions, pollen and tar).
If justified by the environment, clean the 
vehicle more frequently to remove salty 
deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial 
estates) and mud (in wet or cold areas). 
These substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop if you require advice on removing 
stubborn stains requiring special products 
(such as tar or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a 
water hose or high-pressure washer to 
clean the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open 
containers can spill, presenting a risk of 
damage if they come into contact with the 
controls in the dashboard and centre console. 
Take care!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products or 
solvents, petrol or oil to clean the 
bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean 
stubborn stains. Risk of scratching the 
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to 
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft sponge and soapy water or a 
pH neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean 
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on 
the product.
Textured paint
This type of paint reacts under the effect of 
light, through variations in appearance and 
finish that highlight the lines and contours of the 
vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that 
remain visible and create a unique satin effect 
with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a 
surprising touch.
Never attempt to clean without water.
Never clean your vehicle in an automatic 
roller-brush car wash.
Never select the programme with hot wax 
finish.
Never use high-pressure lances equipped 
with brushes - risk of scratching paint!
Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to 
the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products 
irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.
Choose high-pressure wash, or at least 
high-flow water jet.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Only a clean microfibre cloth
  is recommended 
for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle 
without rubbing.
Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the 
bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.
Clean off minor marks (for example, finger 
marks), using a maintenance product 
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Decals
(Depending on version)
Do not use a high pressure washer to 
clean the vehicle. Risk of damaging or 
detaching the decals!
Use a high-flow hose at a temperature 
between 25°C and 40°C.
Sweep the jet of water across the surface to 
be cleaned, perpendicular to it.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
