Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

components.

Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty

atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.

city driving), replace them twice as often if

necessary.

A clogged passenger compartment filter may

have an adverse effect on the performance

of the air conditioning system and generate

undesirable odours.

12 V battery

As soon as the traffic conditions permit,

regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at

least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp

goes off.

The battery does not require any maintenance.

However, check that the terminals are clean

and correctly tightened, particularly in summer

and winter.

If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a

low additive level.

When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the

"12 V battery" section for details of the precautions to be

taken before disconnecting the battery and following its

reconnection.

For more information on checking levels, refer

to the corresponding section.

Oil filter

On a new vehicle, the first particle

filter regeneration operations may be

accompanied by a "burning" smell,

which is perfectly normal.

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 on acceleration. This does

not affect the behaviour of the vehicle

or the environment.

Replace the oil filter each time the

engine oil is changed.

Refer to the manufacturer's

service schedule for details of

the replacement interval for this

component.

The presence of this label, in particular

with the Stop & Start system, indicates

the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid

battery with special technology and

specification. The involvement of

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop is essential when replacing or

disconnecting the battery.

of driving, particularly in the case

of vehicles used in town, over short

distances. It may be necessary to

have the condition of the brakes checked, even

between vehicle services.

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in

the brake fluid level indicates that the brake

pads are worn.

In order to optimise the operation of

units as important as those in the

braking system, PEUGEOT selects and

offers very specific products.

After washing the vehicle, dampness,

or in wintry conditions, ice can form

on the brake discs and pads: braking

efficiency may be reduced. Make light

brake applications to dry and defrost

the brakes.

Checks

AdBlue^®additive and SCR system

for BlueHDi Diesel engines

To assure respect for the environment and

conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions

standard, without adversely affecting the

performance or fuel consumption of Diesel

engines, PEUGEOT has taken the decision to

equip its vehicles with an effective system that

associates SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)

with a particle filter (FAP) for the treatment of

exhaust gases.

The AdBlue^®additive is held in a special

Once the AdBlue^®tank is empty,

a system required by regulations

prevents starting of the engine.

If the SCR is faulty, the level of

emissions from your vehicle will no

longer meet the Euro 6 standard: your

vehicle becomes polluting.

In the event of a confirmed fault

with the SCR system, you must go

to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop as soon as possible: after

a running distance of 650 miles

tank located under the boot at the rear of

the vehicle. It has a capacity of 17 litres: this

provides a driving range of about 12 500 miles

(20 000 km), after which an alert is triggered

warning you when the reserve remaining is

enough for just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).

During each scheduled service of your vehicle

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,

the AdBlue^®additive tank is refilled in order to

allow normal operation of the SCR system.

Presentation of the SCR system

Using an additive called AdBlue^®containing

urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%

of nitrous oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and

water, which are harmless to health and the

environment.

(1 100 km), a system will be triggered

automatically to prevent engine starting.

If the estimated mileage between two services

is greater than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we

recommend that you go to a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualified workshop to have the necessary

top-up carried out.

Checks

Range indicators

Once the AdBlue^®tank is on reserve or after

detection of a fault with the SCR emissions

control system, when the ignition is switched

on, an indicator displays an estimate of the

distance that can be covered, the range, before

engine starting is prevented.

In the event of simultaneous system fault and

low AdBlue^®level, the shortest range figure is

the one displayed.

In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue^®

The engine start prevention system

required by regulations is activated

automatically once the AdBlue^®tank is

empty.

Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)

When the ignition is switched on, no

information on range is displayed automatically

in the instrument panel.

Pressing this button displays the driving range

temporarily.

Above 3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not

specified.

Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue^®additive

When switching on the ignition, the UREA

warning lamp comes on, accompanied

by an audible signal and the display of a

message (e.g.: "Top up emissions additive:

Starting prevented in 900 miles") indicating

the remaining range expressed in miles or

kilometres.

When switching on the ignition, the SERVICE

warning lamp comes on and the UREA warning

lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible

signal and the display of a message (e.g. "Top

up emissions additive: Starting prevented in

350 miles") indicating the remaining range

expressed in miles or kilometres.

When switching on the ignition, the SERVICE

warning lamp comes on and the UREA warning

lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible

signal and the display of the message "Top up

emissions additive: Starting prevented".

The AdBlue^®tank is empty: the system required

by regulations prevents engine starting.

When driving, the message is displayed every

200 miles (300 km) until the additive tank has

been topped-up.

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the AdBlue^®tank topped-up.

You can also top-up the tank yourself.

For more information on topping-up the

AdBlue^®additive, refer to the corresponding

section.

When driving, the message is displayed every

30 seconds until the additive tank has been

topped-up.

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the AdBlue^®tank topped-up.

You can also top-up the tank yourself.

Otherwise you will not be able to restart your

engine.

To be able to start the engine,

we recommend that you call on a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop for the top-up required.

If you carry out the top-up yourself, it

is essential to add at least 3.8 litres of

AdBlue^®to the tank.

