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...). 
u
se a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit 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 filter
, 
air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the 
schedule of operations recommended in the warranty and 
maintenance record.
With a Blue HDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is 
faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a P
euge O t
 
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the 
emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuellin
g, do not continue after the third cut-off of 
the nozzle to avoid any overflow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 
1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel 
consumption settle down to a consistent average.

After this operation, if you wish 
to disconnect the battery, lock 
the vehicle and wait for at least five 
minutes, otherwise the zero re-set will 
not be registered.
Engine oil level indicator
Depending on your vehicle's engine, 
when the ignition is switched on, the 
engine oil level is indicated for a few 
seconds, after the service information. Oil level correct
Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL", 
linked with the 
service warning lamp, 
accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message in the 
screen, indicates a low oil level which 
could damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a 
check using the dipstick, it is essential 
that the level is topped up.
Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"  
indicates a malfunction 
of the engine oil level 
indicator. Contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
t
 he level read will only be correct 
if the vehicle is on level ground 
and the engine has been off for 
more than 30 minutes. Dipstick

this level as a surplus of oil 
may damage the engine.

via the oil filler cap, using the 
grade of oil suited to your 
engine.
Lighting dimmer
With the ignition on, press 
the button until the zeros 
appear.
With the lighting on, 
press the button to vary 
the brightness of the

As soon as the lighting is of the 
required brightness, release the button.
Zero re-set
Your PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop carries out this operation 
after each service.
However, if you carry out the service 
yourself, the re-set procedure is as 
follows:
-
 
switch of

-
 
press and hold the trip recorder

manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the 
manufacturer, which meet the DO

t
he level must be between the MIN

a qualified workshop as soon as 
possible.
Warning lamps
If you have to remove / refit the 
engine style cover, handle it with care 
to avoid damaging the fixing clips.
Oil level
It is recommended that the oil level be 
checked every 3 000 miles (5 000 km) 
and topped up if necessary between oil 
changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level, 
engine cold, using the dipstick.

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the 
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging 
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the 
temperature of the coolant is controlled 
by the engine fan. As this fan can 
operate with the ignition key removed 
and because the cooling system is 
pressurised, wait for at least one hour 
after the engine has stopped before 
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to 
release the pressure to prevent any 
risk of scalding. When the pressure 
has dropped, remove the cap and top 
up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, 
this indicates a fault which must be 
checked by a Peuge O t
 dealer as 
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
the vehicle must be parked on level 
ground with the engine cold.  u nscrew 
the cap integrated with the gauge and 
check the level which must be between 
the MIN and MAX marks. In order to regenerate the filter, you 
are advised to drive at a speed higher 
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five 
minutes as soon as possible, when 
traffic conditions permit (until the 
message disappears and the service 
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle 
emission filter, the noise of a relay 
operating may be heard under the 
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and 
if the service warning lamp remains 
on, contact a P
euge O t
 dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
T
opping up
t
he level must be between the MIN 
and MAX marks on the expansion 
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is 
required to top up the level, have 
the system checked by a P
euge
O
t
 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp 
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your 
safety, we would advise that you use 
products of the P
euge O t
 range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid 
freezing, this fluid must not be topped 
up or replaced with plain water
.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir: 
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp 
washers, the capacity of the reservoir 
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level 
(Diesel with particle 
emission filter)
Topping up
t
his additive must be topped up by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil 
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and 
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid 
or coolant into drains or into the ground 
but into the containers dedicated to this 
use at a P
euge O t
 dealer (France) or 
an authorised waste disposal site.
t
he minimum level of this additive 
is indicated by lighting of the service 
warning lamp, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message in the 
screen.
When this occurs with the engine 
running it is due to the start of 
saturation of the particle emission filter 
(exceptionally prolonged urban type 
driving conditions: low speed, long 
traffic jams, ...).

CHECKSCarbon filter and passenger compartment filterParticle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must 
be carried out by a Peuge O t dealer .
On acceleration after the vehicle has 
been running for a prolonged period 
at very low speed or at idle, you may, 
in exceptional circumstances, notice 
the emission of water vapour at the 
exhaust. 
t
his water vapour does not 
have any adverse effect on vehicle 
handling or the environment.
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have 
your battery checked by a P euge O t 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style 
of driving, in particular for vehicles 
which are used in town, over short 
distances. It may be necessary to 
check the thickness of the pads, even 
between services.
u
nless there is a leak on the circuit, a 
drop in the brake fluid level indicates 
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake 
disc / drum wear, contact a P euge O t 
dealer
.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great 
or there is a reduction in the performance 
of the system, the parking brake should be 
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a P
euge O t
 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in 
accordance with the manufacturer's 
servicing schedule.
An access flap allows replacement of 
the filters.
The carbon filter permits continuous 
and effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter 
becomes blocked, this may reduce the 
performance of the air conditioning 
system and generate unpleasant 
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined 
passenger compartment filter. By 
means of its second special active 
filter, it contributes to the purification 
of the air breathed by the occupants 
and the cleanness of the passenger 
compartment (reduction of allergic 
symptoms, unpleasant odours and 
greasy deposits).
Refer to theservicing and warranty 
booklet for the replacement interval for 
these components. Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the 
vehicle (urban driving...), change them 
twice as often if necessary.
