Motoring & the environment
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 
manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is 
faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to a P
eugeo T 
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the 
emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, 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.

This must be carried out at 
the intervals specified in the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask 
for advice from a Peugeo T dealer.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never 
exceed the max mark).
Refit the oil filler cap before closing the 
bonnet.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at 
the intervals stated, according to the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the 
manufacturer, which meet the D
o T4 
standard.
The level must be between the MIN 
and MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, 
this indicates a fault which must be 
checked by a P
eugeo T dealer or 
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.
Dipstick
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must 
meet the requirements specified in the 
manufacturer's service schedule.
These regular maintenance 
operations will keep your vehicle 
in good working order. Ask for 
advice from a P eugeo T dealer or 
refer to the warranty and maintenance 
record in the handbook pack.
Checks using the warning 
lamps in the instrument panel 
is described in chapter 3, 
"Instruments and controls" 
section.
There are two marks on 
the dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark, 
contact a P
eugeo T 
dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to 
fall below this mark.
To maintain the reliability 
of engines and emission 
control systems, the use 
of additives in engine oil 
is prohibited.

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the 
manufacturer.
o
therwise, 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 P
eugeo 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
eugeo T dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
topping up
The 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
eugeo
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
eugeo 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 
filter)
topping up
This 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
eugeo T dealer (France) or 
an authorised waste disposal site.
The 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 filter 
(exceptionally prolonged urban type 
driving conditions: low speed, long 
traffic jams, ...).

Checks
good practice
only use products recommended by 
P eugeo T or products of equivalent 
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation 
of units as important as the braking 
system, P
eugeo T selects and offers 
specific products.
Bleeding water from the Diesel 
filter Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the 
electrical units, high pressure 
washing to clean the engine 
compartment is strictly prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness, 
or in winter, ice may form on the brake 
discs and pads: braking efficiency may 
be reduced. Make some light brake 
applications to dry and de-ice the 
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes 
on, bleed the filter. Otherwise 
bleed regularly each time the 
engine oil is changed.
 HDi engines use advanced 
technology
. All work requires 
special training, so should be 
entrusted to a P
eugeo
T dealer.
Depending on country of sale. To drain the water, unscrew the bleed 
screw located on the filter.
o
perate until all of the water no longer 
flows in the transparent pipe, then 
tighten the bleed screw.
