Changing a fuse  
 
 
CHANGING A FUSE 
 
The two fuseboxes are placed on the 
dashboard on the driver’s side and under 
the bonnet. 
   
Removing and fitting a fuse 
 
Before changing a fuse, the cause of the 
fault must be found and rectified. The fuse 
numbers are indicated on the fusebox. 
  Always use the special tweezer to extract 
the fuse from its housing and check the 
condition of its filament. 
   
Always replace a faulty fuse with a fuse 
of the same rating.  
  If a fuse fails again soon after replacement, 
have the electrical system of your vehicle 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.    
Access to fuses in the dashboard 
   
 
-   To gain access to the dashboard fuses, 
remove the 2 screws using the ignition 
key and tilt the housing.  
    PEUGEOT will not accept responsibility 
for the cost incurred in repairing your 
vehicle or for rectifying the malfunctions 
resulting from the installation of accessories 
not supplied and not recommended by 
PEUGEOT dealers and not installed in 
accordance with its instructions, in particular 
when the combined consumption of all of 
the additional equipment connected exceeds 
10 milliamperes.    
 
A. 
  Good.  
   
B. 
  Failed.  
   
C. 
  Tweezer.  
 
   
Access to fuses in the engine 
compartment 
   
 
-   For access to the fuses in the engine 
compartment, remove the left hand front 
headlamp connector, then unclip the 
fusebox cover.

Fuel 
 
 
 
FILLING WITH FUEL 
 
Capacity of the fuel tank: approximately  
45  litres. 
 
 
Low fuel level 
 
When the minimum fuel tank level 
is reached, this warning lamp 
comes on. When it first comes on, 
you have approximately  
6  litres 
of fuel remaining. Refuel without delay to 
avoid running out of fuel.   Refuelling must be done  with the engine 
off.  
   
 
-   Open the fuel filler flap. 
   
-   Hold the filler cap with one hand. 
   
-   With the other hand, insert the key, then 
turn it a third of a turn. 
   
-   Remove the filler cap and hang it on the 
hook, located on the inside of the filler 
flap.  
 
FUEL CUT-OFF 
 
In the event of a serious collision, a device 
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the 
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply. 
  It also automatically unlocks the doors 
and switches on of the courtesy lamps. 
A message appears in the instrument panel 
screen according to version. 
  Turn the key to the  STOP  position to prevent 
discharging of the battery. 
  Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel 
outside the vehicle. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the 
system in STOP mode; you must switch 
off the ignition with the key.     
When the fuel filler flap is open, 
a safety system prevents sliding 
of the side door (Combi). 
  A label affixed to the inside of the flap 
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used. 
  Opening the filler cap may cause a noise 
resulting from the inrush of air. This vacuum 
is quite normal and results from the sealing 
of the fuel system. 
  When filling the fuel tank, do not continue 
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle; this could 
cause malfunctions. 
  After filling the fuel tank, lock the filler cap 
and close the flap.

Levels  
 
  These regular maintenance operations 
will keep your vehicle in good working 
order. Ask for advice from a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop or refer to the 
warranty and maintenance record provided 
in the handbook pack. 
  LEVELS 
 
 
Oil level 
 
Check the level regularly and top up 
between changes. The maximum oil 
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles 
(1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle 
level, engine cold, using the dipstick. 
   
Dipstick 
  There are two marks on the 
dipstick: 
   
A 
 = maximum 
  If you fill past this mark, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop. 
   
B 
 = minimum 
  Never allow the level to fall 
below this mark. 
  To preserve the reliability of engines and 
emission control systems, the use of 
additives in engine oil is prohibited.     
Oil change 
 
 
Brake fluid level 
 
The brake fl uid must be changed at 
the specifi ed interval, as given in the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule. 
  Use fl uids recommended by the manufacturer, 
which meets the DOT4 standard. 
  The level must be between the  MIN 
 and  MAX  
marks on the reservoir. 
  If fluid has to be added frequently, this 
indicates a fault which must be checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as 
soon as possible.  
 
 
Warning lamps 
 
Checking by means of the warning 
lamps in the instrument panel is 
described in chapter 1, refer to the 
"Instruments and controls" section.     This must be carried out at the specified 
interval and the viscosity grade of the oil 
selected must fulfil the requirements of the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask 
for advice from a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop. 
  Remove the dipstick before filling. 
  Check the level after filling (never exceed 
the maximum mark). 
  Refit the filler cap before closing the bonnet.  
  

 170
 
 
 
Levels  
 
 
 
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 
  The 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 PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
 
 
 
Power steering fluid level 
 
The vehicle must be parked on level ground 
with the engine cold. Unscrew 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 PEUGEOT 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 
PEUGEOT 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 PEUGEOT dealers (France) or at an 
authorised waste disposal site.

CHECKS 
 
 
Bleeding water from the Diesel 
filter 
   
If this warning lamp comes 
on, you must bleed the filter; 
otherwise bleed the filter 
regularly, every time the engine 
oil is changed. 
  To remove the water, unscrew the bleed 
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located 
at the base of the filter. Operate until all of 
the water has flowed out. Then tighten the 
bleed screw or the water sensor. 
  HDi engines use advanced technology. All 
work requires specialist knowledge, which 
all PEUGEOT dealers have.  
 
 
Battery 
 
At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.  
 
 
Air filter and passenger compartment filter 
 
A blocked passenger compartment filter 
may reduce the performance of the 
air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours. The replacement 
intervals for these components are indicated 
in the warranty and maintenance record. 
  Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle 
(urban driving...), change them twice as 
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the 
bonnet" section of chapter 7.  
 
 
Brake pads 
 
Brake pad wear depends on the type of 
driving, in particular for vehicles which are 
used in town, over short distances. It may 
be necessary to check the brake pad wear, 
even between services. 
  Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop 
in the brake fluid level indicates that the 
brake pads are worn.  
 
 
Brake disc / drum wear 
 
For all information on checking the brake 
disc / drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
 
 
Parking brake 
 
Where the parking brake travel is too great 
or there is a reduction in the performance 
of the system, the parking brake should be 
adjusted, even between services. 
  Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
 
 
Oil filter 
 
Change the filter regularly, in accordance 
with the servicing schedule.      
 
 
 
 
 
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.

Manual gearbox 
 
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change). 
  Refer to the warranty and maintenance 
record for the details of the level checking 
interval for this component.  
  To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to 
the pages of the warranty and maintenance 
record which correspond to your vehicle's 
engine. 
  Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality 
and specification. 
  In order to optimise the operation of units as 
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT 
selects and offers specific products. 
  In order to avoid damaging the electrical 
units, high pressure washing to clean the 
engine compartment is strictly prohibited. 
  After washing the vehicle dampness, or in 
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and 
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. 
Make some light brake applications to dry 
and de-ice the brakes. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
Particle filter system (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. 
  This filter, fitted to the exhaust system, 
accumulates particles of soot. The 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. This 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. 
  This 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). 
  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.  
   
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 PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Electronic gearbox 
 
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change). 
  Refer to the warranty and maintenance 
record for details of the checking interval for 
this component.  
  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.
