Fuel used for petrol engines
The petrol engines are compatible with
E10 bio-petrol (containing 10 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards EN 228 and
EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must
comply with European standard EN 15293.
Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels
which conform to current and future European
standards (Diesel fuel which complies with
standard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which
complies with standard EN 14214) available
at the pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester).
B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel
engines. However, this use, even occasional,
requires strict application of the special
servicing conditions. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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).

AdBlue ® additive and SCR system
for BlueHDi Diesel engines
To assure respect for the environment and conformity with the new Euro 6 emissions standard, without adversely affecting the per formance 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.
Presentation of the SCR system
Using an additive called AdBlue ® containing ® containing ®
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrous oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are harmless to health and the environment.
The AdBlue ® additive is held in a special ® additive is held in a special ®
tank located under the boot at the rear of the vehicle. It has a capacity of 17 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).
During each scheduled service of your vehicle by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, the AdBlue ® additive tank is refilled in order to ® additive tank is refilled in order to ®
allow normal operation 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.
Once the AdBlue ® tank is empty, a ® 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: you vehicle becomes polluting. 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.

Freezing of the AdBlue® additive
The AdBlue ® additive freezes at ® additive freezes at ®
temperatures below around -11°C. The SCR system includes a heater for the AdBlue ® tank, allowing you to ® tank, allowing you to ®
continue driving in very cold conditions.

Precautions in use
Use only AdBlue ® additive that meets the ® additive that meets the ®
ISO 22241 standard.
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.
Keep AdBlue ® out of the reach of ® out of the reach of ®
children, in its original bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue ® to another ® to another ®
container: it would lose its purity.
Never dilute the additive with water.
Never pour the additive into the Diesel fuel tank.
Never top-up from an AdBlue ®
dispenser reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Filling the AdBlue ® tank is an operation ® 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.
The AdBlue ® additive is an urea-based ® 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).
