Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the
ISO
22241
standard.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
Never top up from an AdBlue
® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes below around -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles or containers be stored in a cool
place and protected from direct sunlight.
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.
Never store bottles or containers of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
In winter, check that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C. If not, in
freezing weather, the AdBlue
® cannot be
poured into the tank. Park your vehicle
somewhere warmer for a few hours before
topping up.
The supply in a non-drip container or bottle
simplifies topping up. Containers are available
from a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Procedure
In cold weather, before per forming the top-up
ensure that the temperature of the vehicle is
above -11°C. Other wise 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.

stubborn dirt, avoid prolonged use on the
headlamps, the lamps and their edges to
avoid damaging their lacquer finish and
seals.
-

N

clean the engine compartment, in order
to avoid damaging the electrical units.
-

L
iquids carried in an open vessel (a cup
or mug) could be spilt, presenting a risk
of damage on contact with the controls
in the dashboard and centre console. Be
careful.
Depending on the version you have, in order
to avoid damaging or unpeeling the stickers
on the bodywork, you are strongly advised
against using high-pressure cleaners to
wash your vehicle. It is recommended that
