Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine, you can still
use functions such as the audio and telematic
system, the wipers and the dipped beam
headlamps or courtesy lamps, for a combined
duration of approximately 40 minutes.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when
energy economy mode is entered, and the active
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–

For less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
–


For more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
T

o recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or
continuously restarting the engine.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.
For more information on the 12
V battery,
refer to the corresponding section.

Practical information
7Never 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 the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never pour the AdBlue® into the Diesel
fuel tank.
For specific information about how to
access the AdBlue tank, refer to the
detailed descriptions below.
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.
Access to the AdBlue®
A blue cap under the fuel filler flap indicates
access to the AdBlue® tank.

– Switch off the ignition and remove the key .
► T urn the AdBlue® tank's blue filler cap
anti-clockwise.
►

Obtain an

AdBlue
® container (check the
use-by date) and pour the contents of the
container into your vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
Or

148
Practical information
► Insert the AdBlue® pump nozzle and refill the
tank until the nozzle stops automatically.
Important:
To avoid overfilling the AdBlue® tank, it is
recommended:
►

T

o top up between 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue
® containers.
Or
►

When filling at a service station, to stop
after the third automatic cut-off of the nozzle.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle
to free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling
road, in an automatic car wash, or being
transported by rail or sea freight, etc.).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
With a manual gearbox and
electric parking brake

Reverting to normal operation
► While depressing the brake pedal, restart the
engine.
Keyless Entry and Starting
You must not depress the brake pedal
while switching the ignition on or off. If you do,
the engine will start, requiring you to restart
the procedure.
Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment - risk of
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
move the electronic key away and deactivate

156
In the event of a breakdown
► Remove the kit and stow it.
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
(80 km/h) max.), limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 125 miles
(200
km).
Removing the pipe and
cartridge


► Turn the pipe assembly 2 to the left until it
comes into contact with the unit.
►

Disconnect the connector 1

from the cartridge
by turning it a quarter turn anti-clockwise.
►

Pull the pipe assembly 2

out slightly, then
disconnect the connector 3 from the air intake
pipe by turning it a quarter turn anti-clockwise.


– Remove the pipe assembly 2 .
– Keep the compressor vertical.
–

Unscrew the cartridge 4

from the bottom.
To fit the new cartridge and new pipe, carry out
these operations in reverse order.
Be careful of fluid discharge.
The expiry date of the fluid is indicated
on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed for single
use; it must be replaced even if only partly
used.
After use, do not discard the cartridge into the
environment, take it to an authorised waste
disposal site or a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from PEUGEOT dealers
or from a qualified workshop.
Checking/adjusting tyre
pressures
Use the compressor, without injecting
any sealant, to check and, if necessary,
adjust the tyre pressures.


► Turn selector A to the "Inflation"
position.
►

Uncoil the white pipe G

fully.
►

Connect the pipe to the tyre valve.
►


Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12V socket.
Only the 12V socket located at the front
of the vehicle can be used.
►

Restart the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on this label.
► Adjust the pressure using the compressor
(to inflate: set switch B to position "I"; to deflate:
set switch B to position "O" and press button C),
following the vehicle's tyre pressure label.
If, after approximately seven minutes,
this pressure is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is irreparable; contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.
► Remove the kit and stow it.
Do not drive more than 125 miles
(200 km) with a repaired tyre; see a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the tyre changed.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
