Engine oil level indicator*
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on, after
the service information.Oil level correct
Oil level lowOil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
the engine oil level is no longer monitored.
When the system has a fault, you should check
the engine oil level using the manual dipstick
(located under the bonnet).
This is signalled by the flashing of " O I L"
, or the
display of a message "Oil level incorrect" in the
instrument panel, accompanied by illumination
of the service warning lamp and an audible
signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
prevent damage to the engine.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section. This is signalled by the flashing of "OIL- -"
or the
display of a message "Oil level measurement
invalid" in the instrument panel. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The level shown will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30 minutes. * Depending on version.Refer to the "Checking levels" section.

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.
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). 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).
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine.

f the level is above the MAX mark (risk
of damage to the engine), contact a

vehicle must be parked on a level sur face

Checks

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.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
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.
Topping-up the engine oil level

compartment of your vehicle.

engine, refer to the corresponding section.

In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Checks

Particle filter (Diesel)
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.
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.
Air filter and passenger compartment 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.
Oil filter
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. 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.
Checks

203
Brake disc wear Brake pads
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 fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval
for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the level checking interval for this
component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the level checking interval for this
component. This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Electric parking
brake
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
For more information on the
electric parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
