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.
F t

remove it completely.
F

W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F

R
efit 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 .
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule.

p them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a P

dealer or a qualified workshop.
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

uge
Ot


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.

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 must be
between the marking " A" (MA X
located on the remote reservoir) and
the marking " B" (MIN located on the
main reservoir). If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the personalised service schedule for your
vehicle for details of the interval for this operation.

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 filter
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
uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Particle 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 new 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.
Other wise, have them checked by a Pe
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.

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. 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 Pe

brake
this system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
P
e

uge
Ot
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

uge
Ot
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

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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. For more information on the
Electric parking brake
, refer to the
corresponding section.
