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.
When this occurs with the engine running it
is due to the start of saturation of the particle
emission filter (exceptionally prolonged
urban type driving conditions: low speed,
long traffic jams, ...).
In order to regenerate the filter, you are
advised to drive at a speed higher than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
permit (until the message disappears and
the service warning light is switched off).
During regeneration of the particle emission
filter, relay noise may be heard under the
fascia.
If the message is still displayed and if the
service warning light remains on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
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 for your safety,
we would advise that you use products of
the PEUGEOT Universal range.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 4.5 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir is
7.5 litres.
To guarantee optimum cleaning and prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with water.
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. Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is topped up
by a PEUGEOT dealer without delay.
