Practical information

Store AdBlue^®out of the reach of

children, in its original container.

► Press the "START/STOP" button to switch oﬀ

the engine.

In order not to overﬁll the AdBlue^®tank:

– Add between 10 and 13 litres using

AdBlue^®containers.

– Stop after the nozzle’s ﬁrst automatic cut-

out, if you are reﬁlling at a service station.

The system only registers AdBlue^®top-ups of

5 litres or more.

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.

If the AdBlue^®tank is completely empty

– which is conﬁrmed by the message

“Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible” – it is

essential to add at least 5 litres.

Never pour the AdBlue^®into the Diesel

fuel tank.

Free-wheeling

In certain situations, it is necessary to put the

vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on

a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),

rail or sea transport).

The procedure varies according to the type of

gearbox and parking brake.

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.

► Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue^®tank anti-

clockwise and remove it.

With a manual gearbox and

electric parking brake

► With a container of AdBlue^®: after checking

the expiry date, read the instructions on the

label carefully before pouring the contents of the

container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.

► With an AdBlue^®pump: insert the nozzle and

ﬁll the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts

out.

Important: in the event of a top-up after

an AdBlue breakdown, you must wait

about 5 minutes before switching on the

ignition, without opening the driver's door,

unlocking the vehicle or bringing the

electronic key into the passenger

compartment.

To release them

► With the engine running and while depressing

the brake pedal, move the gear selector to the

neutral position.

Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10

seconds before starting the engine.

When using a pressure washer, hold the

lance at least 30 cm from the vehicle

(particularly when cleaning areas containing

chipped paint, sensors or seals).

Promptly clean up any stains containing

chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint

(including tree resin, bird droppings, insect

secretions, pollen and tar).

If justiﬁed by the environment, clean the

vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits (in

coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas) and

mud (in wet or cold areas). These substances

can be highly corrosive.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop for advice on removing stubborn

stains requiring special products (such as tar

or insect removers).

Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.
