Practical information
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
the braking and road holding performance of
the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly
check the condition of the tyres (tread and
sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the
presence of the valves.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of
tyres, wheel rotation, ground clearance, the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
AdBlue
®
(BlueHDi)
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue
®
that contains
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 contained in
a
special tank holding about
17
litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 5,600
miles (9,000 km), highly
dependent on your driving style.
An alert system is triggered automatically once
the reserve level is reached: you can then drive
for a
further 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the
tank is empty and the vehicle disabled.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, refer to the
corresponding sections.
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 the vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6
standard: the vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a
dealer or
a
qualified workshop as soon as possible:
after travelling a
distance of 685 miles
(1,100
km), a system will be triggered
automatically to prevent engine starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives 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.
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases
fuel consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressure causes premature wear on tyres
and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding – risk of an accident!
