Refit the protective cover for the ball.
Stow the towball in its bag.
Refit the protective blanking plug to the carrier.
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier remain clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high pressure
jet wash, the towbar harness socket carrier must
be folded away, the towball removed and the
protective blanking plug inserted in the carrier.Never leave the removable towball
unsecured in the boot. In the event of
sudden braking, a towball left loose
in the boot could present a danger to
passengers in the vehicle.
Furthermore, the towball and the boot
risk being damaged.
For any work on the towbar, go to
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Stowing the towball
It is recommended that the removable towball
be safely stowed, preferably in a storage space
below the boot floor.
Attach the towball using the bag tie cord.

Fitting roof bars
Maximum authorised weight on the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40 cm (with the exception of bicycle
carriers): refer to the instructions
provided with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fixings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects which are longer
than the vehicle.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for the installation of longitudinal bars.
To install transverse roof bars, observe the fitting positions indicated by markings on the
longitudinal roof bars.
Use accessories recommended by
PEUGEOT,


observing the manufacturer's
recommendations and fitting instructions
so as to avoid the risk of damaging the
body (deformation, scratches, ...).
To place a load on the roof, it is
necessary to mount the load on the
transverse roof bars.
The longitudinal roof bars are not
removable.
Advice on care and maintenance
Recommendations on the care and
maintenance of your vehicle are given in the
warranty and maintenance record.

The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories which are not recommended
by PEUGEOT may result in a failure of
your vehicle's electronic system and
excessive electrical consumption.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
for information on the range of
recommended equipment and
accessories.Installation of radio
communication
transmitters
Before installing any after-market radio
communication transmitter, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for the
specification of transmitters which can
be fitted (frequency, maximum power,
aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive

(2004/104/EC). Depending on the legislation in force in
the country, certain safety equipment
may be compulsory: high visibility

products in the "TECHNATURE" range, topping
up products (screenwash...), touch-up pens
and paint aerosols for the exact colour of your
vehicle, refills (cartridge for the temporary
puncture repair kit...), ...
"Multimedia":
audio systems, portable satellite navigation
systems, semi-integral support for portable
satellite navigation system, hands-free kit,
speakers, DVD player, connection kit for MP3
or CD player, CD player for touch screen...

Checking levels
Oil level
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel (depending
on version), or using the dipstick.Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record
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.
Oil specification
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
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 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).
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals
are correctly tightened (versions without quick
release terminals) and that the connections
are clean.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of specific
technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Diesel
Particle filter
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burnt" smell, which
is 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.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the warranty and maintenance record and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for details of
the replacement intervals for these
components.
Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
When carrying out any operation on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
starting work.
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. The start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by
the fixed illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).
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.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record 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 the 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 the checking interval for
this component.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.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.
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.
Checking this system must be done by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
