CHECKS

Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold,
unscrew the cap to check the
level.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance
record for details of the interval for this
operation.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the
fan.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
become caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
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.
Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel
engine" section for the location of the oil
fi ller cap in the engine compartment of
your vehicle.
 Unscrew the oil fi ller cap to reveal
the fi ller aperture.
 Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components
(risk of fi re).
 Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.
 Add more oil if necessary.
 After checking the level, carefully re- fi t the oil fi ller cap and the dipstick in
its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check
when switching on the ignition with
the oil level indicator in the instru-
ment panel is not valid during the
30 minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance
record 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.

CHECKS
CHECKS
Battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the termi-
nals are clean and correctly tight-
ened, particularly in summer and
winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Battery" section for details of the pre-
cautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
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 .
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 warranty and
maintenance record for details
of the replacement interval for
this component.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology and specifi -
cation. The involvement of a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is essen-
tial when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
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 cir-
cumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on
acceleration. This does not affect
the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment. The start of saturation of the
particle emissions fi lter is in-
dicated by the temporary illu-
mination 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 per-
mit, 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.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the war-
ranty and maintenance record and accord-
ing to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
2. Infl ation
 Turn the selector A to the
"air" position.
 Uncoil the black pipe H fully.
 Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel.  Connect the compressor's electric
plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
 Start the vehicle again and leave the engine running.  Adjust the pressure using the com-
pressor (to infl ate: switch B in
p osition "I" ; to defl ate: switch B in
position "O" and press button C ),
in accordance with the vehicle's tyre
pressure label (located on the left
hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or quali-
fi ed workshop for assistance.
 Remove and stow the kit.
 Drive at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 120 miles
(200 km).
As soon as possible, go to a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
You must inform the technician
that you have used this kit. After in-
spection, the technician will advise
you on whether the tyre can be re-
paired or if it must be replaced.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Removing the cartridge
 Stow the black pipe.
 Detach the angled base from the white pipe.
 Support the compressor vertically.
 Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom.
Beware of discharges of fl uid.
The expiry date of the fl uid is indi-
cated on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed
for single use; even if only partly
used, it must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the car-
tridge into the environment, take
it to an authorised waste disposal
site or a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new
sealant cartridge, available from
PEUGEOT dealers or from a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, with-
out injecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- infl ate other accessories (balls, bi- cycle tyres...).
 Turn the selector A to the
"Air" position.
 Uncoil the black pipe H fully.
 Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fi t one of the adaptors supplied with the kit fi rst.  Connect the compressor's electri-
cal connector to the vehicle's 12 V
socket.
 Start the vehicle and let the engine run.
 Adjust the pressure using the com- pressor (to infl ate: switch B in po-
sition "I" ; to defl ate: switch B in
position "O" and press button C ),
according to the vehicle's tyre pres-
sure label or the accessory's pres-
sure label.
 Remove the kit then stow it.
The vehicle's electric system al-
lows the connection of a compres-
sor for long enough to infl ate a tyre
after a puncture repair or for infl at-
ing a small infl atable accessory.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
12 V BATTERY
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
 open the bonnet using the interior release lever, then the exterior safe-
ty catch,
 secure the bonnet stay,
 remove the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.
The presence of this label, in par-
ticular with the Stop & Start system,
indicates the use of a 12 V lead-acid
battery with special technology and
specifi cation; the involvement of
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop is essential when replac-
ing or disconnecting the battery.
After refi tting the battery, the
Stop & Start system will only be
active after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a pe-
riod which depends on the climatic
conditions and the state of charge
of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
Procedure for starting the engine us-
ing another battery or charging a dis-
charged battery.
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the
parking brake, put the gearbox into
neutral (or position
P if your ve-
hicle has an automatic gearbox),
then switch off the ignition.
Check that all electrical systems
are off.
Do not reverse the polarity and use
only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.
Ensure that the battery posts and
terminals are clean. If covered in
sulphate (white or green deposits),
remove and clean them.

The batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and
must not, in any circumstances, be
discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special
collection point.
