Peugeot 208 2012-2019 Owner's Manual Practical information BlueHDi and AdBlue

Practical information174208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016BlueHDiand AdBlue® additiveSCR technologyAdBlue® is the brand name of the solution needed for operation of the SCR system.BlueHDi vehicles have a specific AdBlue®additive tank with a capacity of 17 litres.Filling of the AdBlue® tank can be done using 5or 10 litre containers or 1.89 litre bottles.The objective of BlueHDi is to reduce by up to 90% the emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides) in the air, using a system that converts NOx into water vapour and nitrogen in a dedicated catalytic converter: SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction).This objective meets the "Euro 6" emissions standard adopted by the European Union aimed at limiting the emissions of pollutants from internal combustion engines.The SCR technology used on BlueHDi engines involves the injection of AdBlue® fluid into the exhaust system.Check that the product is within its use-by date.Read the instructions on the label.If you want to fill the AdBlue® tank yourself, ensure that you have a suitable filler pipe, which may or may not be supplied with the additive container.This operation can also be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
7Practical information175208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016AdviceWhile the quantity of AdBlue®in the additive tank is sufficient, no information is displayed.On the other hand, once the additive level drops to the quantity needed for a range of 1 500 miles (2 400 km) driving, you are warned by different temporary signals (warning lamp, message, audible signal).When the AdBlue® tank is empty, restarting becomes impossible.Different levels of alert are triggered according to the remaining driving range threshold.You will be informed as each mileage threshold is reached and the alerts will change from temporary to permanent.-The 1st alert is triggered at a remaining driving range of 1 500 miles (2 400 km).-The 2nd alert is triggered at a remaining driving range of 375 miles (600 km).Up to 0 miles, at which point it will be impossible to restart the engine after a stop.Range indicatorsIt is strongly recommended that you do not wait for the successive alerts before topping-up the AdBlue® tank, but do this as soon as possible.Driving rangePress this button to display the information.With the touch screen:If the range is greater than 3 100 miles (5 000 km), a range value is not given.-select the "Driving assistance" menu,-select "Diagnostic",-select CHECK.
