Engine coolant level
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine cooling fan. As this fan
can operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.
Topping up
t
he level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the header tank. If more than
1 litre of fluid is required to top up the level,
have the system checked by a P
euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Power steering fluid level
the vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. u nscrew the cap with
integral gauge and check the level which
must be between the MIN and MAX marks.
Screenwash fluid level
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
topping up or replacement of this fluid
should never be with plain water; we
recommend the use of products available
from P
euge O t
dealers.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately


3
litres.
Slacken the cap by two turns to release the
pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
P
euge
O
t
dealer or a qualified workshop as


soon as possible.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the
skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground, but
into the containers provided for this purpose
at P
euge O t
dealers (France) or at an

authorised waste disposal site.

Particle filter (1.3 HDi 75)
An addition to the catalytic converter, this
filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by the retaining
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.
t
his filter, fitted to the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot.
t

he engine
control unit manages the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
the regeneration procedure is invoked
according to the quantity of particles
accumulated and the driving conditions
of the vehicle. During this phase, you
may notice some unusual phenomena -
increased idling speed, cooling fan running,
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas
temperature
- which does not affect the
operation of the vehicle or the environment.
After prolonged idling or driving at very low
speeds, you may occasionally notice water
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when
accelerating.
t

his is of no consequence
to the running of the vehicle or to the
environment. Saturation / Regeneration
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
t

his alert tells you that the
particle filter is starting to fill up (in
conditions of urban driving of exceptionally
long duration: low speeds, traffic jams etc.)
to regenerate the filter

, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a speed of at least
40 mph (around 60 km/h), with an engine
speed above 2 000 rpm for about fifteen
minutes (until the warning lamp and/or the
message disappears). Operating fault
If this alert persists, do not ignore the
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred
in the exhaust / particle filter system.
Have it checked by a P
euge O t
dealer or a

qualified workshop.
Because of the higher exhaust
gas temperature resulting from the
normal operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles,
...) so as to avoid
any risk of fire. If possible, avoid switching off the
engine before the end of regeneration
of the filter, repeated interruptions could
cause premature deterioration of the
engine oil. It is not recommended to end
regeneration of the filter with the vehicle
stationary.
