   
Limit the causes of excess 
consumption 
   
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; 
place the heaviest items in the bottom 
of the boot, as close as possible to the 
rear seats. 
  Limit the loads carried in the vehicle 
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, 
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use 
a roof box in preference. 
  Remove roof bars and roof racks after 
use.  
   
At the end of winter, remove snow 
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.  
 
 
 
Observe the recommendations 
on maintenance 
   
Check the tyre pressures regularly, 
when cold, referring to the label in the 
door aperture, driver's side. 
  Carry out this check in particular: 
   
 
-   before a long journey, 
   
-   at each change of season, 
   
-   after a long period out of use.  
  Don't forget the spare wheel and the 
tyres on any trailer or caravan.  
   
Have your vehicle serviced regularly 
(engine oil, oil fi lter,  air fi lter...)  and 
observe the schedule of operations 
recommended by the manufacturer.  
 
    
When refuelling, do not continue after 
the 3 rd   cut-off of the nozzle to avoid 
any overfl ow.  
   
At the wheel of your new vehicle, 
it is only after the fi rst  1 800 miles 
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see 
the fuel consumption settle down to a 
consistent average.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
  Check all of these levels regularly and 
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated. 
  If a level drops signifi cantly, have the 
corresponding system checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed  work-
shop. 
   
Brake fluid level 
 
 
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi  lter, the fan may operate 
after the vehicle has been switched off, 
even if the engine is cold.   
  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 pressure to 
drop. When the pressure has dropped, 
remove the cap and top up the level. 
   
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. 
  After topping up the oil, the check when 
switching on the ignition with the oil level 
indicator in the instrument panel will only 
be valid 30 minutes after topping up.   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.  
 
 
Power steering fluid level 
 
The power steering fl uid  level 
should be close to the "MAX" 
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the 
engine cold, to check the level.      
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.  
   
It is normal to top up the oil level 
between services. PEUGEOT re-
commends that you check the oil 
level and top up if necessary every 
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).     
Fluid specifi cation 
  The brake fl uid must conform to the 
manufacturer's recommendations and 
meet the DOT4 standard.  
    
Changing the coolant 
  The coolant does not have to be changed.  
 
 
Coolant level 
 
The coolant level should be 
close to the "MAX" mark but 
should never exceed it. 
  When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan. 
This can operate with the ignition off. 
   
Fluid specifi cation 
  The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.  
     
When working under the bonnet, 
take care, as certain areas of the 
engine may be extremely hot (risk 
of burns).     
Oil specifi cation 
  The oil must be the correct grade for 
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

CHECKS
   
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 checking 
brake disc wear, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Manual gearbox 
 
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil 
change). 
   
Refer to the servicing book-
let for the details of the level 
checking interval for this com-
ponent.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Automatic gearbox 
 
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil 
change). 
  Refer to the servicing booklet 
for details of the level checking 
interval for this component.     
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Only use products recommended 
by PEUGEOT or products of equi-
valent quality and specifi cation. 
  In order to optimise the operation 
of units as important as the braking 
system, 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 
.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Parking brake 
 
 
If excessive travel or a loss of 
effectiveness of this system 
is noticed, the parking brake 
must be checked, even be-
tween two services. 
  Checking this system must be done by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
