LEVELS 
   
Oil change 
 
This must be carried out at the 
intervals specifi ed and the viscosity 
grade of the oil selected must fulfi l the 
requirements in the manufacturer's 
servicing schedule. Ask for advice from 
a PEUGEOT dealer. 
  Remove the dipstick before fi lling. 
  Check the level after fi lling (never 
exceed the max mark). 
  Refi t the oil fi ller cap before closing the 
bonnet. 
   
Changing the brake fluid 
 
The brake fl uid must be changed at 
the intervals stated, according to the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule. 
  Use fl uids recommended by the 
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4 
standards. 
  The level must be between the MIN 
and MAX marks on the reservoir. 
  If fl uid has to be added frequently, 
this indicates a fault which must be 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualifi ed workshop as soon as 
possible.  
 
 
Warning lamps 
 
If you have to remove / refi t the 
engine style cover, handle it with 
care to avoid damaging the fi xing 
clips. 
   
Oil level 
 
It is recommended that the oil level be 
checked every 3 000 miles (5 000 km) 
and topped up if necessary between oil 
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 fi ll past this mark, 
consult a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop. 
   
B 
 = minimum 
  Never allow the level to 
fall below this mark. 
  To maintain the reliability 
of engines and emission 
control systems, the use 
of additives in engine oil 
is prohibited.  
    
Viscosity selection 
  In all cases, the oil selected must meet 
the manufacturer's requirements.  
    These regular maintenance 
operations will keep your vehicle 
in good working order. Ask for 
advice from a PEUGEOT dealer or 
refer to the servicing booklet in the 
handbook pack. 
  Checks using the warning 
lamps in the instrument panel is 
described in chapter 2, refer to the 
"Instruments and controls" section.   

   
 
Levels

Cooling system 
 
Only use the fl uid recommended by the 
manufacturer. 
  Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging 
your engine. 
  When the engine is warm, the 
temperature of the coolant is controlled 
by the engine fan. As this fan can 
operate with the ignition key removed 
and because the cooling system is 
pressurised, wait for at least one hour 
after the engine has stopped before 
carrying out any work. 
  Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to 
release the pressure to prevent any 
risk of scalding. When the pressure 
has dropped, remove the cap and top 
up the level with coolant. 
  If fl uid has to be added frequently, 
this indicates a fault which must be 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as 
soon as possible. 
   
Power steering fluid level 
 
The vehicle must be parked on level 
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew 
the cap integrated with the gauge and 
check the level which must be between 
the MIN and MAX marks.    In order to regenerate the fi lter, you 
are advised to drive at a speed higher 
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve 
minutes as soon as possible, when 
traffi c conditions permit (until the 
message disappears and the service 
warning lamp goes off). 
  During regeneration of the particle 
emission fi lter, the noise of a relay 
operating may be heard under the 
dashboard. 
  If the message is still displayed and 
if the service warning lamp remains 
on, consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop. 
   
Topping up 
  The level must be between the MIN 
and MAX marks on the expansion 
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is 
required to top up the level, have 
the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
 
 
 
Screenwash and headlamp 
wash level 
  For best quality cleaning and for your 
safety, we would advise that you use 
products of the PEUGEOT range. 
  For optimum cleaning and to avoid 
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped 
up or replaced with plain water. 
  Capacity of the screenwash reservoir: 
approximately 3 litres. 
  If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp 
washers, the capacity of the reservoir 
is 6 litres.  
 
 
Diesel additive level 
(Diesel with particle 
emission filter) 
   
Topping up 
  This additive must be topped up by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop without delay.  
 
 
 
Waste products 
 
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil 
with the skin. 
  Brake fl uid is harmful to health and 
very corrosive. 
  Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid 
or coolant into drains or into the ground 
but into the containers dedicated to this 
use at PEUGEOT dealer (France) or 
an authorised waste disposal site.     The minimum level of this additive 
is indicated by lighting of the service 
warning lamp, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message in the 
screen. 
  When this occurs with the engine 
running it is due to the start of 
saturation of the particle emission fi lter 
(exceptionally prolonged urban type 
driving conditions: low speed, long 
traffi c jams, ...).

Bleeding water from the Diesel 
filter    
Manual gearbox 
 
Have the level checked in accordance with 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
 
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 
specifi c products. 
  In order to avoid damaging the 
electrical units, high pressure washing 
to clean the engine compartment is 
strictly prohibited.    If this warning lamp comes 
on, bleed the fi lter. Otherwise 
bleed regularly each time the 
engine oil is changed. 
  To drain the water, unscrew 
the bleed screw located on the fi lter. 
  Operate until all of the water no longer 
fl ows in the transparent pipe, then 
tighten the bleed screw. 
  HDi engines use advanced technology. 
All work requires special training, which 
is assured by a PEUGEOT dealer.
