FUEL GAUGECOOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned before the
red zone: normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot
climatic conditions, the needle may
move close to the red graduations. What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle.
What you should do if the warning
lamp comes on:
-

stop immediately
, switch off the
ignition. The fan may continue to
operate for a certain time, up to
approximately 10 minutes,
-
wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the coolant level and
top it up if necessary

.
As the cooling system is pressurised,
follow this advice in order to avoid any
risk of scalding:
-
wait at least one hour after
switching of

f the engine before
carrying out any work,
-
unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to
allow the pressure to drop,
-

when the pressure has dropped,
check the level on the expansion
bottle,
-
if necessary

, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red
zone, have the system checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Refer to chapter 7, "Levels"
section.
Refer to chapter 7, "Fuel" section.
The fuel level is tested each time the
key is turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:

FILLING WITH FUEL
Low fuel level
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the
engine off.
-
Open the fuel filler flap.
-


Insert the key
, then turn it a quarter
turn.
-

Remove the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
flap.
When fillin

g with fuel, with the fuel
filler flap open, ensure that no one
attempts to open the sliding side
door.
When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
lamp comes on.
You then have approximately 8 litres
of fuel remaining. Fill up without delay
to avoid running out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control and injection systems.Fuel used for petrol engines
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel filler cap is opened,
there may be a slight air suction noise.
This vacuum is entirely normal and is
due to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the
nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.
-

After fillin

g the fuel tank, lock the
cap and close the flap. 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.

ADBLUE®ADDITIVE AND SCR
SYSTEM
FOR

B
LUE HD I D IESEL

ENGINES
To assure respect for the environment
and conformity with the new Euro 6
emissions standard, without adversely
affecting the performance 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 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 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 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 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.

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