12 V battery

Air filter and passenger compartment filter

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.

If the warning lamp stays on, this

indicates a low additive level.

For more information on Checking

levels, refer to the corresponding

section.

The battery does not require any maintenance.

Refer to the manufacturer's

service schedule for details of the

replacement intervals for these

components.

However, check regularly that the terminals

are correctly tightened (versions without quick

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.

For more information and the precautions to

take before starting work on the 12 V battery,

refer to the corresponding section.

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.

Oil filter

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.

Versions equipped with Stop & Start are

fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of

specific technology and specification.

Its replacement should be carried

out only by a PeugeoT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

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.

Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the style

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.

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

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.

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.

278

Practical information

use only AdBlue^®fluid that meets

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).

7

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.

279

Practical information

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.

F

Switch off the ignition and remove the

key, or if your vehicle has one, press the

START/SToP button to switch off the

engine.

F

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

clockwise.

Lift off the cap.

Never store bottles of AdBlue^®in your

vehicle.

Do not dispose of AdBlue^®bottles in

the household waste. Place them in a

container provided for this purpose or

take them to your dealer.

F

For access to the AdBlue^®tank, open the

left-hand front door.

From below, pull the black cover.

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.

by the message "Top up emissions

additive: Starting prevented", you

must wait for about 5 minutes before

switching on the ignition, without

opening the driver's door, unlocking

the vehicle, introducing the key

into the ignition switch, or placing

the key of the "Keyless Entry and
