Practical information
AdBlue
®
(BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the performance or fuel
consumption of Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates 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
17 litres.
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.
Once the AdBlue
®
tank is empty, a
system required by regulations prevents
starting of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, 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 travelling the distance of
685 miles (1,100 km), a system preventing
the engine starting will be triggered
automatically.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, refer to the corresponding section.
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
®
is
topped up as soon as the first alert is
issued indicating that the reserve level
has been reached.
In order to ensure that the SCR system
operates correctly:
- Use only AdBlue
®
fluid that meets the
ISO 22241 standard.
- Never transfer AdBlue
®
to another
container: it would lose its purity.
- Never dilute AdBlue
®
with water.
You can obtain AdBlue
®
from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can also visit a service station
equipped with AdBlue
®
pumps specially
designed for private vehicles.
Never top up from an AdBlue
®
dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
