Levels
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP06_VERIFICATIONS_ED01-2014
LEVELS
To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
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
These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or the
servicing and warranty booklet enclosed in
the handbook pack.
If you have to remove / refit the engine
style cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes.
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. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specifi ed and the viscosity grade of the oil
selected must fulfi l the requirements in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask for
advice from a PEUGEOT dealer.
Remove the dipstick before fi lling.
For the 2 litre HDi engine, use the funnel supplied
when fi lling via the sump opening.
Check the level after fi lling (never exceed the
max mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before closing
the bonnet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the
manufacturer's requirements. Checking by means of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel
is described in chapter 2, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section.

Checks
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP06_VERIFICATIONS_ED01-2014
CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For any 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.
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
The carbon fi lter permits continuous and effective
fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger
compartment fi lter. By means of its second special
active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation of the
air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness
of the passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and greasy
deposits).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet to fi nd
out the replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle (urban
driving...), change them twice as often if necessary.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
This filter actively contributes
to the preservation of air quality
by trapping unburnt polluting
particles. It is controlled
completely and automatically by the engine
management system.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk
of blockage of the filter.
This alert signals the start of saturation of
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally
prolonged driving in urban conditions:
reduced speed, traffic jams…).
If this alert persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended
that as soon as driving conditions permit,
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning lamp goes off and/or the message
disappears).
Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.

Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Good practice
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.
Bleeding the water contained in the
Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the end of the transparent
pipe.
Operate until all of the water in the
transparent pipe has been drained out then
tighten the bleed screw.
HDi engines use advanced technology.
Contact a PEUGEOT or a qualified
workshop for all work on the system. 1.6 litre HDi

2 litre HDi
During this regeneration, you may notice
that the idling speed is higher than normal
and that the cooling fan is running. As
operation of the exhaust emissions controls
may cause the exhaust gas temperature to
reach very high levels, it is recommended
that you do not stop the vehicle over easily
inflammable surfaces (dry grass and leaves,
pine needles, edge of a meadow or forest).

SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking. The snow chains must be fitted only to
the driving wheels. They must never be
fitted 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. Advice on installation

If you have to fit the chains during
a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat
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.
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 fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain
or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to
the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
215/65 R15 12 mm
215/60 R16
MICHELIN
