2014 Peugeot RCZ recommended oil

LIMIT THE CAUSES OF EXCESS
CONSUMPTION
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof\

bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refi t your summer tyres.
OBSERVE THE RECOMMENDATIONS ON
MAINTENANCE
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter,
passenger compartment fi lter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down \
to a consistent average.

Before operating the spoiler, ensure that no one is in the proximity
of the moving parts to avoid any risk of injury.
Nevertheless, in the event of pinching, you must reverse the
movement of the spoiler. To do this, release the control button
then press it again to raise the spoiler.
MAINTENANCE
To maintain the spoiler, with the vehicle stationary, ignition on:
 raise the spoiler to the maximum position B by pressing the
button briefl y,
 once the cleaning is complete, retract the spoiler: press and hold the button until the end of the manoeuvre.
The keep this system in good working order, check the spoiler and its
housing periodically preventing the unwanted accumulation of leaves,
ice or snow.
OPERATING FAULT
If the control system fails, the indicator lamp in the control button
fl ashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen. As a safety precaution, the spoiler rises to the maximum
position, regardless of the speed of the vehicle.
If the problem persists and you wish to retract the spoiler:
 stop where it is safe to do so,
 switch off the ignition,
 switch the ignition on again.
If the indicator lamp no longer fl ashes, the failure was temporary, the
system has resumed normal operation. To retract the spoiler, refer to
the paragraph "To exit from manual mode".
If the indicator lamp fl ashes again and the spoiler is still raised, the
system is still faulty.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a system operating fault (e.g. jamming of the spoiler)\
, the
indicator lamp in the control button fl ashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. For safety reasons, do not exceed
a speed of 85 mph (140 km/h).
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Before washing the vehicle, always retract the spoiler into its
housing.
Keep the end of the high-pressure nozzle at least 1 metre from the
spoiler housing. Never press on the spoiler to close the boot or push the vehicle as
this may damage it.
The installation of load-carrying accessories on the vehicle limits
the effectiveness of the spoiler.
Do not install load carrying accessories which are not
recommended by PEUGEOT.
To exit from manual mode:
 press the button briefl y: the indicator lamp on the button goes off
(return to automatic mode).
At speeds below 6 mph (10 km/h), the spoiler stays in the open
position. It retracts automatically as soon as the vehicle exceeds
this speed threshold.

SAFETY
FIXED SPOILER
The installation of carrying accessories on the vehicles reduces
the effectiveness of the spoiler.
Only install carrying accessories that are recommended by
PEUGEOT.
When pushing the vehicle, do not press on the spoiler as there is
a risk of damaging it.
When washing your vehicle with a high pressure jet-wash, keep
the end of the lance at least 1 metre away from the spoiler.

DIESEL FUEL ADDITIVE LEVEL (DIESEL WITH
PARTICLE EMISSIONS FILTER)
The additive reservoir low level is indicated by fi xed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message that the particle emissions fi lter additive level is
too low.
Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
USED PRODUCTS
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
COOLANT LEVEL
The coolant level should be close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hou\
r
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. The cooling fan may start after switching off the engine: take
care with articles and clothing that might become caught by the
fan blades.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
SCREENWASH AND HEADLAMP WASH FLUID
In the case of vehicles fi tted with headlamp washers, the low
fl uid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in
the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol or methanol base fl uid is
recommended.

The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil

Refer to the warranty and maintenance record 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 those
in the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specifi c
products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice
can form on the brake discs and pads: braking effi ciency may
be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the
brakes.
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.
