Checks

Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel for vehicles with and electric oil level gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked on a level sur face and the engine having been off for more than 30 minutes.
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).
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the servicing booklet and the requirements of the warranty. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle.  Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.  Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth.  Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks Aand B .
A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not star t the engine . - If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. - If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil, check that the oil is the correct grade for your engine and conforms to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Checks
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.
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations and meet the DOT4 low viscosity / ISO 4925 Class 6 standard.
Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the oil filler cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle.  Unscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler aperture.  Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).  Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.  Add more oil if necessary.  After checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
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.
Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record 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.

Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.
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.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp wash fluid Screenwash and headlamp wash fluid Screenwash and headlamp
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen.
The cooling fan may star t after switching off the engine: take care with ar ticles and clothing that might become caught by the fan blades.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground. Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
Used products
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
A low additive level is indicated by illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen. When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan. Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.

Checks
Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance. However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
Refer to the servicing booklet for details of the replacement intervals for these components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed. Refer to the servicing booklet for details of the replacement interval for this component.
Oil filter The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification. The involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle 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, this indicates a low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is per fectly 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.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the servicing booklet and according to your engine. Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
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 . if necessary . if necessary A clogged passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect on the per formance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.

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 fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Electric parking brake
