CHECKING LEVELS
Brake fluid level
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

Oil level

The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched on using
the oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the engine oil between
services. The manufacturer recommends
that the oil level be checked, and topped up
if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
The brake fl uid level should be
between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.

Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.


Coolant level

The coolant level must be mea-
sured when the engine is cold
and should be between the
"LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.

Screenwash and headlamp

According to country.
Changing the engine oil
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.

Changing the coolant fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations for optimum
cleaning.



Power steering fluid level

Check the fl uid level with the engine at
idle.
Check that the power steering fl uid
level is always between the "MAX" and
"MIN" marks and top up if necessary.

Fluid specifi cation
This fl uid must conform to the manufac-
turer's recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
When working under the bonnet, take
care as certain areas of the engine may
be extremely hot (risk of burns).

CHECKS

Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive is indicat-
ed by lighting of the service warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen.

Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.



Waste products
CHECKS


Battery

Check the electrolyte level
regularly. If necessary, top up
the level with distilled water.
Check that the terminals are
clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.


Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary (refer
to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.


Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, exception-
ally, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust on accel-
eration. This does not have any
adverse effect on the perfor-
mance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful
to health or indeed very corro-
sive.

Do not discard used oil or fl uids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers pro-
vided for this purpose at PEUGEOT
dealers (France) or a qualifi ed work-
shop, or take them to an authorised
waste disposal site.
Do not discard the oil fi lter through
public channels, deposit it in the
containers dedicated to this use in
the PEUGEOT network (France) or
a qualifi ed workshop or take them to
an authorised waste disposal site.

Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and in relation to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

CHECKS

Manual gearbox

Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of gearbox mainte-
nance.


Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.


Brake disc wear

For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.


Parking brake

If the parking brake travel is
too long or if you notice a loss
of effectiveness of this sys-
tem, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specifi cations. In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as
the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers very specifi c
products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compart-
ment is strictly prohibited.
