Starting-switching off the engine  
Anti-theft protection  
Ignition switch  
Electronic engine immobiliser  
Ignition on position  
The key contains an electronic chip which has  
a special code. When the ignition is switched  
on, this code must be recognised for engine  
starting to be authorised.  
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the  
engine management system a few minutes  
after the ignition is switched off and prevents  
starting of the engine by anyone who does not  
have the key.  
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric  
equipment or portable devices to be charged.  
Once the state of charge of the battery drops  
to the reserve level, the system switches to  
energy economy mode: the power supply is  
cut off automatically to preserve the remaining  
battery charge.  
It has 3 positions:  
-
position 1 (Stop): insert and removing  
the key.  
In the event of a fault, you are informed  
by illumination of this warning lamp, an  
audible signal and a message in the  
screen.  
In this case, your vehicle will not start;  
contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as  
possible.

In very severe wintry conditions  
(temperatures below -23°C), to ensure  
the correct operation and durability of  
the mechanical components of your  
vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is  
necessary to leave the engine running  
for 4 minutes before moving off.  
Never drive with the parking brake  
applied: risk of overheating and damage  
to the braking system.  
Do not park or leave the engine running  
with the vehicle stationary in areas  
where flammable materials (dry grass,  
dead leaves) might come into contact  
with the hot exhaust system: risk of fire.  
Never leave the vehicle unattended with  
the engine running. If you have to leave  
the vehicle with the engine running,

complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a  
biofuel which complies with standard  
EN 14214) available at the pumps (containing  
up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).  
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel  
engines; however, this use is subject to strict  
application of the special servicing conditions.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
The petrol engines are perfectly compatible  
with E10 type petrol biofuels (containing  
10 % ethanol), conforming to European  
standards EN 228 and EN 15376.  
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)  
are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed  
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex  
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must  
comply with European standard EN 15293.  
For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed  
to run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol  
(E100 type).  
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel

engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.  
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.  
Travelling abroad  
Operation  
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, we recommend that  
you check with the PEUGEOT dealer network,  
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel  
pumps in the country in which you want to  
travel.  
It remains possible to use a fuel can to  
fill the tank.  
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 and pour  
slowly.  
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the  
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes  
into contact with the flap. The system remains  
closed and prevents filling.

AdBlue® additive and SCR system  
for Blue HDi Diesel engines  
To assure respect for the environment and

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 emissions filter (PEF) for the  
treatment of exhaust gases.  
The AdBlue® additive is held in a special

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).  
If the SCR is faulty, the level of  
emissions from your vehicle will longer  
meet the Euro 6 standard: you 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  
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

not be able to start 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.  
When switching on the ignition, the UREA,  
SERVICE and diagnostic warning lamps comes  
on, accompanied by an audible signal and the  
display of a message "Emissions fault" to signal  
a fault with the emissions control system.  
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), when switching on the ignition, 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.  
If it is a temporary fault, the alert  
disappears once the exhaust gas  
emissions return to normal.  
You should go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a  
qualified workshop as soon as possible.  
If you fail to do this, there is a risk that you will  
not be able to start your engine.

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.  
In exceptional circumstances (vehicle  
kept for a long period at temperatures  
that are constantly below -15°C), an  
emissions control system fault alert may  
be related to freezing of the AdBlue® in  
your vehicle.  
Park your vehicle in a warmer area for  
a few hours until the additive becomes  
liquid again.  
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".  
The emissions alert does not go off  
immediately, it will occur after several  
mile of running.  
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 non-drip bottles simplifies toping-  
up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half 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 loose its purity.  
Never top-up from an AdBlue®  
dispenser reserved for heavy goods  
vehicles.

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, by freezing, the AdBlue® 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.  
Additive that has been frozen can be used once  
it has thawed out.

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.
