Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera function may be
completed with parking sensors. The reversing camera cannot in any
circumstances be a substitute for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The superimposed representation of guide
lines helps with the manoeuvre.
They are represented by lines marked "on
the ground" and do not allow the position of
the vehicle to be determined relative to tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, ...).
Some deformation of the image is normal.
High pressure jet washing
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
camera lens.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The image is displayed in the touch screen.
The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle (the difference corresponds to
the width of your vehicle without the mirrors).
The red lines represent a distance of about
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of about 1
and 2 metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper. Opening the tailgate causes the display
to disappear.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.

BlueHDi
and AdBlue
® additive
SCR technology
AdBlue® is the brand name of the solution
needed for operation of the SCR system.
BlueHDi vehicles have a specific AdBlue
®
additive tank with a capacity of 17 litres .
Filling of the AdBlue
® tank can be done using
5

or 10 litre containers or 1.89 litre bottles.
The objective of BlueHDi is to reduce by up
to 90% the emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides)
in the air, using a system that converts NOx
into water vapour and nitrogen in a dedicated
catalytic converter: SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction).
This objective meets the "Euro 6" emissions
standard adopted by the European Union
aimed at limiting the emissions of pollutants
from internal combustion engines.
The SCR technology used on BlueHDi engines
involves the injection of AdBlue
® fluid into the
exhaust system. Check that the product is within its use-by date.
Read the instructions on the label.
If you want to fill the AdBlue
® tank yourself,
ensure that you have a suitable filler pipe,
which may or may not be supplied with the
additive container.
This operation can also be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Advice
While the quantity of AdBlue® in the additive
t
ank is sufficient, no information is displayed.
On the other hand, once the additive level
drops to the quantity needed for a range of
1 500 miles (2 400 km) driving, you are warned
by different temporary signals (warning lamp,
message, audible signal).
When the AdBlue
® tank is empty, restarting
becomes impossible. Different levels of alert are triggered according
to the remaining driving range threshold.
You will be informed as each mileage threshold
is reached and the alerts will change from
temporary to permanent.
-
T he 1st alert is triggered at a remaining
driving range of 1 500 miles (2 400 km).
-

T

he 2
nd alert is triggered at a remaining
driving range of 375 miles (600 km).
Up to 0 miles, at which point it will be
impossible to restart the engine after a stop.

To p p i n g - u p
If any AdBlue® fluid is split or splashed
on to you, wash immediately with cold
water or wipe yourself with a clean
damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off using a sponge and hot water.
Precautions to take
Use only AdBlue® additive that meets
the ISO 22241 standard.
The AdBlue
® additive is an urea-based
solution.
This liquid is non-flammable, colourless and
odourless.
To be kept in a cool area. After filling the additive tank, observe the
following procedure:
-

S
witch on the ignition without starting.
-

W
ait 10 seconds before starting the engine.
Never dispose of empty AdBlue®
containers and bottles in the household
waste.
Place them in a special container provided
for this purpose or take them to your dealer.
