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-
t u r e d o r v e r y d e fl a t e d t y r e ) , a n d h a v e
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
a r e fi t t e d . All repairs and changing of
t y r e s o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s
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.
T h e t y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n s y s -
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.
T h e t y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n s y s -
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
i n d i c a t e s t h a t u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n
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).

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
N e v e r fi l l p a s t t h i s m a r k .
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-
m o v e / r e fi t t h e e n g i n e s t y l e c o v e r ,
handle it with care to avoid
d a m a g i n g t h e fi x i n g c l i p s . Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out
a t t h e i n t e r v a l s s p e c i fi e d a n d t h e v i s c o -
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.

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.

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.

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
