With the engine running, when the needle is:
- i n zone A , the temperature of the engine 
coolant is correct,
-
 
i
 n zone B, the temperature of the engine 
coolant is too high; the maximum 
temperature and the central STOP  warning 
lamps come on, accompanied by an 
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 
engine.
Contact a P
e
ugeot  dealer or a qualified 
workshop. After driving for a few minutes, the temperature 
and pressure in the cooling system increase.

Engine coolant temperature Service indicator
System which informs the driver when the 
next service is due, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
th
e point at which the next service is due is 
calculated from the last indicator zero reset, 
depending on the distance travelled and the 
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

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

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 .

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.
F  u

aperture.

 fter 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.
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.

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.Refer to the manufacturer's 
service schedule for details of the 
replacement intervals for these 
components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the 
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's 
service schedule for details of 
the replacement interval for this 
component.
Oil filterParticle filter (Diesel)
the start of saturation of the particle 
filter is indicated by the temporary 
illumination of this warning lamp 
accompanied by a message in the 
multifunction screen.
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.
For more information on Checking 
levels , refer to the corresponding 
section.
on a n
ew vehicle, the first particle 
filter regeneration operations may be 
accompanied by a "burning" smell, 
which is per fectly 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. 
t
h
 is does 
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle 
or the environment.un
less otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's 
service schedule and according to your engine.
ot
her wise, have them checked by a P
e
ugeot
 dealer or a qualified workshop.
For more information and the precautions to 
take before starting work on the 12 V batter y , 
refer to the corresponding section. 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.
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 P
e
ugeot
 dealer or a 
qualified workshop. 
Practical information  

277
Manual 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.  
Brake pads
For information on checking brake 
disc wear, contact a Peugeot  
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
only use products recommended by 
Pe ugeot  or products of equivalent 
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of 
units as important as those in the 
braking system, P
e
ugeot  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.
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.
Checking this system must be done by a 
P
e
ugeot  dealer or a qualified workshop.
It may be necessary to have the condition of 
the brakes checked, even between vehicle 
services.
un
less there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in 
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake 
pads are worn.
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.
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.
