Compatibility of fuels
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel 
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, 
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited 
(risk of damage to the engine and fuel 
syste m).
The only Diesel fuel additives authorised 
for use are those that meet the B715000 
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the 
f ormation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel 
fuels could prevent the engine from operating 
correctly. In these temperature conditions, use 
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank 
more than 50
  % full.
At temperatures below -15
  °C (+5   °F) to avoid 
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle 
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage your vehicle’s 
engine.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular 
fuel may be required (specific octane 
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure 
correct operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, 
EN16734 and EN16709 standards respectively 
and containing up to 7%, 10%, 20% and 30% 
fatty acid methyl ester respectively. The use of 
B20 or B30 fuels, even occasionally, imposes 
special maintenance conditions referred to as 
"Arduous conditions".
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the 
EN15940 standard.

The fluids must comply with the 
manufacturer's requirements 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 
and very corrosive.Do not discard used oil or fluids into 
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers 
reser ved for this purpose at a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The oil level is checked on a level 
sur face with the engine stopped for 
at least 30   minutes, either using the 
oil level indicator in the instrument 
panel when the ignition is switched 
on (for vehicles equipped with an 
electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two 
ser vices (or oil changes). It is recommended 
that you check the level, and top up if 
necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000
  km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emissions control system, 
never use additives in the engine oil.

Particle filter (Diesel)
 or The start of saturation of the particle 
filter is signalled by the temporary 
illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by a message warning 
of the risk of the filter clogging up.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates 
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels , 
refer to the corresponding section.
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. New vehicle
The first particle filter regeneration 
operations may be accompanied by a 
"burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change).
Electronic 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.
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. 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.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any 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 adjusted, even between two 
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
