CHECKS





































CHECKING LEVELS

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.

Brake fluid level


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.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the
cap by two turns to allow the pressure to
drop. When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.

Oil level

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.
This manual check will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel will only
be valid 30 minutes after topping up. The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fl uid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.


Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level.
Engine oil change
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record 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.

It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the oil
level and top up if necessary every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.


Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.

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

When working under the bonnet,
take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

CHECKS





























CHECKS

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

Battery

The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, 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" section for de-
tails of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its
reconnection.


Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for de-
tails of the replacement inter-
vals for these components.
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of
the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary
(refer
to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours.


Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details
of the replacement interval for
this component.






The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology and speci-
fi cation, for which the involvement of a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop is required when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation
may shorten the life of the battery.










Particle emission filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the
particle emissions fi lter is in-
dicated by the temporary illu-
mination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the risk of
blockage of the particle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions permit,
regenerate the fi lter by driving at a speed
of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the
"Additive level" section.

On a new vehicle, the fi rst particle
fi lter regeneration operations may
be accompanied by a "burning"
smell, which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional cir-
cumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on
acceleration. This does not affect
the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.

CHECKS

Brake disc wear














Brake pads

Manual parking brake

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 in the system, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking
brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be done by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.







Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).

Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for the
details of the level checking
interval for this component.







6-speed electronic gearbox
system
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).

Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for de-
tails of the checking interval
for this component.







Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).

Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details
of the level checking interval for
this component.





















Only use products recommended
by PEUGEOT or products of equi-
valent quality and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation
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 compartment
is strictly prohibited
.
