Practical information
Supply of AdBlue®
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
for a further 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the
tank is empty and the vehicle disabled.

It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating
that the reserve level has been reached.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, refer to the
corresponding sections.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
– Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
– Never transfer AdBlue® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
– Never dilute AdBlue® with water.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a
system required by regulations 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.
To respect the environment and ensure
AdBlue® can be obtained from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting 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.
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 travelling a distance of 685 miles
(1,100 km), a system will be triggered
automatically to prevent engine starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives the
distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is immobilised.
You can also visit a service station
equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles.
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 fluid can be kept for
at least a year.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains urea,
a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of 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 17 litres.
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out in the ambient air.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 5,600 miles (9,000 km), highly
dependent on your driving style.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue® tank, allowing you to continue driving
in very cold conditions.
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reserve level is reached: you can then drive
