AdBlue

®

and SCR system

for BlueHDi Diesel 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.

SCR system

Using a fluid called AdBlue

®

containing urea, a

catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are
harmless to health and the environment.

The AdBlue

®

is held in a special tank with

a capacity of about 17 litres: this provides
a driving range of about 12 500 miles
(20 000 km). An alert is triggered automatically
to warn you when the reserve level is
reached: you can then drive about 1 500 miles
(2 400 km) before the tank is empty.

During each scheduled service of your vehicle
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
the AdBlue

®

tank is refilled in order to allow

normal operation of the SCR system.

If the estimated mileage of your vehicle
between two services is greater than
12 500 miles (20 000 km), it will be necessary
to top-up the AdBlue

®

.

Once the AdBlue

®

tank is empty, a

system required by regulations prevents
starting of the engine.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level
of emissions from your vehicle will no
longer meet the Euro 6 standard: your
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.
In either case, a range indicator gives
you the distance you can travel 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 all weather
conditions.

Topping-up the AdBlue

®

Precautions in use

Use only AdBlue

®

fluid that meets the

ISO 22241 standard.

The supply in a non-drip container or bottle
simplifies topping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre
(half a US gallon) bottles or 5 litre containers
from a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Keep AdBlue

®

out of the reach of

children, in its original container or
bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue

®

to another

container: it would lose its purity.

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.

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 fluid between
services, more particularly if an alert (warning
lamps and a message) signals the requirement.
You can go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage topping-up yourself, please
read the following warnings carefully.

AdBlue

®

is a 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
fluid. Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).

th

of a turn anti-

clockwise.

F Remove the blue cap downwards.

Never store bottles of AdBlue

®

in your

vehicle.

Before topping-up, in wintry conditions, ensure
that the temperature is above -11°C. Otherwise
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.

AdBlue

®

freezes at about -11°C and

deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles 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 additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.

Do not dispose of AdBlue

®

bottles or

containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container provided for
this purpose or take them to your dealer.

Temporary puncture repair kit

Comprising a compressor and a sealant
cartridge, it allows the temporary repair of
a tyre so that you can drive to the nearest
garage.
It is designed to repair most punctures which
could affect the tyre, located on the tyre tread
or shoulder.

Composition of the kit

1. 12 V compressor, with integral pressure

gauge.

2. Sealant cartridge, with integral hose.
3. Speed limit sticker.

The speed limit sticker must be secured
to the interior of the vehicle in the
driver's field of vision, to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use.

Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) when driving with a tyre
repaired using this type of kit.

The vehicle's electric system allows the
connection of the compressor for long
enough to inflate a tyre after a puncture
