Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle's
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the
driving wheels. They must never be fitted
to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size
195/65 R15
9
mm
19 5/ 70 R15
205/65 R15 215/5 5 R16215 / 5 0 R17
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixtures is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Installation advice
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.

Load distribution
F D istribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as
possible to the axle, and the nose weight
approaches the maximum permitted without
exceeding


it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
load which can be towed must be reduced by
10% per 1,000
metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their original
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It
is recommended that the installation be
per formed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
deactivated if an approved towbar is used. Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label and in the Technical data
section of
this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line
with the manufacturer's servicing 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. If you have to remove/refit the engine
cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive. Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of it in
the containers reser ved for this purpose.
Oil level
It is recommended that you check the oil every
3,000
miles (5,000 km) and that you top it up
between two oil changes, if necessary.
Check the level with the vehicle level, engine
cold, using the dipstick.

If this mark is not reached, top up the level
through the oil filler cap, using the type of oil
approved for your engine.
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.
Practical information

137
This must be done at the inter vals specified in
the manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask for
advice from a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil grade
In all cases, the chosen oil must meet
the requirements in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Brake fluid level
Coolant levelWhen the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the electric fan. This
may operate with the ignition off; furthermore,
because the cooling system is under pressure,
wait for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by a quarter of a turn to allow the pressure to
drop. Once the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap and top up the level with the coolant.
If coolant has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
To p p i n g u p
Oil change
The brake fluid must be changed at the
inter vals prescribed according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use brake fluid recommended by the
manufacturer, meeting the DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and MA X
marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this indicates
a malfunction which must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
Only use coolant recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise you risk causing serious damage to
your engine.

Screenwash fluid level
For optimal cleaning quality and safety, we
recommend that you use the PEUGEOT range
of products.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reser voir:
approximately 3

litres.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle filter)
A low additive level is indicated by
illumination of the Ser vice warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message on the screen.
If the message is still displayed and the Ser vice
warning lamp remains lit, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up without delay
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checks
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.
Brake pads
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.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Once the engine is started, this signals that
the particle filter is starting to saturate (in
conditions of urban driving of exceptionally long
duration: low speeds, traffic jams, etc.).
To regenerate the filter, you are advised to
drive as soon as possible, as traffic conditions
allow, at a speed of at least 37

mph (around
60

km/h) for at least five minutes (until the
Ser vice warning lamp goes off and the
message disappears).
Relay noises may be heard under the
dashboard during regeneration of the particle
f i l t e r. At the start of winter, have your battery checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filterOil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer’s
ser vicing schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
An access flap allows you to change the filters.
The carbon filter filters dust continuously and
ef f i c i e nt l y.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
reduce the per formance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours. We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
second special active filter, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record
for details on the replacement inter vals for
these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere, etc.) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving, etc.), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Bleeding water from the
Diesel filter
(Depending on the country of sale)
If this warning lamp comes on, the
filter must be bled. Other wise, bleed
it regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.

HDi engines make use of advanced
technology. Specialist knowledge is
needed for any work on the system,
which can only be assured by PEUGEOT
dealers.
When accelerating after 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. This
does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or
the environment.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of nitrogen oxide (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment. The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank with
a capacity of around 17 litres. An alert system
is triggered automatically once the reser ve
level is reached: you can then drive for a further
1,500

miles (2,400 km) before the tank is
emptied completely.
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system
r
equired by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR

system is faulty, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a running distance of
685

miles (1,100

km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, refer to the corresponding section.
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.

Procedure
Before topping up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue
® may be frozen and
so cannot be poured into its tank. Park your
vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to
allow the top-up to be carried out. F

O
btain an AdBlue
® container or bottle. After
first checking the use-by date, read the
instructions on the label carefully before
pouring the contents of the container or
bottle into your vehicle's AdBlue tank.
