Engine oil change
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Access to the tank
F Unclip the plastic cover, located at the bottom of the windscreen, by pressing on
both tabs.
When you unclip the plastic cover, make
sure not to remove the seal.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
The level of this fluid must be
between the marks " FULL" or "F"
and " LOW " or "L". The check and top up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
two turns to release the pressure. After it has
dropped, remove the cap and top up.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specifications
These fluids must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

qualified workshop.
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.
For more information on the precautions
to take before starting work on the 12 V
battery , refer to the corresponding
section.
Air filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary .
Passenger compartment
filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it 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.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Clutch
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.
The clutch is mechanically operated and
requires regular adjustment.If there is a
malfunction (for example,
difficulty in pulling away), contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with
a ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with
antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for
the prevailing conditions, in order to preser ve
the elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts,
e t c .) .
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
