CHECKING LEVELS

















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 be-
tween two services (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.
Take care when working under
the bonnet, as certain areas of
the engine may be extremely
hot (risk of burns).






Before doing anything under the
bonnet, switch off the ignition
( Ready
lamp off) to avoid any
risk of injury resulting from automatic
operation of the engine.


If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corre-
sponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Check all of these levels regularly and top
them up if necessary, unless otherwise
indicated.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet 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.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.












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 fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.

Fluid specifi cation
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. With the engine cold, un-
screw the cap to check the level.











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 ig-
nition off.
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 pres-
sure 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 specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.








For vehicles fi tted with a particle
emissions fi lter, the cooling fan may
continue to run after stopping the ve-
hicle, even if the engine is cold.






















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 next stop
the vehicle.

CHECKS
168
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.









Diesel additive level (Diesel engine
with particle emission filter)








Used products


Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.






Before doing anything under
the bonnet, switch off the igni-
tion ( Ready
lamp off) to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from auto-
matic operation of the engine.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up with or replaced with plain water.

Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the servic-
ing booklet and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

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" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.













12 V battery




















Air filter and passenger compartment filter


Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
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
.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours.















Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component. A low additive level is indicated
by illumination of the service
warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible warning and a
message in the instrument
panel screen.

CHECKS
169








Particle emission filter (Diesel)

As soon as the traffi c condi-
tions 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, this in-
dicates a low additive level.

Brake disc wear














Brake pads

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 circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
For information on check-
ing brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.







6-speed electronic gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
terval for this component.
















Electric parking brake

This system does not require any routine ser-
vicing. However, in the event of a problem,
have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


For more information, refer to
the "Electric parking brake -
Operating faults" section.






The 100% electric mode is not available
during regeneration of the particle emis-
sions fi lter. The start of saturation of the
particle fi lter is indicated by
the temporary illumination
of this warning lamp accom-
panied by a message in the
multi-function screen.

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.






















Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as the braking sys-
tem, 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
.
