Peugeot Rifter 2018-2019 Owner's Manual Practical information AdBlue® (BlueHDi)

149Practical information70.3 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 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.

If you do, the engine will start, requiring you to restart the procedure.Advice on care and maintenanceGeneral recommendationsObserve the following recommendations to avoid damaging your vehicle.ExteriorNever use a high-pressure jet wash in the engine compartment, due to the risk of damaging electrical components.Do not wash the vehicle in strong sunshine or extremely cold conditions.
