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 in the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
Engine oil change
Refer to the ser vicing and warranty booklet for
details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliabilit
y 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 closeto 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 and warranty booklet for
details of the inter val for this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet the
DOT3 or DOT4 standard.

Power steering fluid level

The power steering fluid level should be 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, in line with the ser vicing booklet and the requirements of the warranties. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
Ta k e c a r e w h e n w o r k i ng under the bonnet, as
cer tain areas of the engine may be extremelyhot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan couldstart at any time (even with the ignition off).

It 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). PEUGEOT recommends that youcheck the level, and top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on
the ignition with the oil level indicator in the instrument
panel is not valid during the 30 minutes after topping up.

Checks
6-speed electronic
gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing and warrantybooklet for details of the checking
interval for this component.
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to
Brake pads
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The star t of saturation of the par ticle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the
multi-function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,regenerate the filter 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, thisindicates a low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first par ticle filter regeneration operations may beaccompanied by a "burning" smell,which is perfectly normal.Following prolonged operation of thevehicle at very low speed or at idle,you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour atthe exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.

The 100% electric mode is not available
during regeneration of the par ticleemissions filter.
have the condition of the brakes checked, evenbetween vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brakepads are worn.

Checks
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Brake disc wear Electric parking brake

This system does not require anyroutine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or aqualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,or in wintry conditions, ice, can formon the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make lightbrake applications to dry and defrostthe brakes.
For more information, refer to the "Electric
parking brake - Operating faults" section.

Technical data























Weights and towed loads (in kg)

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
* The kerb wei
ght is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg).
**
The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
