access to the components of the engine
for checking of the various levels.
- Lift the control and raise the bonnet. - Secure the strut to hold the bonnet
open.
Closing
- Put the strut back in its housing.
- Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of its travel.
- Check that the bonnet is locked.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is neces-
sary to re-prime the circuit:
- fi l l t h e f u e l t a n k w i t h a t l e a s t fi v e l i - tres of diesel,

CHECKING THE LEVELS Brake fluid level Used oil
Oil level
Check the level regularly
and top up between chang-
es. The maximum consump-
tion is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick. T h i s fl u i d m u s t a l w a y s b e a t t h e

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements. Windscreen wash level Avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the con-
tainers intended for this purpose

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 by two turns to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.
Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed. For best quality cleaning and to
a v o i d f r e e z i n g , t h i s fl u i d m u s t
not be topped up or replaced
with water.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil is prohibited.

placed regularly.
If you drive
in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often. Brake pad wear depends on
the style of driving, in particu-
lar for vehicles which are used
in town, over short distances.
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, even between
services.
Have the system checked by a
P E U G E O T d e a l e r .
For any information relating to
checking the wear of the brake
discs and/or drums, contact a
P E U G E O T d e a l e r . C h a n g e t h e fi l t e r r e g u l a r l y , i n
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
This does not require an oil
change. Check the level in ac-
cordance with the manufactur-
er's servicing schedule.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Operating procedure for replacing a
faulty wheel with the spare wheel using
the tools provided with the vehicle.
Parking the vehicle
- If possible, park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery ground.
- A p p l y t h e h a n d b r a k e , e n g a g e fi r s t o r reverse gear. Access to the spare wheel and
the jack
The wheel is located outside the
vehicle, under the boot, supported by a
metal carrier.
- Remove the wheelbrace
1 , secured
on the rear right inner panel of
the boot .
- Using the wheelbrace 1 , slacken the
spare wheel carrier retaining bolt,
located inside the boot under the
carpet .
- Lift the carrier to release the hook rearwards, then lower it.
- Remove the jack storage case 2
located in the spare wheel. Removing a wheel
- Chock the rear of the wheel diagonally
opposite the wheel to be changed.
- Remove the wheel trim using the wheelbrace, by pulling at the valve
passage hole.
- Slacken the wheel bolts.
- Place the jack under the locating point on the sub-frame E that is
closest to the wheel to be changed.
Ensure that the entire surface of the
jack base plate is in contact with the
ground.
- Extend the jack, completely unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel.

Fitting the wheel
- Once the wheel is in place, pre-tight-en it lightly using the wheelbrace.
- Fold the jack and remove it.
- Tighten the bolts using the wheel- brace.
- R e fi t t h e w h e e l t r i m s t a r t i n g a t t h e valve passage hole and press with
the palm of the hand. Putting the wheel back in place
- Put the jack storage case back in
the wheel.
- Put the wheel back in the carrier.
- Raise the wheel, then the carrier and reposition the hook.
- Do not forget to retighten the spare wheel carrier retaining bolt fully.
- Stow the wheelbrace. For your safety, always change a
wheel:
- on level, stable and non slip-
pery ground,
- with the handbrake applied, ignition off,
- w i t h fi r s t o r r e v e r s e g e a r e n - gaged,
- with the vehicle chocked,
- never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack (use an
axle stand).
After changing the wheel
- Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the
spare tyre checked as soon
as possible by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
- Have the punctured tyre re- paired and replace it on the
vehicle as soon as possible.

TEMPORARY REPAIR OF
A TYRE
Vehicles which are not equipped with a
spare wheel have two tyre repair aero-
sols stored in an insulated storage box
in the boot.
(See also the instructions on the aero-
sols). - Remove the foreign body if possible.
- Position the wheel so that the valve
is vertical to the ground.
- Shake the aerosol vigorously before use. (In very cold weather, warm the
aerosol for a few minutes in your
hands).
- F i x t h e a e r o s o l ' s fl e x i b l e c o n n e c t o r onto the valve, keeping it centralised.
- Hold the valve against the hole in the wheel rim.
- Empty the 2 aerosols one after the other, held upright, until the tyre is
s a t u r a t e d ( n o f u r t h e r fl o w v i s i b l e i n
the connector)
- Remove the connector and immedi- ately drive at least 3 miles (5 km), at
moderate speed .
- If possible, check the pressure of the tyre.
- Then immediately drive at moderate
speed to the nearest garage. The aerosol cans enable you to
carry out a temporary repair (maxi-
mum speed 50 mph (80 km/h)).
After use, have the vehicle
examined by a professional who
will assess whether the tyre can
be repaired or must be replaced.
As the aerosol cans are pressu-
rised, they must not be exposed
to a temperature above 50 °C.
Store them away from heat in
their insulated storage box.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF ALLOY WHEELS
Bolt covers
Alloy wheel bolts are covered by chrome
trims.
Use the yellow tool 4 to remove the
trims before slackening the bolts.
The yellow tool 4 is located:
- in the glove box or,
- in the jack storage case. Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a steel
s p a r e w h e e l , w h e n fi t t i n g i t , i t i s
normal
to notice that the bolt washers do not
come into contact with the rim. The
spare wheel is secured by the cone
shape of each bolt.
Fitting snow tyres
I f y o u fi t s n o w t y r e s t h a t a r e m o u n t e d o n
steel rims on your vehicle, it is essential
that you use special bolts available from
PEUGEOT dealers.
