Peugeot 5008 2009-2016 Owner's Manual Checks AdBlue® additive and SCR system

Checks2045008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015AdBlue® additive and SCR systemfor BlueHDi Diesel enginesTo 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.Presentation of the SCR systemUsing an additive called AdBlue® containing urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrous oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are harmless to health and the environment.The AdBlue® additive is held in a special tank located under the boot at the rear of the vehicle. It has a capacity of 17 litres: this provides a driving range of about 12 500 miles (20 000 km), after which an alert is triggered warning you when the reserve remaining is enough for just 1 500 miles (2 400 km).During each scheduled service of your vehicle by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, the AdBlue® additive tank is refilled in order to allow normal operation of the SCR system.If the estimated mileage between two services is greater than 12 500 miles (20 000 km), we recommend that you go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the necessary top-up carried out.Once the AdBlue®tank is empty, a system required by regulations prevents starting of the engine.If the SCR 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.
9Checks2055008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Range indicatorsThe engine start prevention system required by regulations is activated automatically once the AdBlue® tank is empty.Once the AdBlue® tank is on reserve or after detection of a fault with the SCR emissions control system, when the ignition is switched on, an indicator displays an estimate of the distance that can be covered, the range, before engine starting is prevented.In the event of simultaneous system fault and low AdBlue® level, the shortest range figure is the one displayed.Range greater than 1 500 miles (2 400 km)When the ignition is switched on, no information on range is displayed automatically in the instrument panel.Pressing this button displays the driving range temporarily.Above 3 000 miles (5 000 km), the value is not specified.In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of AdBlue®
Checks2065008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Remaining range between 350 and 1500 miles (600 and 2 400 km)When switching on the ignition, the UREAwarning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a message (e.g.: "Top up emissions additive: Starting prevented in 900 miles") indicating the remaining range expressed in miles or kilometres.When driving, the message is displayed every 200 miles (300 km) until the additive tank has been topped-up.Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the AdBlue® tank topped-up.You can also top-up the tank yourself.For more information on topping-up the AdBlue® additive, refer to the corresponding section.Remaining range between 0 and 350 miles (0 and 600 km)When switching on the ignition, the SERVICE warning lamp comes on and the UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a message (e.g. "Top up emissions additive: Starting prevented in 350 miles") indicating the remaining range expressed in miles or kilometres.When driving, the message is displayed every 30 seconds until the additive tank has been topped-up.Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the AdBlue® tank topped-up.You can also top-up the tank yourself.Otherwise you will not be able to restart your engine.Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue® additiveWhen switching on the ignition, the SERVICE warning lamp comes on and the UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of the message "Top up emissions additive: Starting prevented".The AdBlue® tank is empty: the system required by regulations prevents engine starting.To be able to start the engine, we recommend that you call on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for the top-up required.If you carry out the top-up yourself, it is essential to add at least 3.8 litres of AdBlue® to the tank.For more information on topping-up the AdBlue® additive, refer to the corresponding section.
9Checks2075008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015In the event of a fault with the the SCR emissions control systemA system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions control system. Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.In the event of the detection of a faultThe UREA, SERVICE and diagnostic warning lamps comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of the message "Emissions fault".The alert is triggered when driving when the fault is detected for the first time, then when switching on the ignition for subsequent journeys, while the fault persists.If it is a temporary fault, the alert disappears during the next journey, after self-diagnosis of the SCR system.During an authorised driving phase (between 650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed (after 30 miles (50 km) covered with the permanent display of the message signalling a fault), the SERVICE and engine diagnostic warning lamps come on and the UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of a message (e.g.: "Emissions fault: Starting prevented in 150 miles") indicating the remaining range express in miles or kilometres.While driving, the message is displayed every 30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system persists.The alert is repeated when switching on the ignition.You should go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.Otherwise, you will not be able to restart your engine.
Checks2085008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015You have exceeded the authorised driving limit: the starting prevention system inhibits engine starting.Starting preventedEvery time the ignition is switched on, the SERVICE and engine diagnostic warning lamps come on and the UREA warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an audible signal and the display of the message "Emissions fault: Starting prevented".Freezing of the AdBlue®additiveTo be able to start the engine, you must call on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.The AdBlue® additive 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.
9Checks2095008_en_Chap09_verifications_ed01-2015Topping-up the AdBlue® additivePrecautions in useKeep AdBlue® out of the reach of children, in its original bottle.Never transfer AdBlue® to another container: it would lose its purity.Use only AdBlue® additive that meets the ISO 22241 standard.The AdBlue® additive is an 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 product. Ammonia vapour has en irritant effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).Never dilute the additive with water.Never pour the additive into the Diesel fuel tank.The supply in a non-drip bottle simplifies toping-up. You can obtain 1.89 litre (half a US gallon) bottles from a PEUGEOTdealer or a qualified workshop.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 additive between services, more particularly if an alert (warning lamps and a message) signals the requirement.You can got to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.If you envisage topping-up yourself, please read the following warnings carefully.
