Practical information
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is
important to have them regularly checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
The timing and accessory kits are used
from the time the engine is started until it
is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over
time.
A
faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is
reached first.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with
a system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in a special
tank holding about 20 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 3,000
miles (5,000 km) (which
may vary considerably depending on your
driving style and the vehicle). An alert system
is automatically triggered when the remaining
range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400
km), i.e. once
the reserve level has been reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during
the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400
km) until the
tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
If the estimated distance travelled by the vehicle
between two services is greater than 3,000
miles
(5,000

km), it will be necessary to top up the
AdBlue.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts
polluting the environment.
In the event of a confirmed SCR system
malfunction, it is essential to visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible. After 685 miles (1,100 km),
a device is automatically activated to prevent
the engine from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is immobilised.
Freezing of the AdBlue®
AdBlue® 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.
Supply of AdBlue®
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating
that the reserve level has been reached.
For the correct operation of the SCR
system:
–

Use
only AdBlue
® fluid that meets the ISO
22241 standard.
–

Never

transfer AdBlue
® to another container
as it would lose its purity.
–

Never

dilute AdBlue
® with water.
You can obtain AdBlue
® from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop, as well as service
stations equipped with AdBlue
® pumps specially
designed for passenger vehicles. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products, solvents,
petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean
stubborn stains - risk of scratching the
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft cloth and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on
the product.
Textured paint
This type of paint reacts under the effect of
light, through variations in appearance and
finish that highlight the lines and contours of the
vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that
remain visible and create a unique satin effect
with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a
surprising touch.
Never attempt to clean without water.
Never clean your vehicle in an automatic
roller-brush car wash.
Never select the programme with hot wax
finish.
Never use high-pressure lances equipped
with brushes - risk of scratching paint!
Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to
the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products
irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.
Choose high-pressure wash, or at least
high-flow water jet.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Only a clean microfibre cloth
is recommended
for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle
without rubbing.
Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the
bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.
Clean off minor marks (for example, finger
marks), using a maintenance product
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Decals
(Depending on version)
Do not use a high-pressure washer to
clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or
detaching the decals!
Use a high-flow hose (temperature
between 25°C and 40°C).
Place the jet of water perpendicular to the
surface to be cleaned.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Textile
The dashboard, door panels and seats may
contain parts made of textile material.
Maintenance
Do not use aggressive cleaning products
(e.g. alcohol, solvent or ammonia).
Do not use steam-cleaning systems - risk of
affecting the adhesion of the fabrics!
Remove dust from the textile parts
regularly with a dry cloth, soft brush or
vacuum cleaner
.
Rub down the
textile parts once per year with
a clean, damp cloth. After leaving overnight to
dry, brush with a soft-bristled brush.
Stain removal
Do not rub the stain or it may spread or
you may cause the substance to
penetrate the surface.
Act quickly by reducing the stain from its edges inwards.
Remove as much substance or solids as
possible using a spoon or spatula, and
remove
as much liquid as possible using
absorbent paper. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
