Safety
Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving onsnow: Intelligent Traction Control.This automatic system continuously checksfor situations of difficult surface adhesion thatcould make it difficult to move off or makeprogress on deep fresh snow or compactedsnow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Controllimits the amount of wheel slip toprovide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,mud…), it can be useful to temporarily deactivate the dynamic stability control andwheel anti-slip
systems to allow a degree of
wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow tyres are strongly recommended on sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.


Operation


Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution
(EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),make sure that these are approved for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal. When this warnin
g lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle whenbraking.
When this warnin
g lamp comes on, coupled with the STOPwarning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the electronic brake forcedistribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Checks






Checking levels






Before doing anything under the bonnet,
switch off the ignition (Readylamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.
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). PEUGEOTrecommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check whenswitching on the ignition with the oil levelindicator in the instrument panel is not validduring the 30 minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for details of the
interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engineand 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'srecommendations.

Th
e 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 ser vicing booklet for details of the
interval for this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet the
DOT4 standard.

Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level shouldbe close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level. If a level drops si
gnificantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).
