Practical information  
Diesel misfuel  
prevention  
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.  
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,  
a device which helps to reduce the level of  
harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.  
If you have put in the wrong fuel for  
your vehicle, you must have have  
the tank drained and refilled with  
the correct fuel before you start the  
engine.  
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel  
prevention device appears when the filler cap  
is removed.  
If your vehicle has sliding side doors, do  
not open the left hand sliding door as  
there is a risk of damaging the fuel filler  
flap when refuelling.  
Low fuel level  
When the low fuel level in the tank is  
reached, this warning lamp comes on in  
the instrument panel, accompanied by  
an audible warning and a message.  
When it first comes on, less than 8 litres of fuel  
remain in the tank.  
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid  
running out.  
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 filler  
nozzle.  
Fuel supply cut-off  
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device  
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a  
collision.  
262  
Practical information  
Fuel used for Diesel  
engines  
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill  
the tank but this must be done slowly.  
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.  
Travelling abroad  
The Diesel engines are compatible with  
biofuels available at the pumps which meet  
current and future european standards:  
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard  
eN16709 is possible in your Diesel engines.  
However, this use, even occasional, requires  
strict application of the special servicing  
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".  
For more information, contact a PeugeoT  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
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.  
-
Diesel fuel that meets standard eN 590  
mixed with a biofuel that meets standard  
eN 14214,  
-
Diesel fuel that meets standard eN16734  
mixed with a biofuel that meets standard  
eN14214 (possibly containing up to 10 %  
Fatty Acid Methyl ester),  
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).  
only the use of Diesel fuel additives that meet  
the standard B715000 is authorised.

Advice on installation  
Snow chains  
F
If you have to fit the chains during a  
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface  
on the side of the road.  
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve  
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle  
when braking.  
F
Apply the parking brake and position any  
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your  
vehicle.

Stop your vehicle and check that the snow  
chains are correctly tightened.  
You can also use snow socks.  
For more information on snow chains, contact a  
PeugeoT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads  
that have been cleared of snow, to  
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and  
the road surface. If your vehicle is fitted  
with alloy wheels, check that no part of  
the chain or its fixings is in contact with  
the wheel rim.  
Take account of the legislation in force  
in your country on the use of snow  
chains and the maximum running speed  
authorised.  
It is strongly recommended that before  
you leave, you practise fitting the snow  
chains on a level and dry surface.  
264  
Practical information  
Towing a trailer  
We recommend the use of genuine  
PeugeoT towbars and their harnesses  
that have been tested and approved  
from the design stage of your vehicle,  
and that the fitting of the towbar is  
entrusted to a PeugeoT dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
If the towbar is not fitted by a  
PeugeoT dealer, it must still be  
fitted in accordance with the vehicle  
manufacturer's instructions.  
Your vehicle is primarily designed for  
transporting people and luggage, but it may  
also be used for towing a trailer.  
Driving with a trailer places greater  
demands on the towing vehicle and the  
driver must take particular care.  
For more information on Driving  
advice, particularly when towing, refer  
to the corresponding section.

release terminals) and that the connections  
are clean.  
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.

Practical information  
AdBlue® and SCR system  
for BlueHDi Diesel engines  
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.  
The AdBlue® is held in a special tank with  
a capacity of about 22 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).  
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  
(1 100 km), a system will be triggered  
automatically to prevent engine starting.  
When filling the tank, the filling rate  
must not exceed 40 litres per minute.  
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.  
During each scheduled service of your vehicle  
by a PeugeoT dealer or a qualified workshop,  
the AdBlue® tank is refilled in order to allow  
normal operation of the SCR system.  
Presentation of the SCR system  
If the estimated mileage between two services

top-up carried out.  
using a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea, a  
catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen  
oxides (Nox) into nitrogen and water, which are  
harmless to health and the environment.

Topping-up the AdBlue®  
Precautions in use  
the ISo 22241 standard.  
AdBlue® is a 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.  
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 fluid between  
services, more particularly if an alert (warning  
lamps and a message) signals the requirement.  
You can go to a PeugeoT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
Never dilute AdBlue® with water.  
Never pour AdBlue® 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  
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please  
read the following warnings carefully.  
temperature, for example), the risk of release of  
ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale the  
fluid. Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on  
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).  
Important  
The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies  
topping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a  
uS gallon) bottles from a PeugeoT dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
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).

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.

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.  
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure  
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level  
surface.  
under these conditions, the fluid can be kept  
for at least a year.  
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it  
has completely thawed out.

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.
