 Open the fuel filler flap.
 Insert the key then turn it to the left.
 Remove the cap and attach it to the clip
located on the inside of the flap.
A label on the inside of the flap indicates
which type of fuel to use.
If you fill your tank, do not continue after the
third cut-off of the pump nozzle. This could
result in vehicle malfunctions.
The capacity of the tank is approximately
18 gallons ( 80 litres).
 After filling the tank, lock the cap and
close the flap.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
When the fuel filler flap is open, a system limits the opening of the rear
left sliding side door.
The key cannot be removed from the cap’s
lock until the cap is refitted on the tank.
FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
The flashing of this warning light
is accompanied by a message on
the display.
Check that there is no odour or leakage of
fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish the
fuel supply:
 switch off the ignition (STOP position).
 remove the key.
 put the key back in the ignition.
 switch on the ignition and start.
When the tank’s minimum level is
reached, this warning light comes
on, accompanied by the message
"Fuel level low" on the display.
You have enough fuel left to cover
approximately 30 miles (50 km) ,
depending on driving conditions and the
engine.
If the warning light flashes, this indicates a
fuel gauge malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer. DIESEL REPRIMING PUMP
If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary
to re-prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of
diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re- priming pump, under the bonnet under the
protective cover, until fuel appears in the
transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.

dealerships, on the Infotec site or in the
servicing booklet enclosed in the handbook
pack.reliability of engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements
in accordance with the manufacturer ’s
servicing schedule. Consult the instructions
at PEUGEOT dealerships or on the Infotec
site.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the max mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the
manufacturer ’s requirements. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer ’s servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
LEVELS
If you have to remove/refit the engine
style cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to
fall below this mark.
To maintain the Warning lights
Checking by means of the warning
lights on the instrument panel is
described in chapter 2, "Instruments and

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging your
engine.
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 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.

During regeneration of the particle emission
filter, relay noise may be heard under the
fascia.
If the message is still displayed and the
service warning light remains on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is topped up
by a PEUGEOT dealer without delay.
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the
skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground but
into the containers dedicated to this use at
PEUGEOT dealerships.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this
additive is indicated by lighting
of the service warning light,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display.
When this occurs with the engine running,
this is due to the start of saturation of
the particle emission filter (exceptionally
prolonged urban driving conditions: low
speed, long traffic jams, ...).
In order to regenerate the filter, you are
advised to drive at a speed of more than
40 mph (60 km/h) as soon as possible, when
traffic conditions permit, for at least five
minutes (until the message disappears and

Checks

Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
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.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
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. Manual gearbox
Have the level checked 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.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and characteristics.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking circuit, PEUGEOT
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
The carbon filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate
unpleasant odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. By means of its
second special active filter, it contributes to the
purification of the air breathed by the occupants
and to the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms,
unpleasant odours and greasy deposits).
Refer to the servicing booklet to find out the
replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment
(dusty atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet" section
of chapter 7.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that particle emission filter
maintenance is carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
