READY TO SET OFF
SERVICE INDICATOR
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising the
service indicator comes on: the display
informs you when the next service is due,
in accordance with the "Manufacturer's"
servicing schedule indicated in the servicing
booklet. This information is determined in
relation to the distance travelled since the
previous service.
LIGHTING RHEOSTAT
The rheostat is active when the lights are
on.
Refer to the list of checks in the
servicing booklet which was given to
you on delivery of the vehicle.
After a few seconds, the display returns to
its usual functions. Use these controls to adjust the
brightness of the instrument panel.
There are 8 setting levels.
Deterioration of the engine oil (100 and 120 bhp engines)
"Oil Life" or "Suit in Oil" function: your
vehicle's service interval is 24,000 miles
(40,000 km), in normal use.
However, the engine control unit tests the
degree of wear of the engine oil.
If your vehicle is used in arduous conditions
and consequently suffers engine oil
wear and if your vehicle is fitted with this
equipment, you are warned by flashing of
the engine oil pressure warning
light and the displaying of a
message on the instrument panel
each time the vehicle is started.

In this case, your vehicle must be
serviced as soon as possible.

LEVELS
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Consult the instructions at PEUGEOT
dealerships or in the servicing booklet
enclosed in the handbook pack. To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
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.
If you have to remove/refit the engine
style cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
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.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum 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.
Warning lights
Checking by means of the warning
lights on the instrument panel is
described in chapter 2, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section.
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
Oil level
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 vehicle level, engine cold, using the dipstick.

CHECKS
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.
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.
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.
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.
Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with water.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres. Levels

CHECKS
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the servicing booklet.
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.
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.
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.
Bleeding the water contained in
the diesel filter
If this warning light comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine is
drained.
To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Operate until all
of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a PEUGEOT dealer.
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.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
