Driving
A load that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle may affect vehicle handling and create a
risk of accident.
If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back, the
height and width of the load must remain within
the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
Drive the vehicle in a prudent and efficient
way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving allows you to save energy;
accelerate gradually, anticipate the need to slow
down and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance so
that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to the
engine or gearbox, as well as to your vehicle's
electrical systems.
If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a
flooded section of road:
►
Check that the depth of the water does not
exceed 15
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users.
►
Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
►
Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10
km/h).
►
Do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow
, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Noise (Electric)
On the outside
Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when
driving, the driver must pay particular attention.
When manoeuvring, the driver must always
check the vehicle's immediate surroundings.
At speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h), the
pedestrian horn warns other road users of the
vehicle’s presence.
Cooling the traction battery
The cooling fan comes on during
charging to cool the on-board charger.
On the inside
During use, you may hear certain perfectly
normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such
as:
–
T
raction battery relay when starting.
–
V
acuum pump when braking.
–
V
ehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.
–
Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower
air density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).

Practical information
7Check the coolant level regularly
according to how much you use your
vehicle (every 3,000 miles (5,000 km)/3
months).
(Electric)
Do not top up the coolant.
If the level is close to or below
the
"MIN" mark, it is essential to contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Heating circuit fluid
( Electric)
Do not top up the heating circuit fluid.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
washer fluid
To check the level or top up this fluid on vehicles fitted with headlamp washers,
immobilise the vehicle and switch off the engine.
Reservoir capacity: approximately 5.5 litres.
To access the filler cap, pull the telescopic filler
neck and unclip the cap.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use
mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
containing an agent to prevent freezing must
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing
conditions, in order to protect the elements of the
system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under
all circumstances (risk of freezing,
limestone deposits, etc.).
AdBlue (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is
reached.
For more information on Indicators and in
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in
accordance with regulations, you must top up the
AdBlue tank.
For more information on AdBlue
® (BlueHDi),
and in particular on the supply of AdBlue, refer to
the corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals
are correctly tightened (versions without quick
release terminals) and that the connections are
clean.

Practical information
7Manual 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.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads
are worn.
If this warning lamp comes on, have the
brake pads checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel
or decreased effectiveness, the parking brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel filter
The Diesel fuel filter is located in the engine
compartment near the brake fluid reservoir.
If this warning lamp comes on, bleed the
filter.
You can also bleed it regularly at each engine oil
change.
Bleeding the water in the filter
► Couple a clear hose to the bleed screw
1 head.
►
Place the other end of the clear hose in a
container
.
► Loosen bleed screw 2 .
► Switch on the ignition.
►
W
ait for the scavenge pump to stop.
►
Switch off the ignition.
►
T
ighten bleed screw 2.
►
Remove, then drain the clear hose and the
container
.
►
Start the engine.
►
Check that there are no leaks.
HDi engines make use of advanced
technology. Any intervention requires a
special qualification guaranteed by the
PEUGEOT
dealer network or a qualified
workshop .
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident!

Practical information
7Freezing of the 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 very cold conditions.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating
that the reserve level has been reached.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
–
Use
only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
–
Never
transfer AdBlue
® to another container
as it would lose its purity.
–
Never dilute
AdBlue
® with water.
It is possible to obtain AdBlue
® from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can also visit a service station equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
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 at room temperature.
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
an AdBlue breakdown, you must wait
about 5
minutes before switching on the
ignition, without opening the driver's door,
unlocking the vehicle or bringing the
electronic key 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.

Reservoir
Regularly check and top up the engine oil level.
Change the oil once a year. If the oil contains
water, change it.
Regularly check the condition of the hose and
ensure the hydraulic system is properly sealed.
Pump and motor
No servicing required. The rolling elements are
permanently lubricated and the bearings are
lubricated by the pumped oil.
Lubrication
The pins of the tipper truck and the ram do not
contain lubricant. Regularly lubricate the hinges
and the grab handles of the side boards as well
as the retaining hooks of the rear board.
Sub-frame and tipper truck
For maximum service life, you are advised to
maintain your tipper truck by regularly washing it
using a power washer.
Carry out any required paint touch-ups quickly to
prevent the spread of rust.
After 8 months of use, check the tightening torque of the connection
between the chassis and the underbody (in
accordance with the manufacturer's
bodybuilding recommendations).
