2013 Peugeot RCZ oil level

CHECKING LEVELS



















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.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start
at any time (even with the ignition off).



If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the servicing booklet and the requirements of the warranties. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.


Engine oil change

Refer to the servicing and warranty 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 two services (or oil
changes). PEUGEOT recommends that you check 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.


Oil specification

The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.












BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

The brake fl uid level should be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fluid

Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for details of the interval
for this operation.


Fluid specification

The brake fl uid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT3 or DOT4 standard.












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.

CHECKS









ADDITIVE LEVEL (DIESEL WITH PARTICLE
EMISSIONS FILTER)
The additive reservoir low level is indicated by fi xed
illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message that the particle emissions fi lter additive
level is too low.

Topping up

The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.









USED PRODUCTS

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.











COOLANT LEVEL


The coolant level should be close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
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.





The cooling fan may start after switching off the engine: take
care with articles and clothing that might become caught by the
fan blades.




Changing the coolant

The coolant does not have to be changed.


Fluid specification

The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.























SCREENWASH AND HEADLAMP
WASH FLUID

In the case of vehicles fi tted with headlamp washers, the low
fl uid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in
the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.


Fluid specification

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain water.

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 circumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.

The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Battery"
section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.

The start of saturation of the particle emissions fi lter is
indicated by the temporary illumination 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 permit, 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 servicing and warranty booklet and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.





















AIR FILTER AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILTER


Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet 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 performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Replace the oil fi lter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for details of the
replacement interval for this component.

BRAKE PADS
BRAKE DISC WEAR

The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for the details of
the level checking interval for this component.
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for details of the
level checking interval for this component.
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 qualifi ed workshop.
















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 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
between two services.

Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
