Freezing of 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 all weather conditions.
Topping up with AdBlue®
Before topping up, please read the 
following warnings carefully.
Precautions in use
In certain conditions (high ambient 
temperature, for example), the risk of ammonia 
being released cannot be discounted: do not 
inhale the fluid. Ammonia vapour has an irritant 
effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and 
throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of reach of children, in 
its original container or bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another 
container: it would lose its purity.
Use only AdBlue
® liquid that meets the 
ISO 
22241 standard.
AdBlue
® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is 
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (kept 
in a cool area).
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. If a burning sensation or irritation 
persists, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately rinse the mouth with 
clean water and then drink plenty of water.Never dilute AdBlue® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel tank.
Containers or bottles are available from a 
PEUGEOT   dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can also visit a ser vice station 
equipped with AdBlue pumps specially 
designed for passenger vehicles and light 
goods vehicles. Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser 
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes below around -11°C and 
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended 
that bottles or containers are stored in a cool 
place 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 at ambient 
temperature.
Never store bottles or containers of 
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Do not dispose of AdBlue
® bottles or 
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container provided for 
this purpose or take them to your dealer.
