Practical information

Procedure

Do not dispose of AdBlue^®containers in

the household waste.

Place them in a container reserved for this

purpose or take them back to where you

bought them.

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 therefore cannot be

poured into its tank. Park your vehicle in a warmer

area for a few hours to allow the top-up to be

carried out.

►ꢀ Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue^®tank a 6^thof a

turn anti-clockwise and remove it.

Free-wheeling

In certain situations, you must allow the vehicle to

free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling road,

in an automatic car wash, or being transported by

rail or sea freight, etc.).

►ꢀ 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: introduce the nozzle

and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically

cuts out.

Never pour AdBlue^®into the Diesel fuel

tank.

The procedure varies according to the type of

gearbox and parking brake.

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.

With manual or EAT6

automatic gearbox and electric

parking brake

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^®top-ups of

5 litres or more.

Important: 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.

Release procedure

►ꢀ With the engine running and while depressing

the brake pedal, move the gear selector to the

neutral position.

►ꢀ While depressing the brake pedal, switch off

the ignition.

►ꢀ Release the brake pedal, then switch on the

ignition again.

►ꢀ While depressing the brake pedal, press the

control lever to release the parking brake.

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 5 litres.

Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10

seconds before starting the engine.

►ꢀ Press the "START/STOP" button to switch off

the engine.

the procedure.

chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint

(including tree resin, bird droppings, insect

secretions, pollen and tar).

If justified by the environment, clean the

vehicle more frequently to remove salty

deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial

estates) and mud (in wet or cold areas). These

substances can be highly corrosive.

Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop if you

require advice on removing stubborn stains

requiring special products (such as tar or

insect removers).

Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed by

a dealer or a qualified workshop.

Reverting to normal operation

Advice on care and

maintenance

General recommendations

Observe the following recommendations to avoid

damaging your vehicle.

Release procedure

►ꢀ With the vehicle stationary and the engine

running, select mode N and switch off the

ignition.

Exterior

Within 5 seconds:

Interior

Never use a high-pressure jet wash in the

engine compartment, due to the risk of

damaging electrical components.

Do not wash the vehicle in strong sunshine or

extremely cold conditions.

►ꢀ Switch on the ignition again.

►ꢀ While depressing the brake pedal, move the

push selector forwards or backwards to confirm

mode N.

►ꢀ While depressing the brake pedal, press the

control lever to release the parking brake.

►ꢀ Release the brake pedal, switch off the

ignition.

When washing the vehicle, never use a

water hose or high-pressure washer to

clean the interior.

Liquids carried in cups or other open

containers can spill, presenting a risk of

damage if they come into contact with the

controls in the dashboard and centre console.

Take care!

When washing the vehicle at an

automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure

to lock the doors and, depending on version,

remove the electronic key and deactivate the

“hands-free” function (“Hands-Free Tailgate

Access”).

When using a pressure washer, hold the lance

at least 30 cm from the vehicle (particularly

when cleaning areas containing chipped paint,

sensors or seals).

If the 5-second time limit is exceeded, the gearbox

engages mode P; it is then necessary to restart

the procedure.

Reverting to normal operation

►ꢀ While depressing the brake pedal, restart the

engine.
