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.

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.

must be level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst
gear (position P
for the automatic gearbox) to lock the wheels.
It is imperative that you ensure that the occupants get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite
the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
Security socket: for adaptation of the
wheelbrace to the special "security" bolts.
Specifi c to your vehicle, it is stored in the
glove box.
Wheelbrace: for removal of the wheel fi xing
bolts.
Jack with integrated handle: for lifting the
vehicle.
TOOLS REQUIRED *

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Use only the chains designed to be fi tted to the type of wheel fi tted to
your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
235/45 R18
not chainable
235/40 R19
For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
The snow chains must be fi tted only to the front wheels. They
must never be fi tted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.
Avoid driving on roads that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It is
recommended that before you leave, you practise fi tting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface. If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fi xings is in contact
with the wheel rim.
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
225/45 R18 9 mm
Advice on installation
)
If you have to fi t the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a
fl at surface on the side of the road.
)
Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
)
Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
)
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding
30 mph (50 km/h).
)
Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly
tightened.
