2023 PEUGEOT 508 adblue

168
Practical information
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
stations 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 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.
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.

169
Practical information
7Important: 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.
►

Press the "
START/STOP" button to switch off
the engine.


► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-
clockwise and remove it.
►

With a container of

AdBlue
®: after checking
the expiry date, read the instructions on the
label carefully before pouring the contents of the
container into the vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
►
With an
AdBlue® pump: insert the nozzle and
fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts
out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
–
Add between 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue® containers.
– Stop after the nozzle’ s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
The system only registers AdBlue
®
intermediate top-ups of 5

litres or more.
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message
“Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible ” – it is
essential to add at least 10
litres.
Top-up detection may not be instantaneous
after addition. It may take a few minutes of
driving before the top-up detection is effective.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, it is necessary to put the
vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on
a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),
rail or sea transport).
Never leave the vehicle unattended with
the vehicle into free-wheeling mode.
/
Release procedure
With the vehicle stationary and the engine
running:
►

Depress and hold the brake pedal.
►


Select and hold the mode

N
on the push
selector.
► Press the START/STOP button around 1 s to
switch off the engine (confirmed by the flashing
of the P and N indicator lights).
►

Release the brake pedal to switch on the
ignition and deactivate the electric parking brake.
A message is displayed on the instrument panel to confirm the unlocking
of the wheels for 15
minutes.
When the vehicle is free-wheeling, the
audio system cannot be updated (message
displayed on the instrument panel).
After 15 minutes or reverting to normal
operation
► While depressing the brake pedal, restart the
engine and select mode P .
Keyless Entry and Start
You must not depress the brake pedal
while switching the ignition on again, then
switching it off. If you do, the engine will start,
requiring you to restart the procedure.
