AdBlue® range indicators
(BlueHDi)
The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with
a system that associates the SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot
function without AdBlue
® fluid.
When the level of AdBlue® falls below the
reserve level (between 1,500 and 0 miles (2,400
and 0

km)), a warning lamp lights up when
the ignition is switched on and an estimate
of the distance that can be travelled before
engine starting is prevented is displayed in the
instrument panel.
The engine starting prevention system required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is empty.
It is then no longer possible to start the
engine until the minimum level of AdBlue
® has
been topped up.
Manual display of driving range
While the driving range is greater than
1,500 miles (2,400 km), it is not displayed
automatically.
You can view the range information by pressing the " Diagnostic" button

4To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
–

under conditions of poor visibility (snow
,
heavy rain, etc.),
–

if the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty

, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker, etc.),

if the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–


road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
–


vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example: vehicles running behind a safety
barrier on a motorway),
–


vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.

Practical information
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain
functions, such as the air conditioning and the
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Fitting roof bars
Fitting directly to the roof
To install the roof bars, you must secure them
only to the four fixing points on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle's
doors when they are closed.


Use accessories approved by PEUGEOT
and follow the manufacturer's
recommendations and fitting instructions so
as to avoid the risk of damaging the bodywork
(deformation, scratches, etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
load, shown in the instructions for the
roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40
cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road, to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Fitting on longitudinal bars

The transverse bars must be fixed at the
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one side.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and
the stability of the vehicle may be affected.
On a long journey, check the security of the
load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
Bonnet
Opening
► Open the left-hand front door.

► Pull the release lever, located at the bottom
