Practical information

Removing the cartridge
)Stow the black pipe. )Detach the angled base from the white pipe.)Suppor t the compressor ver tically.)Unscrew the car tridge from the bottom.
Beware of discharges of fluid.
The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on the car tridge.
The sealant car tridge is designed for single use; even if only partly used, itmust be replaced. After use, do not discard the car tridgeinto the environment, take it to an authorised waste disposal site or a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealantcartridge, available from PEUGEOT dealers or from a qualified workshop.

Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, withoutinjecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle
tyres...).

)
Turn the selector Ato the "Air"
position.
) Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.)
Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fit one of the adaptorssupplied with the kit first.
) Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket. )
Star t the vehicle and let the engine run. )
Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B
in position "I"
; to deflate: switch B
in position "O"and press button C), according to the vehicle's tyrepressure label or the accessory's pressure
label. ) Remove the kit then stow it.

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.
