CHECKING THE LEVELS
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.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments. Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.
Dipstick
Cooling system
Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. This fan can oper-
ate with the ignition off.
In the case of vehicles fitted with
a particle emission filter, the fan
can operate after the vehicle has
stopped, even when the engine is
cold .
In addition, as 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 re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, this indicates a low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
* According to engine.
Brake fluid level
Oil level
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet. The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.
Power steering reservoir
Remove the style trim* (see §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
Use fluids recommended by
the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the ve-
hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick.

CHECKS
Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance
of the system, the hand-
brake should be adjusted,
even between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Particle emission filter
(Diesel)
It is imperative that the particle emis-
sion filter is maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule, by a PEUGEOT dealer. Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances
.
Disc and drum wear status
For any information relating to the
wear status of the surfaces of the
discs and drums, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer. Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and characteristics.
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, PEUGEOT selects and offers
quite specific products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment is strictly
prohibited .
Oil filter
Used products
Avoid all prolonged contact of the
used oil with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive. Note:
following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional cases,
notice discharges of water vapour
at the exhaust on acceleration. This
has no effect on the behaviour of the
vehicle or on the environment.
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fluid or coolant into
drains or onto the ground.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this purpose
in the PEUGEOT network.
Battery
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Have the filter elements
replaced regularly. If you
drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as
often.
Brake pads
It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the
pads, even between serv-
ices.
Handbrake
Change the filter regular-
ly, in accordance with the
servicing schedule.
Manual gearbox
To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servic-
ing schedule, refer to the
pages of the servicing booklet
which correspond to your vehi-
cle’s engine.
This does not require an oil
change. Have the level checked
in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule.

10PRACTICAL INFORMATION
118
 Detach the wheel/holder assem-
bly from the rear of the vehicle.
 Take out the notched hook to re-
lease the wheel, as shown in the
illustration. Removing the wheel

Slide the holder cover to gain ac-
cess to the tools.
 If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite to
the one to be changed.
 Remove the trim, using the wheel-
brace 1, pulling at the valve pas-
sage hole (for vehicles fitted with
steel wheels).
 Loosen the wheel bolts (see §
"Special features of alloy wheels"
for vehicles fitted with alloy
wheels).
Note: you can use the other end
of the tool 6 to unscrew the wheel
bolts. 
Place the jack 4 in contact with one
of the four locating points A on the
sub-frame, the one which is clos-
est to the wheel to be changed.
 Extend the jack 4 until its base is
in contact with the ground. Ensure
that the centre line of the base of
the jack is straight above the lo-
cating point A used.
 Raise the vehicle
 Remove one bolt and install the
centralising tool 5 in its place.
 Unscrew the other bolts and re-

- with the handbrake on and the igni- tion switched off,
- with first or reverse gear engaged (po- sition P for the automatic gearbox),
- with the vehicle chocked.
Never go underneath a vehicle that
is supported only by a jack (use a
ramp).
Never refit the holder under the
vehicle without the spare wheel.
Do not use a screwdriver in place
of the wheelbrace to unwind or
wind the winch. Recommendations when using
the temporary spare wheel*
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
spare wheel which has a different rim
to the standard wheel.
After use, have it replaced as quickly
as possible.
Observe the following instructions in
order to avoid altering the behaviour
of the vehicle:
- do not exceed
50 mph (80 km/h) ,
- do not fit a wheel trim,
- drive with care,
- check the tyre pressure indicated on the label.
* According to model and country.
After changing the wheel:
- have the correct positioning of the
punctured wheel, the tightening
of the bolts and the tyre pressure
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible,
- have the punctured tyre repaired and refit it to the vehicle as soon as
possible,
- have the correct positioning of the spare wheel checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Wheels fitted with the Tyre
Under-Inflation Detection system
For further information refer to "Tyre
under-inflation detection" in the safe-
ty section.

Bolt covers
Alloy wheel bolts are covered by
chrome trims.
Use the yellow tool 6 to remove the
trims before slackening the bolts. If your vehicle is fitted with a steel
spare wheel, when fitting it, it is
nor-
mal when tightening the bolts to no-
tice that the washers do not come
into contact with the rim. The spare
wheel is secured by the cone shape
of each bolt.
Fitting snow tyres
If you fit snow tyres mounted on steel
wheels onto your vehicle, it is es-
sential to use special bolts available
from your PEUGEOT dealer.
Special features of alloy
wheelsFitting the spare wheelAnti-theft bolts
If your wheels are fitted with an anti-
theft bolt (one per wheel), the chrome
trim must be removed before un-
screwing the bolt using the anti-theft
socket and the wheelbrace.
This anti-theft socket was given to
you on delivery of your vehicle along
with the duplicate keys and the con-
fidential card.
Make a careful note of the code
number engraved on the head of the
anti-theft socket. This will enable you
to obtain a duplicate socket from a
PEUGEOT dealer.
