Peugeot Rifter 2018-2019 Owner's Manual Practical information

138Practical informationCompatibility of fuelsPetrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol respectively.Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734 and EN16709 standards and containing up to 7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even occasionally, imposes special maintenance conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940 standard.The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).The only fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 (petrol) or B715000 (Diesel) standards.Diesel at low temperatureAt temperatures below 0°C (+32°F), the formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel fuels could prevent the engine from operating correctly. In these temperature conditions, use winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank more than 50% full.At temperatures below -15°C (+5°F) to avoid problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle under shelter (heated garage).Travelling abroadCertain fuels could damage your vehicle’s engine.In certain countries, the use of a particular fuel may be required (specific octane rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct operation of the engine.For all additional information, consult a dealer.RefuellingFuel tank capacity: approximately 61 litres (petrol) or 50 litres (Diesel).Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.Low fuel level/2 11When the low fuel level is reached, this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an onscreen message and an audible signal. When it first comes on, about 6 litres of fuel remain in the tank.Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp appears every time the ignition is switched on, accompanied by an onscreen message and an audible signal. When driving, this message and audible signal are repeated with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops towards 0.You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.For more information on Running out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.Stop & StartNever refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition.RefuellingAt least 10 litres of fuel must be added, in order to be registered by the fuel gauge.Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system.To refuel in complete safety:►Always switch off the engine.►Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry and Starting.►Open the fuel filler flap.
139Practical information7►With a conventional key, insert the key into the filler cap, then turn the key to the left.►Unscrew and remove the filler cap, then place it on the holder located on the fuel filler flap.►Insert the nozzle and push it in fully (while pushing on the metal valve A).►Fill the tank. Do not continue past the third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions.►Put the filler cap back in place and close it by turning to the right.►Push the fuel filler flap to close it (your vehicle must be unlocked).If the fuel filler flap is open, a device prevents the left-hand side door from opening.The door can be opened half-way, however.Close the fuel filler flap to regain use of the door.The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, which helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have the fuel tank drained and filled with the correct fuel before starting the engine.Fuel cut-offYour vehicle is fitted with a safety system that cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an impact.Misfuel prevention (Diesel)(Depending on country of sale.)This mechanical device prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol.Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.OperationWhen a petrol filler nozzle is inserted into the fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes into contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling.Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type filler nozzle.It remains possible to use a fuel jerrycan to fill the tank.Travelling abroadAs Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence

It is recommended that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emissions control system, never use additives in the engine oil.Checking using the dipstickFor the location of the dipstick, please refer to the illustration of the corresponding engine compartment.►Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull it out completely.►Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-free cloth.►Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to visually check the oil level: the correct level is between marks A(max) and B (min).Do not start the engine if the level is:–above mark A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.–below mark B: top up the engine oil immediately.Oil gradeBefore topping up or changing the engine oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine and complies with the recommendations in the service schedule supplied with the vehicle (or available from your PEUGEOT dealer and qualified workshops).Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate the contractual warranty in the event of engine failure.Topping up the engine oil levelThe location of the oil filler cap is shown in the corresponding underbonnet layout view.►Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).►Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.►Add more oil if necessary.►After checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.During the 30 minutes after topping up the oil, the check performed with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on is not valid.Brake fluidThe level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pad wear.To know how often the brake fluid should be replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.If topping up, clean the cap before replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed canister.Engine coolantCheck the engine coolant level regularly.It is normal to top up this fluid between two services.The check and top-up must only be done with the engine cold.A low level presents a risk of serious damage to the engine.The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark but should never exceed it.If the level is close to or below the "MIN” mark, it is essential to top up.When the engine is hot, the temperature of this fluid is regulated by the fan.In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.To avoid the risk of scalding if you need to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the cap
147Practical information7and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up to the required level.Screenwash fluidTop up to the required level when necessary.Capacity of the tank:–5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.–2.2 litres for other versions.Fluid specificationThe fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use mixture.In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid containing an agent to prevent freezing must be used which is appropriate for the prevailing conditions, in order to protect the elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).Filling with pure water is prohibited under all circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone deposits, etc.).Diesel fuel additive (Diesel with particle filter) or On reaching the minimum level in the particle filter additive tank, this warning lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an audible warning and a message warning that the additive level is too low.Topping upThis additive must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.AdBlue (BlueHDi)An alert is triggered when the reserve level is reached.For more information on the AdBlue range indicators, refer to the corresponding section.To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in accordance with regulations, you must top up the AdBlue tank.For more information on the Supply of AdBlue, refer to the corresponding section.ChecksUnless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality and specification.In order to optimise the operation of components as important as those in the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specific products.12V batteryThe battery does not require any maintenance.However, check regularly that the terminals are correctly tightened (versions without quick release terminals) and that the connections are clean.For more information on the precautions to take before any work on the 12V battery, refer to the corresponding section.Versions equipped with Stop & Start are fitted with a 12V lead-acid battery of specific technology and specification.Its replacement should be carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Passenger compartment filterDepending on the environment and the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.A clogged passenger compartment filter can adversely affect air conditioning system performance and generate undesirable odours.
148Practical information0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.Under-inflation 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!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.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the tyres.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)To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without adversely affecting the performance or fuel consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a system that associates SCR (Selective Air filterDepending on the environment and the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.Oil filterChange the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.Particle filter (Diesel)When the particle filter is approaching saturation, this warning lamp comes on temporarily, accompanied by a message warning of the risk of filter clogging.As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37mph (60km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low Diesel additive level.For more information on Checking levels, refer to the corresponding section.Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust while accelerating. This has no impact on the vehicle’s behaviour or the environment.New vehicleDuring the first few particle filter regeneration operations, you may notice a "burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.Manual gearboxThe gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).Automatic gearboxThe gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).Brake padsBrake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and defrost them.Brake disc wearFor information on checking brake disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Manual parking brakeIf you notice excessive brake lever travel or decreased effectiveness, the parking brake must be adjusted, even between two services.This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Electric parking brakeThis system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, do not hesitate to have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.For more information on the Electric parking brake, refer to the corresponding section.Wheels and tyresThe inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be checked on "cold” tyres.The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50km/h), add

Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road holding - risk of an accident!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.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the tyres.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)To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without adversely affecting the performance or fuel consumption of its 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 SystemUsing 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. Its capacity allows a driving range of approximately 3,700miles (6,000km), (which may vary considerably depending on your driving style and the vehicle). An alert system is automatically triggered when the remaining range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400km), i.e. once the reserve level has been reached.Several alerts are triggered successively during the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400km) before the tank is empty and the vehicle blocked.For more information on the Warning and indicator lamps and the associated alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the corresponding sections.Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a system required by legislation 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 SCR system malfunction, it is essential to visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. After 680 miles (1,100 km), a device is automatically activated to prevent the engine from starting.In both cases, a range indicator indicates the distance that can be travelled before the vehicle is stopped.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® be 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.
150Practical informationIn order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:–Add between 10 and 13 litres using AdBlue® containers.–Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-out, if you are refilling at a service station.If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty – which is confirmed by the “Top upAdBlue: Starting impossible” message – it is essential to add at least 5 litres.After refilling►Refit the blue cap to the tank filler and turn it clockwise, as far as it will go.►Close the fuel filler flap.Do not dispose of AdBlue®bottles or containers in the household waste.Place them in a container reserved for this purpose or take them back to where you purchased them.Free-wheelingIn certain situations, you must allow the vehicle to free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling road, in an automatic car wash, or being transported by rail or sea freight, etc.).The procedure varies according to the type of gearbox and parking brake.You can obtain AdBlue® from a PEUGEOT dealer or in 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.Storage recommendationsAdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a cool area and protected from direct sunlight.Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for at least a year.If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has completely thawed out in the ambient air.Never store AdBlue® containers in your vehicle.Precautions for useAdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when kept in a cool place).In the event of contact with the skin, wash the affected area with soap and running water. In the event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse the eyes with large amounts of water or with an eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if you feel a persistent burning sensation or irritation.If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth with clean water and then drink plenty of water.In certain conditions (high temperature, for example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia vapours have an irritant effect on mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).Store AdBlue® out of the reach of children, in its original container.ProcedureBefore starting the top-up procedure, ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the AdBlue® may be frozen and so cannot be poured into its tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried out.Never put the AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel tank.If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are any spillages on the bodywork, rinse immediately with cold water or wipe with a damp cloth.If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a sponge and hot water.Important: in the event of a top-up after a breakdown because of a lack of AdBlue, it is essential to wait around 5 minutes before switching on the ignition, without opening the driver’s door, unlocking the vehicle, introducing the key into the ignition switch, or introducing the key of the “Keyless Entry and Starting” system into the passenger compartment.Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10 seconds before starting the engine.►Switch off the ignition and remove the key from the switch to switch off the engine.or►With Keyless Entry and Starting, press the "START/STOP" button to switch off the engine.►With the vehicle unlocked and the fuel filler flap open, turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-clockwise and remove it.►With a container of AdBlue®: after checking the expiry date, read carefully the instructions on the label before pouring the contents of the containerinto the vehicle's AdBlue tank.►With anAdBlue® pump: introduce the nozzle and fill the tank until the automatic cut-off of the nozzle.
151Practical information7In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:–Add between 10 and 13 litres using AdBlue® containers.–Stop after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-out, if you are refilling at a service station.If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty – which is confirmed by the “Top upAdBlue: Starting impossible” message – it is essential to add at least 5 litres.After refilling►Refit the blue cap to the tank filler and turn it clockwise, as far as it will go.►Close the fuel filler flap.Do not dispose of AdBlue®bottles or containers in the household waste.Place them in a container reserved for this purpose or take them back to where you purchased them.Free-wheelingIn certain situations, you must allow the vehicle to free-wheel (while being towed, on a rolling road, in an automatic car wash, or being transported by rail or sea freight, etc.).The procedure varies according to the type of gearbox and parking brake.With a manual gearbox and electric parking brake / Release procedure►With the engine running and while depressing the brake pedal, move the gear selector to the neutral position.►While depressing the brake pedal, switch off the ignition.►Release the brake pedal, then switch on the ignition again.►While depressing the brake pedal, press the control lever to release the parking brake.►Release the brake pedal, then switch off the ignition.Reverting to normal operation►While depressing the brake pedal, start the engine.With an automatic gearbox and electric parking brake / Release procedure►With the engine running and while depressing the brake pedal, set the gear selector to N.►While depressing the brake pedal, switch off the ignition.►Release the brake pedal, then switch on the ignition again.►While depressing the brake pedal, press the control lever to release the parking brake.►Release the brake pedal, then switch off the ignition.Reverting to normal operation►While depressing the brake pedal, start the engine.Keyless Entry and StartingYou must not depress the brake pedal while switching the ignition on or off.
