shown in succession on the instrument
panel.
►

Y

ou can revert to automatic operation at any
time by pressing button M again.
The indicator lamp for the button goes off.
In manual mode, there is no need to
release the accelerator pedal while
changing gear.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit.
If the engine speed is too low or too high,
the selected gear flashes for a few
seconds, then the gear actually engaged is
shown.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very
slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear
M1.
To preserve the brakes while descending a steep incline, use engine braking to
reduce your speed (change down or select a
lower gear).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed
continuously for long periods can overheat
the brakes, with the risk of damaging the
braking system or making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow
or stop the vehicle.
Depending on the road configuration
(e.g. mountainous road), manual
operation may be preferable.
Automatic operation may not always be
suitable, and does not enable engine braking.

Practical information
You can also visit a service station equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially
designed for private vehicles.
Never top up from an AdBlue® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods 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.
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.
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.
