Peugeot Rifter 2020-2023 Owner's Manual Practical information AdBlue® (BlueHDi)

195Practical information7Automatic gearboxThe gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).Drive selectorThe drive selector does not require any maintenance.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 0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.Under-inflation increases energy consumption. Non-compliant tyre pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's road holding - risk of accident!Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the braking and road holding performance of the vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as the presence of the valve caps.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as possible.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.Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres that will be stored when fitting winter or summer tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away from direct exposure to the sun's rays.Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be identified by this symbol on their sidewalls.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 combines SCR (Selective Catalytic
196Practical informationReduction) 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 3,000miles (5,000km) (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) until the tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.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 device required by law prevents the engine from being restarted.If the SCR system is faulty, the level of emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts polluting the environment.In the event of a confirmed SCR system malfunction, it is essential to visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible. After 685 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 immobilised.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.For the correct operation of the SCR system:–Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the ISO 22241 standard.–Never transfer AdBlue® to another container as it would lose its purity.–Never dilute AdBlue® with water.You can obtain AdBlue® from a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, as well as service stations equipped with AdBlue® pumps specially designed for passenger vehicles.Never top up from an AdBlue® dispenser reserved for heavy goods vehicles.Recommendations on storageAdBlue® 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 at room temperature.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.
197Practical information7If 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 the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried out.Never pour 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, inserting the key into the ignition switch, or bringing the key for the "Keyless Entry and Start" 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 Start, 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 the instructions on the label carefully before pouring the contents of the container into the vehicle's AdBlue tank.►With anAdBlue® pump: insert the nozzle and fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts out.In 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.The system only registers AdBlue® top-ups of 5litres or more.If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty – which is confirmed by the message “Top upAdBlue: Starting impossible” – 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, it is necessary to put the vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g.towing, on a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode), rail or sea transport).The procedure varies according to the type of gearbox and parking brake.
