Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine, you can still
use functions such as the audio and telematic
system, the wipers and the dipped beam
headlamps or courtesy lamps, for a combined
duration of approximately 40 minutes.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when
energy economy mode is entered, and the active
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the
time, it will be maintained for around 10
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–

For less than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
–


For more than 10 minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
T

o recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or
continuously restarting the engine.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.

Practical information
7Never top up from an AdBlue® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Storage recommendations
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for
at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has
completely thawed out in the ambient air.
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when
kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of
children, in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
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 the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never pour the AdBlue® into the Diesel
fuel tank.
For specific information about how to
access the AdBlue tank, refer to the
detailed descriptions below.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after
a breakdown because of a lack of
AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5
minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver’s door,
unlocking the vehicle, introducing the key
into the ignition switch, or introducing the
key of the “

Keyless Entry and Starting

”
system into the passenger compartment

.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
Access to the AdBlue®
A blue cap under the fuel filler flap indicates
access to the AdBlue® tank.

– Switch off the ignition and remove the key .
► T urn the AdBlue® tank's blue filler cap
anti-clockwise.
►

Obtain an

AdBlue
® container (check the
use-by date) and pour the contents of the
container into your vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.

8Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on this label.
► Start the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Do not start the compressor before
connecting the white pipe to the tyre
valve: this would cause the sealant product to
be expelled through the pipe.
►

Switch on the compressor by moving switch
B

to position I and inflate the tyre until its
pressure reaches 2.0 bars. The sealant product
is injected under pressure into the tyre; do not
disconnect the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of blowback).
If, after approximately seven minutes,
this pressure is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is irreparable; contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.
►

Remove the kit and screw the cap back on to
the white pipe. Be careful not to leave traces of
fluid on your vehicle. Keep the kit within reach.
Please note, the sealant product is
harmful if swallowed and causes irritation
to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.


► Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles
(5 kilometres) at reduced speed (between
12 and 37 mph (20 and 60
km/h)) to plug the
puncture.
►

Stop to check the repair
and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
2. Inflation

► Turn selector A to the "Inflation"
position.
►

Uncoil the white pipe G

fully.
► Connect the white pipe to the valve on the
repaired tyre.

Only the 12V socket located at the front
of the vehicle can be used.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on this label.
► Restart the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
You must inform the technician that you have
used this kit. After inspection, the technician
will advise you on whether the tyre can be
repaired or if it must be replaced.
►

Adjust the tyre pressure using the
compressor (to inflate: set switch

B to position I;
to deflate: set switch B to position O and press
button C), following the vehicle's tyre pressure
label located by the driver's door.
A subsequent loss of pressure indicates that
the puncture has not been fully sealed; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have your vehicle repaired.

156
In the event of a breakdown
► Remove the kit and stow it.
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
(80 km/h) max.), limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 125 miles
(200
km).
