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
s
 e 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:
-
 
b
 efore a long journey,
-
 
a
 t each change of season,
-
 
a
 fter 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
e
ugeot  dealer or a qualified 
workshop without delay to have the emissions 
of nitrogen oxides brought back to the legal 
level. When refuelling, do not continue after the third 
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
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.

audible signal and a warning message in 
the touch screen.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off the

System which informs the driver when the 
next service is due, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
th

calculated from the last indicator zero reset,

time elapsed since the last service.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the degree of 
deterioration of the engine oil is also taken into 
account (depending on the country of sale).Checking the level

Engine oil level  
indicator
on versions fitted with an electric oil gauge, 
information on the oil level is displayed in the 
instrument panel for a few seconds when the 
ignition is switched on, at the same time as the 
service information.
th
e level read will only be correct if 
the vehicle is on level ground and the 
engine has been off for more than 
30
 
minutes.
Oil level correct
this is indicated by a message in the 
instrument panel.
Oil level incorrect
this is indicated by a message in the 
instrument panel.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using 
the dipstick, the level must be topped-up to 
avoid damage to the engine.
Oil level indicator fault
this is indicated by a message in the 
instrument panel. Contact a Pe ugeot  dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
Dipstick
there are 2 marks on the 
dipstick:
-
 
A
  = max; never exceed this 
level,
-
 
B
  = min; top-up the level via 
the oil filler, using the grade 
of oil suited to your engine.
to l
ocate the dipstick and the oil filler 
cap for the Diesel engine , refer to the 
corresponding section.

16709 is possible in your Diesel engines. 
However, this use, even occasional, requires 
strict application of the special servicing 
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions". 
For more information, contact a P
e
ugeot  
dealer or a qualified workshop.
th
e use of any other type of (bio)fuel 
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, 
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of 
damage to the engine and fuel system).
on
ly the use of Diesel fuel additives that meet 
the standard B715000 is authorised.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill 
the tank but this must be done slowly.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, 
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can 
in direct contact with the flap of the 
misfuel prevention device.Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different 
in other countries, the presence of the misfuel 
prevention device may make refuelling 
impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend that 
you check with the P
e
ugeot  dealer network, 
whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel 
pumps in the country in which you want to 
travel.

Checking levels
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).
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.Checking using the dipstick
the location of the dipstick is shown in the 
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a P

A = MA X
to e
nsure that the reading is correct, your 
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face 
with the engine having been off for more than 
30
 
minutes.
It is normal to top-up the oil level between 
two services (or oil changes). P
e
ugeot
 
recommends that you check the level, and top-
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms). B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or 
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .

of damage to the engine), contact a 
P

must top-up the engine oil.

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
the location of the oil filler cap is shown in the 
corresponding underbonnet layout view.

aperture.

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.
th
e brake fluid level should be close 
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check 
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule 
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
the brake fluid must conform to the 
manufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
the coolant level should be close 
to the "MA X" mark but should never 
exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, 
wait at least one hour after switching off the 
engine before carrying out any work.
to a
void any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap 
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When 
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and 
top up the level. The cooling fan may star t after switching 
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and 
clothing that might be caught by the fan 
blades. When the engine is warm, the temperature of 
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Check the coolant level regularly, according 
to the use made of your vehicle (every 
3 000
 
miles or 5 000 kms / 3 months); if 
necessary, top-up using coolant recommended 
by the manufacturer.
to
pping-up the coolant between services is 
normal.
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.
