Practical information
warning lamp comes on temporarily,
accompanied by a message warning of the risk
of lter clogging.
As soon as the tra󰀩c conditions permit,
regenerate the lter by driving at a speed of at
least 37 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes o󰀨.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the exhaust while
accelerating. This has no impact on the
vehicle’s behaviour or the environment.
New vehicle
During the rst few particle lter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Screenwash uid
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specication
The uid 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),

battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
tted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
