Supply of AdBlue ®
It is recommended that the AdBlue
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 passenger vehicles (for those
versions with access to the AdBlue
via the fuel filler flap).
Never top up from an AdBlue ®
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Precautions for use
AdBlue ® is a urea-based solution. This liquid
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless
® is (when kept in a cool place).
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 you feel
a persistent burning sensation or irritation, get
medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (at high temperature,
for example), the risk of release of ammonia
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the vapour.
Ammonia has an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).

Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level

confirmed by the message "Add AdBlue:
Starting impossible", you must top up with
at least 5 litres.
Never pour AdBlue ® into the Diesel fuel