Checks

In the event of the detection of a fault

During an authorised driving phase (between

650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)

In the event of a fault with the

SCR emissions control system

A system that prevents engine starting

is activated automatically from

650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation

of a fault with the SCR emissions

control system. Have the system

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop as soon as possible.

The UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning

lamps comes on, accompanied by an audible

signal and the display of the message

"Emissions fault".

The alert is triggered when driving when the

fault is detected for the first time, then when

switching on the ignition for subsequent

journeys, while the fault persists.

If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed

(after 30 miles (50 km) covered with the

permanent display of the message signalling

a fault), the SERVICE and engine diagnostic

warning lamps come on and the UREA

warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an

audible signal and the display of a message

(e.g.: "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in

150 miles") indicating the remaining range

express in miles or kilometres.

While driving, the message is displayed every

30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system

persists.

The alert is repeated when switching on the

ignition.

You should go to a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

Otherwise, you will not be able to restart your

engine.

If it is a temporary fault, the alert

disappears during the next journey,

after self-diagnosis of the SCR system.

Checks

Starting prevented

Freezing of the AdBlue^®additive

The AdBlue^®additive 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.

Every time the ignition is switched on, the

SERVICE and engine diagnostic warning

lamps come on and the UREA warning lamp

flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and

the display of the message "Emissions fault:

Starting prevented".

You have exceeded the authorised

driving limit: the starting prevention

system inhibits engine starting.

Checks

Topping-up the AdBlue^®additive

Filling the AdBlue^®tank is an operation

included in every routine service on your

vehicle by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Nevertheless, given the capacity of the tank,

it may be necessary to top-up the additive

between services, more particularly if an alert

(warning lamps and a message) signals the

requirement.

You can got to a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

If you envisage topping-up yourself, please

read the following warnings carefully.

Precautions in use

The AdBlue^®additive is an urea-based

solution. This liquid is non-flammable,

colourless and odourless (kept in a cool area).

In the event of contact with the skin, wash

the affected area with soap and water. In the

event of contact with the eyes, wash (irrigate)

the eyes with large amounts of water or with

an eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes.

If a burning sensation or irritation persists, get

medical attention.

Use only AdBlue^®additive that meets the

ISO 22241 standard.

Never dilute the additive with water.

Never pour the additive into the Diesel

fuel tank.

If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth

with clean water and then drink plenty of water.

In certain conditions (high ambient

temperature, for example), the risk of release

of ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale

the product. Ammonia vapour has en irritant

effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and

throat).

The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies

toping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a US

gallon) bottles from a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Keep AdBlue^®out of the reach of

children, in its original bottle.

Never transfer AdBlue^®to another

container: it would lose its purity.

Never top-up from an AdBlue^®

dispenser reserved for heavy goods

vehicles.

198

Checks

Recommendations on storage

Procedure

AdBlue^®freezes at about -11°C and

deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended

that bottles be stored in a cool area and

protected from direct sunlight.

Under these conditions, the additive can be

kept for at least a year.

Before topping-up, 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 its tank. Park your

vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to

allow the top-up to be carried out.

If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it

has completely thawed out.

F

Switch off the ignition and remove the key.

Never store bottles of AdBlue^®in your

vehicle.

F

Place the adjustable boot floor at an angle

(see the "Fittings" section) and raise the

boot floor for access to the AdBlue^®tank.

Secure the boot floor by attaching its

cords to the hooks on the load space cover

support.

9

F

Unclip the black plastic blanking plug using

a lever.

Insert your fingers into the aperture and

turn the blue cap a 6^thof a turn anti-

clockwise.

F

Carefully lift off the cap, without dropping it.

199

Checks

F

After emptying the bottle, wipe away any

spillage around the tank filler using a damp

cloth.

Important: in the event of a top-up

after a breakdown because of a lack

of additive, signalled by the message

"Top up emissions additive: Starting

prevented", you must wait around

5 minutes before switching on the ignition,

without opening the driver's door,

locking the vehicle or introducing the

key into the ignition switch.

If any additive is split or splashed, wash

immediately with cold water or wipe with

a damp cloth.

If the additive has crystallised, clean it

off using a sponge and hot water.

F

Obtain a bottle of AdBlue^®. After first

checking the use-by date, read carefully

the instructions on use on the label before

pouring the contents of the bottle into your

vehicle's AdBlue^®tank.

Switch on the ignition, then, after

10 seconds, start the engine.

F

Refit the blue cap to the tank and turn it

a 6^thof a turn clockwise, to its stop.

Refit the black plastic blanking plug,

clipping it in place.

Lower the boot floor and the adjustable

floor.

Never dispose of AdBlue^®additive

bottles in the household waste. Place

them in a special container provided

this purpose or take them to your dealer.

Important: if your vehicle's AdBlue^®

tank is completely empty - which is

confirmed by the alert messages

and the impossibility of starting the

engine - you must add at least 3.8 litres

(so two 1.89 litre bottles).
