Practical information
7Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be
identified by this symbol on their
sidewalls.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is
important to have them regularly checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
The timing and accessory kits are used
from the time the engine is started until it
is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over
time.
A
faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is
reached first.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with
a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special
tank holding about 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 4,000
miles (6,500 km),
which
may vary considerably depending on your
driving style.
An alert system is triggered once the reserve
level is reached: it is then possible to drive for a
further 1,500 miles (2,400
km) before the tank is
empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts
polluting the environment.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
After 685 miles (1,100 km), a device is
automatically activated to prevent the engine
from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is stopped.
Freezing 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.
You can obtain AdBlue
® from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop, as well as service CarM an uals 2 .c o m

cover (not accessible).
(-) Negative terminal with a black quick-release
connector.
Charging the front battery using a
battery charger
For optimum service life of the front battery, it
is essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the front battery:
–
When using the vehicle mainly for short
journeys.
–
If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's front battery yourself, use only a charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage
of 12
V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
►
Switch the ignition off.
►
Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.).
► Switch off charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
►
Ensure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
►
Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►
Connect the cables of charger B
as follows:
•
Positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal on
battery
A.
•
Negative (-) black cable to earth point C
on
the vehicle.
►
At the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B
before disconnecting the cables
from battery A.
Disconnecting/reconnecting the
accessory batteries
Procedure for disconnecting/reconnecting the
accessory batteries in the event of long-term
immobilisation of the vehicle.
Before disconnecting the accessory batteries:
►
Open the driver's door and boot.
►
Close all other doors.
►
Switch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lamps, etc.).
►
Switch off the ignition and wait for the
READY
indicator lamp to go out.
►
Observe a waiting time of 4 minutes.
Never reverse the order of the steps for
disconnecting and reconnecting the
accessory batteries - risk of irreversible
damage!
Disconnection
Rear battery:
► Disconnect the (-)
terminal using the black
quick-release connector.

In the event of a breakdown
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the country where you are driving.
Check that the towing vehicle is heavier than the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a\
valid driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an \
approved towbar; ropes and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine off, there is no longer braking and steering assistance.
A professional recovery service must be called in the following cases:
– broken down on a motorway or main road;
–
not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or re\
lease the parking brake;
–
not possible to tow a vehicle with an automatic gearbox, with the engine\
running;
–
towing with only two wheels on the ground;
–
four-wheel drive vehicle;
–
no approved towbar available.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Before any intervention, with the ignition
on, depress the brake pedal and select mode N, then switch off the hybrid system (READY
indicator lamp off).
Always call on professionals for recovery of
the vehicle on a flatbed lorry or trailer.Use the towing eye only to free the vehicle
if it is stuck, or to secure it for recovery on a
flatbed lorry or trailer.
