CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level 
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes (maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1000 km).
Checking is carried out with the
vehicle level, engine cold, using
the oil level gauge on the check
module or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A= maximum
Never fill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliabil
ity of engines and
emission control sys
tems, the use of addi
tives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING".
NOTE: Prevent used oil from coming
into prolonged contact with the skin. Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require
ments.
Brake and clutch fluid level:
The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
If the level drops substantially, con tact a PEUGEOT dealer immedi
ately.
Fluid change:
must be carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule
use fluids approved by the manu facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan
dards.
WARNING: brake and clutch fluid is
harmful to health and very corrosive.
Coolant level
Use fluid recommended by the man
ufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition off and
because the cooling system is pres
surised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work. Unscrew the cap two turns to allow
the pressure to drop to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Note:
The coolant does not need to
be changed.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fluid or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.
Power steering reservoir  Open the reservoir, with the
engine at ambient temperature.
The level should always be above
the MINI mark and close to the
MAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash reservoir
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use
products approved by PEUGEOT
(reservoir capacity 4.5 litres or
6.5 litres with headlamp wash).
Measure the fluid level using the dip
stick incorporated in the reservoir
cap.
Close the air hole on the cap and
remove it, then check the level.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
140
Only use products
approved by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor
mance from components
as important as the
power steering and the braking
system,
PEUGEOT selects and offers
quite specific products.
CHECK ...
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Air filter and pollen filter
Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty con
ditions, change them twice as
often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the
style of driving, in particular for vehi
cles which are used in town, over
short distances .
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services. Have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Fuel supply cutoff
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.
The flashing of this warning
light is accompanied by the
message "Fuel circuit dis
armed" on the multi–func
tion display.
To reestablish the fuel supply :  switch off the ignition.
 remove the key.
 check that there is no odour or
leakage of fuel outside the vehi
cle.
 put the key back in the ignition
 switch on the ignition and start.
Manual gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Check the level, according to the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Automatic gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer in accordance
with the manufacturer's service
schedule.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accor
dance with the service schedule.

TYRE UNDERINFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure
during driving, and trigger a warning
in the event of malfunction (speed
greater than 15mph [25 km/h]).
Flat tyre
When the message "Tyres deflat
ed" appears on the multi–function
display, accompanied by an audible
signal, have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
The message 'Punctured tyre(s)'
appears on the multi–function dis
play, accompanied by an audible sig
nal and followed by illumination of
the "STOP" warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very deflated) tyre, and have the tyre
presure checked as soon as possi
ble.
Note: if the damaged tyre is tem
porarily stored in the boot, it will
again emit this message to remind
you of the necessity of having it
repaired. This will prevent another
warning of the same type being dis
played. Sensor(s) not detected
When the message
"X tyre pres
sure sensor(s) missing" appears
on the multi–function display,
accompanied by an audible signal,
this indicates that underinflation
detection is absent from one (or sev
eral) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
replace the faulty sensor(s).
Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away from
the vehicle (being repaired) or when
a wheel without a sensor is fitted.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
All repairs and changing
of tyres on a wheel fitted
with this system must be
carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre underinflation detec
tion system is a driving aid
which does not take the place
of vigilance or the responsibili
ty of the driver.
This system does not remove the
need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (including the
spare wheel), to ensure that the
dynamic performance of the vehi
cle remains at its best and to
avoid premature wear of the tyres,
in particular in the case of arduous
driving (heavy load, high speed).
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on
a frequency close to it.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION143
Antitheft bolts*
If your wheels are fitted with an anti
theft bolt (one per wheel), unscrew
the bolt using one of the antitheft
sockets which were given to you on
delivery of your vehicle along with
the duplicate keys and confidential
card and the wheelbrace
1.
Note: make a careful note of the
code number on the head of the anti
theft socket. This willl enable you to
obtain a duplicate antitheft socket.
* According to specification and country. Fitting a wheel
 Position the wheel using the cen
tralising tool, fitted on the hub.
 Tighten the bolts by hand.
 Partly tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace 1.
 Fold the jack 2completely and
remove it.
 Fully tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace 1.
 Replace the wheel trim, starting
by placing the wheel trim notch
opposite the valve, and press it on
using the palm of the hand.
 Refit the wheel, with the valve
towards the top, under the vehicle
with the lifting tool, in line with the
illustration.
 Tighten fully and check that the
wheel is lying flat against the rear
floor. For your safety, always
change the wheel:
– on level, stable, nonslippery ground,
– with the handbrake on and the ignition switched off,
– with first or reverse gear engaged (position Pfor the
automatic gearbox),
– with the vehicle chocked.
Never go underneath a vehicle
that is supported only by a jack
(use a ramp).
After changing the wheel:
– have the tightening of the bolts and the tyre pressure checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
– have the punctured wheel repaired and refit it to the vehi
cle as soon as possible.
– ask a Peugeot dealer to check that the spare wheel is fitted cor
rectly.
 Fold down the ring to lock the lift
ing tool.
