Practical information
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type 
filler nozzle.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill 
the tank slowly.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do 
not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct 
contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention 
device.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be 
different in other countries, the presence 
of the misfuel prevention device may make 
refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to 
check with a PEUGEOT dealer if the vehicle 
is suitable for the distribution equipment of the 
countries visited.
Charging system 
(Electric)
400 V electrical system
The electric drive system, which operates at a 
voltage of approximately 400   V, is identified by 
orange cables and its components are marked 
with this symbol:
 
 
An electric vehicle’s power train can  become hot during use and after 
switching off the ignition.
Comply with the warning messages shown 
on the labels, particularly inside the charging 
flap.
High voltage system voltage is 
dangerous and can cause burns or other 
injuries or even fatal electric shock.
Since damage to high voltage components is 
not visible, PEUGEOT recommends that you:
–
 
Never touch the components, damaged 
or not, and never let your jewelry or other 
metallic objects come into contact with these 
components.
–
 
Never work on the orange high voltage 
cables or on any other high voltage 
component marked with the Electric risk label.

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in 
accordance with the Manufacturer's service 
schedule. Top them up if required, unless 
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the 
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
7Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to 
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake 
pads for wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be 
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill. 
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed 
container.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to  the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the 
vehicle parked on level ground and with the 
engine cold, by reading the level on the filler 
neck.
Engine coolant
(Diesel)
It is normal to top up this fluid between 
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with 
the engine cold.
A level of coolant that is too low risks causing 
major damage to the engine; the coolant level 
must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever 
going above it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN" mark, it 
is essential to top it up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the 
coolant is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at 
least one hour after switching off the engine 
before carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need 
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around 
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to 
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap 
and top up to the required level.
Vehicle with electric motorDo 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.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when  necessary.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed 
product.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid 
containing an anti-freeze agent which is 
appropriate for the temperature conditions 
must be used in order to protect the system's 
components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).
Filling with pure water is prohibited in all 
circumstances (risk of freezing, 
limescale, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel 
with particle filter)
On reaching the minimum level in 
the particle filter additive tank, one 
of these warning lamps comes on fixed, 
accompanied by an audible signal and a warning 
message.
Topping up
The topping up of this additive must be carried 
out quickly.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is 
reached.
For more information on the  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.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
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 20 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of 
approximately 3,000
  miles (5,000   km) (which 
may vary considerably  depending on your 
driving style and the vehicle). An alert system 
is automatically triggered when the remaining 
range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400
  km), i.e. once 
the reserve level has been reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during 
the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400
  km) until the 
tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
If the estimated distance travelled by the vehicle 
between two services is greater than 3,000
  miles 
(5,000
 
km), it will be necessary to top up the 
AdBlue.
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 as 
soon as possible. 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 immobilised.
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.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m  

197
Practical information
7Never top up from an AdBlue® dispenser 
reserved for heavy goods 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.
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, inserting the key 
into the ignition switch, or bringing the 
key for the "Keyless Entry and Start" 
system 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.
or
►
 
With the Keyless Entry and Start system, 
press the "
START/STOP" button to switch off the 
engine.
Accessing the AdBlue® tank
