2011 Peugeot RCZ oil change

LIMIT THE CAUSES OF
EXCESS CONSUMPTION

Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refi t your summer tyres.


OBSERVE THE RECOMMENDATIONS
ON MAINTENANCE

Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the 3 rd

cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average.

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.

COOLANT LEVEL

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

Changing the coolant

The coolant does not have to be changed.


Fluid specification

The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.



SCREENWASH AND HEADLAMP WASH FLUID

In the case of vehicles fi tted with headlamp washers, the low
fl uid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in
the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you stop the vehicle.


Fluid specification

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain water.











ADDITIVE LEVEL (DIESEL WITH PARTICLE
EMISSIONS FILTER)
The additive reservoir low level is indicated by fi xed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message that the particle emissions fi lter additive level is too low.


Topping up

The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.











USED PRODUCTS

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.

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.

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.

The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil

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
.
