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.
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.
