TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in the
event of malfunction.
Pressure Check With the ignition on and the
vehicle having been stationary
for approximately 15 minutes,
and after the engine oil level,
this indicator light comes on
on the instrument panel screen to indi-
cate that the system is measuring the
tyre pressures.
Pressure OK
This indicator light comes
on on the instrument panel
screen if all of the tyre pres-
sure values measured are
correct.
If this indicator light does not appear,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. Puncture
This warning light, accom-
panied by the audible signal
and the message on the
multi-function display loca-
ting the wheel concerned, is
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 wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.

Note: this message is also dis-
played when one of the wheels
is away from the vehicle (be-
ing repaired) or when one or
more wheels without a sensor
are fi tted. All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate the
need to have the tyre pressure checked
regularly (see manufacturer's label) to
ensure that the optimum dynamic per-
formance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driving
conditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remember
to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem may experience temporary inter-
ference due to radioelectric emissions
on a frequency close to that used by
the system.
Flat tyre
This warning light is accom-
panied by the audible si gnal
and the message on the
multi-function display loca-
ting the wheel concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning light is accom-
panied by the audible si gnal
and the message on the
multi-function display which
indicates that under-infl ation
detection is absent from one (or seve-
ral) wheel(s) or that there is a fault in
the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).

Bonnet strut
Secure the strut in its housing to hold
the bonnet open.
Before closing the bonnet, replace the
strut in its clip.
OPENING THE BONNET

From inside: pull the handle on
the left-hand side under the fascia
towards you.

From outside: lift the catch and raise
the bonnet. To avoid any risk of burns, only
handle the bonnet strut by the
protective foam.
To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at the
end of its travel. Check that the bonnet
is properly locked.

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Cooling system CHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance opera-
tions which keep your vehicle in good
working order. Consult the instruc-
tions in the PEUGEOT network, on
the Service Box site or in the servicing
booklet enclosed with this handbook.
Dipstick There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Oil level

 Check the level regularly and top
up between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
the engine having been off for more
than 15 minutes, using the dipstick.
Important: if you have to re-
move/refi t the engine style cover,
handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fi xing clips. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out
at the intervals specifi ed and the visco-
sity of the oil chosen must meet the
requirements laid down in the manu-
facturer's servicing schedule. Consult
the instructions in the PEUGEOT
network or on the Service Box site.

Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the containers
provided for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network.
Oil filter
Replace the cartridge regularly in
accordance with the recommenda-
tions of the servicing schedule.
Brake fluid change
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi ls DOT4
Standards.
It is imperative that the brake fl uid is
changed at the intervals specifi ed in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.

Note: avoid all contact with the skin,
the brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive. Use only the fl uid recommended
by the manufacturer.

Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture 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 to the fi rst
notch 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.

The engine fan can operate
after the vehicle has stopped.

Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fl uid or coolant into
drains or onto the ground.
Windscreen and headlamp wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, to see and be seen, we would
advise that you use products of the
PEUGEOT Universal range. At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKS
Have the fi lter elements re-
placed regularly. If you drive
in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
parti cular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.
Brake pads
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services. Where the handbrake travel is
too great or there is a reduc-
tion in the performance of the
system, the handbrake should
be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake
To ensure the best perfor-
mance from components as
important as the power stee-
ring and the braking system,
the manufacturer selects and offers
specifi c products, only use products
recommended by PEUGEOT .
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing of the
engine compartment is strictly prohib-
ited .
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.

 Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature, the level
should always be above the MIN
mark, close to the MAX mark.
Particle emission filter - Additive reservoir (Diesel)
It is imperative that the maintenance
of the particle emission fi lter and the
fi lling of the additive reservoir are
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
Disc wear status
For any information relating to checking
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

CHANGING A WHEEL

 Park the vehicle on level, stable
and non-slippery ground.

 Apply the handbrake, switch off the
ignition and engage fi rst or reverse
gear (position P for the automatic
gearbox).

 Fold the fl oor back fully towards
the back of the boot.
Access to the spare wheel and the
jack in the boot
The fl oor must be retained in the raised
position as shown in the illustration.
Recommendations when using the
temporary spare wheel *
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
spare wheel with a different rim from
the standard wheel.
After use, be sure to replace it as soon
as possible.
Observe the following advice to avoid
altering the handling of the vehicle:
- do not drive above 50 mph (80 km/h),
- do not fi t a wheel trim,
- drive carefully,
- check the infl ation pressure indi-cated on the label.
* According to version and country.
