- low screenwash/headlamp wash reservoir
level,

- remote control battery fl at,

- low tyre pressures,

- saturation of the particle emission fi lter on
Diesel vehicles (see Checks - checking
levels/particle emissions fi lter).
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer

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

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
.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Beware of discharges of fl uid.
The expiry date of the fl uid is indi-
cated on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed
for single use; even if only partly
used, it must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the car-
tridge into the environment, take
it to an authorised waste disposal
site or a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from PEUGEOT
dealers or from a qualifi ed workshop.



Removing the cartridge




)
Stow the black pipe.

)
Detach the angled base from the
white pipe.

)
Support the compressor vertically.

)
Unscrew the cartridge from the
bottom.



Checking tyre pressures/
inflating accessories

You can also use the compressor, with-
out injecting any product, to:


- check or adjust the pressure of your
tyres,

- infl ate other accessories (balls,
bicycle tyres...).


)
Turn the selector A
to the
"Air" position.

)
Uncoil the black pipe H

fully.

)
Connect the black pipe to the valve
of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fi t one of the adaptors
supplied with the kit fi rst.
)
Connect the compressor's electrical
connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

)
Start the vehicle and let the engine
run.

)
Adjust the pressure using the
compressor (to infl ate: switch B
in
position "I"
; to defl ate: switch B
in
position "O"
and press button C
),
according to the vehicle's tyre pressure
label or the accessory's pressure label.

)
Remove the kit then stow it.
