2014 Peugeot RCZ oil level

CHECKING LEVELS
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine m\
ay be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start
at any time (even with the ignition off).
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be on
level ground and the engine must have been off for more than
30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil chang\
es).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top up if
necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
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-fl uffy cloth.
- Refi t the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks A and B . A = MAX
B = MIN
If you fi nd that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do
not start the engine .
- If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine),
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
- If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.

CHECKS
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
The brake fl uid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval\

for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fl uid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
The power steering fl uid level should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
Topping up the engine oil level
Oil grade
The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section to identify the \
location of the oil fi ller cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
- Unscrew the oil fi ller cap to reveal the fi ller aperture.
- Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fi re).
- Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.
- Add more oil if necessary.
- After checking the level, carefully refi t the oil fi ller 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.

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.

CHECKS
CHECKS
BATTERY PARTICLE EMISSION FILTER (DIESEL)
On a new vehicle, the fi rst particle fi lter regeneration operations
may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly
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.
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Battery"
section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting \
the battery and following its reconnection.
The start of saturation of the particle emissions fi lter is
indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the risk
of blockage of the particle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions permit, regenerate the fi lter by driving
at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes of\
f.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with
the warranty and maintenance record and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
AIR FILTER AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILTER
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of
the replacement intervals for these components.
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 .
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may have an adverse effect
on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace the oil fi lter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of
the replacement interval for this component.

MANUAL GEARBOX
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
BRAKE PADS BRAKE DISC WEAR
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.
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil
change).
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.
