In the event of the detection
of a fault
In the event of a fault with the the SCR emissions
control system
During an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
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.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnosis of the SCR system.
The UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning
lamps comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of the message
"Emissions fault".
The alert is triggered when driving when the
fault is detected for the first time, then when
switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.
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), 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.
The alert is repeated when switching on
the


ignition.
You should go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Other wise, you will not be able to restart
your


engine.

Starting preventedYou have exceeded the authorised
driving limit: the starting prevention
system inhibits engine starting. Freezing of the AdBlue® additive
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".
To be able to start the engine, you must call on
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. The AdBlue
® additive freezes at
temperatures below around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater
for the AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to
continue driving in very cold conditions.

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.
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).
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. Never dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel
fuel tank.
The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies
toping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a
US

gallon) bottles from a PEUGEOT
dealer
or a qualified workshop. Use only AdBlue
® additive that meets the
ISO
22241 standard.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding


it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and
the
STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as
possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
