Practical information
Supply of AdBlue
®
It is recommended that the AdBlue
®
be topped
up as soon as the rst alert is issued indicating
that the reserve level has been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
– Use only AdBlue
®
uid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
– Never transfer AdBlue
®
to another
container: it would lose its purity.
– Never dilute AdBlue
®
with water.
AdBlue
®
can be obtained from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualied workshop.
Storage recommendations
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 uid can be kept for
at least a year.
If the uid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out in the ambient air.
Never store AdBlue
®
containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue
®
is a urea-based solution. This uid is
non-ammable, colourless and odourless (when
kept in a cool place).
less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the
tyres.
Using di󰀨erent size wheels and tyres from those
specied can a󰀨ect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse e󰀨ect on road
holding.
Fitting di󰀨erent tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
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 qualied workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
Timing and accessory kits are used from
the time the engine is started until it is
switched o󰀨. 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 rst.
AdBlue
®
(BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely a󰀨ecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR System SCR
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 15 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 5,600 miles (9,000 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 blocked.
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
system required by legislation prevents
starting of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard: the vehicle becomes
polluting.
In the event of a conrmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualied workshop.
After 680 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.
