Oil level
PrincipleAdvice
Dipstick
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate the
dipstick and the oil filler cap on your engine.

- A = max; never exceed this
level,
- B = min; top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the
grade of oil suited to your
engine.

F Open the bonnet and secure it with the
st ay.
F Pull the dipstick out and wipe it with a clean
cloth.

F Return the dipstick to its tube.
Low oil level
F Identify the engine oil filler cap.
F Open the filler cap.
F Add engine oil with exceeding mark A .
F Fit the filler cap. Take car when working under the
bonnet, as some parts of the engine
can be very hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan can start at any time (even
with the ignition switched off).
If a level is found to be very low, have
the corresponding system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
A check of the engine oil level is only
valid if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for at least
30 minutes.
Oil grade: the oil used must meet
the specification given in the
manufacturer's servicing and warranty
booklet.

detach the blades from the windscreen.To maintain the effectiveness of the flat
wiper blades, it is advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy
water,
- avoid using them to retain
cardboard on the windscreen,
- replace them at the first signs of
w e a r.

Switching off:
Check the "Automatic emergency braking
deactivated " box.
The last selection remains in memory when the
ignition is switched off.
If the automatic emergency braking function is
deactivated, following each start a temporary
message will be displayed to signal this
once a speed threshold (6 mph - 10 km/h) is
exceeded.
To deactivate:
- Following an impact to the windscreen
close to the sensor.
- When towing a trailer.
- When the vehicle is being towed.
To check (whether it is necessary to deactivate
the function before):
- crossing a toll payment barrier.
- going through an automatic car wash.
Advice
To clean or clear: from the top of the
windscreen, any dirt, masking deposits or
accumulation of mist on the windscreen, any
stickers or leaves obstructing the field of vision
of the laser, as well as accumulations of snow
on the bonnet that could inter fere with the
perception of risks and so the measurement.
If the laser is obscured, a message appears
to suggest cleaning and/or demisting the
windscreen.
Remain particularly vigilant when driving
in poor weather (very heavy rain, hail, fog,
snow…) as braking distances increase while
the laser's calculation parameters stay the
same.Maintenance
Check that the sensor is not obscured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
- The message " Automatic braking system
fault " accompanied by an audible signal
indicating that a fault has been detected.
- Following an impact, the system is
automatically put out of service, it no longer
works. The system detects the deployment
of airbags.
Class 1M Laser Product : The laser
rays are invisible, do not look at it
directly with an optical instrument
(magnifying glass, microscope…) as
there is a risk of eye injury.
