Practical information
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 while 
accelerating. This has no impact on the 
vehicle’s behaviour or the environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter 
regeneration operations, you may notice a 
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any  maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
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.
Filling with pure water is prohibited under 
all circumstances (risk of freezing, 
limestone deposits, etc.).

Practical information
7Precautions 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.
or
►
 
With Keyless Entry and Starting, press the 
"
START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.
 
 
► With the vehicle unlocked and the fuel filler 
flap open, turn the blue cap of the  AdBlue® tank 
anti-clockwise and remove it.
►
 
With a container of 
AdBlue
®: after checking 
the expiry date, read carefully the instructions 
on the label 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 automatic cut-off of the 
nozzle.
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.
If  the AdBlue® tank is completely empty 
– which is confirmed by the “Top 
up
 
AdBlue: Starting impossible” message – it 
is essential to add at least 5 litres.
After refilling
► Refit the blue cap to the tank filler and turn it 
clockwise, as far as it will go.
►
 
Close the fuel filler flap.
Do not dispose of AdBlue® bottles or 
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this 
purpose or take them back to where you 
purchased them.

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 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 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.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
