engine oil is prohibited.


Changing the brake fluid

The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.


Warning lamps

These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or the
servicing booklet enclosed in the handbook
pack.
If you have to remove/refit the engine
style cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.

Oil level

Check the level regularly and top up
between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.

Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
Oil change

It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements
in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule. Ask for advice from a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
For the 2 litre HDi engine, use the funnel
supplied when filling via the sump opening.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the max mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.

Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the
manufacturer's requirements.
Checking by means of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel is
described in chapter 2, refer to
the "Instruments and controls" section.

CHECKS


Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.


Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.


Brake disc/drum wear

For any information on checking the brake
disc/drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.


Parking brake

Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.


Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.


Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
The carbon filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate
unpleasant odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. By means of
its second special active filter, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Refer to the servicing booklet to find out the
replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

This filter actively contributes
to the preservation of air quality
by trapping unburnt polluting
particles. It is controlled
completely and automatically by the engine
management system.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk
of blockage of the filter.
This alert signals the start of saturation of
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally
prolonged driving in urban conditions:
reduced speed, traffic jams…).
If this alert persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended
that as soon as driving conditions permit,
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning lamp goes off and/or the message
disappears). Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.

On certain types of ground and/or if heavy
loads are being transported, the vehicle
must be raised in order to disengage
the spare wheel from the carrier. Call a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If your vehicle is fitted with suspension
with pneumatic height correction,
please deactivate the system. Refer to the
"Rear suspension" section of chapter 3.
