CHECKS






































CHECKING LEVELS

Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corresponding system checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


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.

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).


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.


BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

The brake fl uid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fluid

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


Fluid specification

The brake fl uid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.



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.
When working under the bonnet, take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).


Oil specification

The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer'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
workshop.

BATTERY


AIR FILTER AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILTER


OIL FILTER









PARTICLE EMISSION FILTER (DIESEL)


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 circumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
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 details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement intervals 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 performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. 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 start of saturation of the particle emissions fi lter is
indicated by the temporary illumination 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.

MANUAL GEARBOX






AUTOMATIC GEARBOX















BRAKE PADS
BRAKE DISC WEAR

MANUAL PARKING BRAKE

The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for the
details of the level checking interval for this component.
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of
the level checking interval for this component.
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 workshop.






















Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of
equivalent 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
.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE


The general recommendations on cleaning and maintaining your vehicle
are given in the Warranty and Maintenance Record.










ALUMINIUM ARCHES

To clean these arches, do not use a dry cloth with an abrasive product.
Use a sponge and soapy water.







PEUGEOT TECHNO TEP

To clean this trim, do not use solvents or detergents with a dry cloth.
First remove dust, then use a soft cloth and soapy water. Dry with
another soft cloth.










HEADLAMPS AND LAMPS

The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses, fi nished with a protective
lacquer.
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive cloth, nor with detergent or
solvent products.
Use a sponge and soapy water.










CUSTOMISING STICKERS

These customising parts are self-adhesive stickers, treated to give good
resistance to ageing and tearing.
They are intended for customising the body.
Available also as accessories, we recommend that you have them fi tted
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.










MATT PAINT

If you vehicle is fi nished with a clear matt lacquer, please observe the
following recommendations to avoid damaging the paintwork by the use
of an inappropriate procedures.
These recommendations are also valid for alloy road wheels fi nished
with clear matt lacquer.
The use of a high pressure jet wash for cleaning the headlamps,
lamps and their surrounds may damage the lacquer and seals.
Observe the recommendations on pressure and distance for jet
washing.
First clean persistent stains with a sponge and warm soapy water. When washing your vehicle, keep the end of a high-pressure
lance at least 30 centimetres from the stickers.

Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will
make the paintwork shiny.
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or
preserving products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork.
These products are only suitable for bright fi nishes. Application of
these products on vehicles with a matt fi nish will seriously damage
the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise to shiny or stained
areas.
Never select a wash programme that fi nishes with a hot wax
cycle.
Always have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

From the range of cleaning and maintenance products recommended and approved
by PEUGEOT, use only products for removing insects and car shampoo.

Installation of radio communication transmitters

you can contact a PEUGEOT dealer for the specifi cation of
transmitters which can be fi tted (frequency, maximum power,
aerial position, specifi c installation requirements), in line with the
Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).



Depending on the legislation in force in the country, it may be
compulsory to have a high visibility safety vest, warning triangle
and spare bulbs and fuses available in the vehicle.
The fi tting of electrical equipment or accessories which are not
recommended by PEUGEOT may result in a failure of your
vehicle's electronic system and excessive electrical consumption.
Please note this precaution. You are advised to contact a
PEUGEOT representative to be shown the range of recommended
equipment and accessories.
