Checks
Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
When working under the bonnet, take
care, as cer tain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns).
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.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
during the 30 minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record
for details of the inter val 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 be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and meet the
DOT4 standard.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. Unscrew
the cap, with the engine cold, to
check the level.

Checks
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide for the details of the level
checking interval for this component.
6-speed electronic gearbox
system
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the
checking interval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of the
level checking inter val for this
component. Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
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 fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Manual parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between
two ser vices.
Checking this system must be done by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information, see "Driving - Electric
parking brake - § Operating faults".
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as impor tant as the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
very specific products.
To avoid damaging the electrical units,
the use of a high pressure washer
in the engine compar tment is strictly
prohibited

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
