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 fill 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. Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.
For vehicles equipped with a
particle filter, the engine fan may
operate after the ignition has
been switched off, even when the
engine is cold.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer’s requirements.
Brake fluid level:
The brake fluid must be changed
according to the manufacturer’s
servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
Note:
brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.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 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.
Cooling system
Use the fluid 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.
* According to country.
Diesel additive level (Diesel)
If a message on the multifunction
display indicates a low diesel additive
level accompanied by an audible
signal, this additive must be topped
up. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible.

Particle filter (Diesel)
The maintenance of the particle filter
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
Note:
following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice discharges
of water vapour at the exhaust on
acceleration. This does not have any
adverse effect on the behaviour of
the vehicle or on the environment. Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT
or products of equivalent
quality and specifications.
To ensure best
performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers quite specific products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your
battery checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the filter 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.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit:
1.6 litre HDI 16V engine
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
- unclip the style cover to gain access to the re-priming pump,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears
in the transparent pipe with the
green connector,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
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. 
Remove the connector and
immediately drive at least 3 miles
(5 km).
 If possible, check the pressure of
the tyre.
 Then immediately drive at
moderate speed to the nearest
garage.
Using a repair aerosol
(See also the instructions on the
aerosols).
 If possible remove the foreign
body which caused the puncture
and deflate the tyre.
 Position the wheel so that the
valve is horizontal to the ground.
 Shake the aerosol vigorously
before use. (In very cold weather,
warm the aerosol for a few minutes
in your hands).
 Fix the aerosol connector onto the
valve, keeping it centralised.
 Hold the valve against the hole
in the wheel rim and at the same
time empty the aerosol, keeping it
upright.
 Maintain the pressure firmly for
one minute.

3 at one of the
four locations A underneath the
vehicle, as close as possible to the
wheel to be changed. Ensure that
the entire surface of the jack base
plate is in contact with the ground.
 Extend the jack 3.
 Remove the bolts and release the
wheel.
Tools for changing a wheel

For your safety, always
change a wheel:
- on level, stable and non slippery ground,
- with the handbrake applied and with the ignition switched off,
- with first or reverse gear engaged (position P for the automatic
gearbox),
- with the vehicle chocked.
Never go underneath a vehicle
which is supported only by a
jack (use an axle stand).
After changing the wheel:
- As soon as possible, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to verify the
tyre pressure and check that the
wheel bolts are tight.Refitting the wheel
 After positioning the wheel,
pre-tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace 1.
 Compress the jack 3 and release
it.
 Fully tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace 1.

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. Refitting the spare wheel*
If your vehicle is fitted with a steel
spare wheel, when fitting 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 fitted 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 the anti-theft socket
(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 destina- tion.
Fitting snow tyres
If you fit snow tyres mounted on steel
rims onto your vehicle, it is
essential
to use special bolts available from a
PEUGEOT dealer.
