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 for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
A = MA X
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at
any time (even with the ignition off).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine having been off for more
than


30


minutes. B = MIN
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).Checking using the dipstick
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .

of damage to the engine), contact a

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.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
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.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.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Topping-up the engine oil level
F Locate the oil filler cap in the engine
compartment of your vehicle.

engine, refer to the corresponding section.

Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle filter)
Used products
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up with or
replaced with plain water.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.
Top up the reservoir when you next stop
the

vehicle.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
A low additive level is indicated by
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message in the instrument panel screen.
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.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" 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 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.
Coolant level
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
become caught by the fan blades. In wintry conditions, the use of an
ethyl alcohol or methanol base fluid is
recommended.

Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule 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 filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
12 V batteryThe 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
"12

V battery" section for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery and following its
reconnection.
Particle filter (Diesel)
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.
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. The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the
multifunction 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.
For more information on checking levels, refer
to the corresponding section.
