Operating faults
In the event of a fault, this warning 
lamp flashes for a few seconds, 
accompanied by an audible signal.
In the event of a fault with the 
power steering, this warning lamp 
is displayed in the instrument panel, 
accompanied by a message.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle 
and the space is too great, the system may 
not be able to measure the space.
Any object projecting beyond the 
dimensions of the vehicle (e.g. a ladder on 
the roof or a towball) will not be taken into 
account by the Park Assist system during 
a manoeuvre.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that 
the sensors are not covered by dirt, ice 
or
 
snow.
In the event of a fault, have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.

Fitting directly to the roof
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care 
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as 
close as possible to the roof.
Lash the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to the effects of side winds 
and the stability of the vehicle may be 
affected.
On a long journey, check the security of 
the load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars once they are no 
longer needed.Sunroof
Check that the load does not pass below 
the roof bars so that it does not impede 
the movements of the sunroof.
You must only attach the transverse bars to 
the four fixing points located in the roof frame. 
These points are concealed by the vehicle 
doors when the doors are closed.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be 
inserted into the opening of each fixing point. Maximum load distributed across the 
transverse roof bars, for a load height not 
exceeding 40
  cm (except bicycle carrier): 
80   kg
.
For more information, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the height exceeds 40   cm, adapt the 
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the 
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and 
the vehicle's anchorage points.
For transporting objects which are longer 
than the vehicle, refer to local legislation.
Bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet, 
deactivate the Stop & Start system to 
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an 
automatic change to START mode.
The location of the interior bonnet release 
lever prevents opening of the bonnet when 
the left-hand front door is shut.
When the engine is hot, handle the 
exterior safety catch and the stay with 
care (risk of burns), using the protected 
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to 
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy 
conditions.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with 
the manufacturer's service 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.The fluid must comply with the 
manufacturer's recommendations and 
with the vehicle's engine.
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).
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.
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 equipped with an 
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your 
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face 
with the engine stopped for more than 
30
 
minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between 
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT 
recommends that you check the level, and top 
up if necessary, every 3,000
  miles (5,000   km).

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
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine 
and emissions control system, never use 
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close 
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check 
the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule 
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's 
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid 
between two services. A low coolant level presents a risk of serious 
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X" 
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark, 
it is essential to top up.
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 the risk of scalding when you need to 
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around 
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to 
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the 
cap and top up to the required level.
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.Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's 
recommendations.
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.
The check and top up must only be done with 
the engine cold. 
Practical information

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.).
Diesel fuel additive level 
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reser voir low level is 
indicated by fixed illumination of this 
warning lamp, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message that 
the particle filter additive level is 
too low.
To p p i n g  u p
The reser voir must be topped up without delay 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue level
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is 
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per 
regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue and the SCR 
system, and in particular topping it up, refer to 
the corresponding section.

Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these 
components in accordance with the 
manufacturer's service schedule and 
depending on your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a 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.
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.
Filter, passenger compartment
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.

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.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the 
engine oil is changed.
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 about 
the risk of the filter clogging up.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, 
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed 
of at least 37
  mph (60   km/h) until the 
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates 
a low Diesel 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. This does not 
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the 
environment.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change).
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 wear
For information on checking brake 
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any 
routine servicing. However, in the 
event of a problem, have the system

Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and 
deteriorates above 25°C. Containers should 
be stored in a cool area and protected from 
direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept 
for at least a year.
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it 
has completely thawed out.
Never store AdBlue
® containers in your 
vehicle.
Precautions for use
In certain conditions (high temperature, for 
example), the risk of release of ammonia 
cannot be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. 
Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on 
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children, 
in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top up procedure, ensure 
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level 
sur face.
In winter, check that the temperature of the 
vehicle is above -11°C. If not, in freezing 
weather, the AdBlue
® cannot be poured into the 
tank. Park your vehicle somewhere warmer for 
a few hours before topping up.
In the event of an AdBlue
® breakdown, 
confirmed by the message "Add AdBlue: 
Starting impossible", you must top up with 
at least 5
 
litres.
Never pour AdBlue
® into the Diesel fuel 
tank. If any AdBlue
® is splashed, or if there 
are any spillages on the side of the body, 
rinse immediately with cold water or wipe 
with a damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off 
using a sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after 
a breakdown because of a lack of 
AdBlue,  you must wait around 5
  minutes 
before switching on the ignition, without 
opening the driver's door, locking 
the vehicle, introducing the key into 
the ignition switch, or introducing 
the key of the 
 
K
 eyless Entr y and 
Star ting system into the passenger 
compartment .
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 
10
 
seconds before starting the engine.

AdBlue
® is a urea-based solution. This fluid 
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless 
(stored in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the 
affected area with soap and running water. In 
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately 
rinse the eyes with large amounts of water 
or with an eye wash solution for at least 
15
 
minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation 
persists, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth 
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
