CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the oil level
gauge on the instrument panel or the
dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never ill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the
reliability of engines
and emission control
systems, the use of
additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note: avoid used oil coming
into prolonged contact with the
skin. Empty the used oil into the
containers intended for this purpose
in the PEUGEOT network. Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected
must meet the manufacturer's
requirements.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
luid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground.
* According to country.
Checks
Brake luid change:
- must be carried out according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
- use luids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulil DOT4
standards.
Note: brake luid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Cooling system
Use the luid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this
fan can operate with the ignition key
removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at
least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any
work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to
release the pressure 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.
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
Windscreen and headlamp*
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise that
you use products recommended by
PEUGEOT.

CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your
battery checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Oil ilter
Change the ilter regularly, in
accordance with the servicing
schedule. Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best
performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers quite speciic products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
Checks
Air ilter and passenger
compartment ilter
Have the ilter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice as
often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
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.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
To check the main levels and
certain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule, refer to the pages
of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's
engine.

The aerosol cans
enable you to carry
out a temporary repair
(maximum speed 50 mph
(80 km/h)).
After use, the tyre must be
replaced. As the aerosol cans
are pressurised, they must not be
exposed to a temperature above
50°C.
Store them away from heat in their
insulated storage box
.
PUNCTURES
Because this version does not
possess a spare wheel, you have
a repair kit
(two aerosols for tyre
repairs), stored in an insulated
storage box 1 secured by a strap to
the right-hand side or the left-hand
side (if the vehicle is equipped with
the JBL audio system) of the boot. F
Remove the connector and
immediately drive at least 3 miles
(5 km).
F If possible, check the pressure of
the tyre.
F Then immediately drive at
moderate speed to the nearest
garage.
Using a repair aerosol
(See also the instructions on the
aerosols).
F If possible remove the foreign
body which caused the puncture
and delate the tyre.
F Position the wheel so that the
valve is horizontal to the ground.
F Shake the aerosol vigorously
before use. (In very cold weather,
warm the aerosol for a few
minutes in your hands).
F Fix the aerosol connector onto the
valve, keeping it centralised.
F Hold the valve against the hole
in the wheel rim and at the same
time empty the aerosol, keeping it
upright.
F Maintain the pressure irmly for
one minute.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF
ALLOY WHEELS
Bolt covers
The bolts on the alloy wheels are
covered with chrome-plated trim
caps.
Remove them using the yellow tool
4
before slackening the bolts. Reitting the spare wheel*
If your vehicle is itted with a steel
spare wheel, when itting the wheel
it is
normal to notice that the bolt
washers do not come into contact
with the wheel. The spare wheel is
held in place by the conical support
of each bolt. Wheel anti-theft bolts
If your wheels are itted with anti-
theft bolts (one per wheel), the
chrome-plated trim cap and then
the plastic cover on the wheel must
be removed, using tool
4, before
slackening the bolt using one of the
two anti-theft sockets (located in the
glove box) and the wheelbrace 1.
Note: take a careful note of the code
number engraved on the head of the
anti-theft socket. This will enable you
to obtain a duplicate anti-theft socket
from a PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to model and destination.
Practical information
Fitting snow tyres
If you it snow tyres mounted on steel
rims onto your vehicle, it is essential
to use special bolts available from a
PEUGEOT dealer.
