Checks

Quality of the fuel used for

petrol engines

Quality of the fuel used for

Diesel engines

DIESEL

The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible

with biofuels which conform to current and

future European standards (Diesel fuel which

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

(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,

domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of

damage to the engine and fuel system).

Checks

Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*

Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of

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.

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type

filler nozzle.

non-fluffy cloth.

Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then

pull it out again to make the visual check:

the correct level is between the marks A

and B.

To ensure that the reading is correct, your

vehicle must be parked on a level surface with

the engine having been off for more than

30 minutes.

It is normal to top up the oil level between

two services (or oil changes). PEUGEOT

recommends that you check the level, and top

up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).

If you find that the level is above the A mark or

below the B mark, do not start the engine.

Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

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

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.

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.

AdBlue^®additive and SCR system

for Blue HDi 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 emissions filter (PEF) for the

treatment of exhaust gases.

The AdBlue^®additive is held in a special

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).

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

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

recommend that you go to a dealer to have the

necessary top-up carried out.

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)

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.

F

Switch off the ignition and remove the key.

Never store bottles of AdBlue^®in your

vehicle.

F

For access to the AdBlue^®tank, fold the left

hand concertina boot floor and, on 7-seat

versions, unfold the left hand seat in the

third row.

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.

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).

F

Lower the cut-out in the boot carpet.

Unfold and reposition the concertina floor.
