The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a door, the boot, the 
bonnet...
- interior volumetric
The system checks for any variation in the volume in the passenger compa\
rtment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a window, enters the passenger 
compartment or moves inside the vehicle.
- tilt
The system checks for any change in the attitude of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if the vehicle is lifted, moved or knocked.For all work on the alarm system, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified
	 workshop.

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 may 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 manufacturer's 
service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If
	
a
	
level
	
drops 	 significantly, 	 have 	 the 	 corresponding 	 system 	 checked 	 by 	
a
	
PEUGEOT
	
 dealer 	 or 	 a 	 qualified 	 workshop.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked 
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.
F
 
T
 ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.
F	 Wipe
	 the 	 end 	 of 	 the 	 dipstick 	 using 	 a 	 clean 	 non-fluffy 	 cloth.
F	 Refit
	 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 = MA
x
B
 = MIN
If 	 you 	 find 	 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 	 qualified 	 workshop.
-
 
If the level is below the 
 MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.

correct grade of oil for your engine and that it meets the manufacturer'\
s 
recommendations.
Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section to identify the \
location
	 of 	 the 	 oil 	 filler 	 cap 	 in 	 the 	 engine 	 compartment 	 of 	 your 	 vehicle.
F	 Unscrew
	 the 	 oil 	 filler 	 cap 	 to 	 reveal 	 the 	 filler 	 aperture.
F	 Add
	 oil 	 in 	 small 	 quantities, 	 avoiding 	 any 	 spills 	 on 	 engine 	
components
	 (risk 	 of 	 fire).
F
 
W
 ait a few minutes before checking the level again using the 
dipstick.
F
 
Add more oil if necessary
 .
F	 After
	 checking 	 the 	 level, 	 carefully 	 refit 	 the 	 oil 	 filler 	 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 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.
