vehicles, barriers, street lamps, road signs, etc.).
–
 
Oncoming traffic.
–
 
Driving on a winding road or a sharp corner
 .
–
 
When overtaking or being overtaken by a very 
long vehicle (lorry
, bus, etc.) that is detected 
in the rear blind spot but is also present in the 
driver’s front field of vision.

Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this 
warning lamp flashes for a few 
moments in the instrument panel, accompanied 
by the Service warning lamp coming on and the 
display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary  interference in certain weather conditions 
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface or 
moving from a dry area to a wet area can 
cause false alerts (for example, the presence 
of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot 
angle is interpreted as a vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the 
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in 
the door mirrors or the detection zones on the 
front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels 
or other objects; they may hamper correct 
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot  Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door 
mirror on the side in question, a correction of 
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross 
a lane marking with the direction indicator 
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active 
Lane Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot 
Monitoring System. These two functions must be activated and in 
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40 
and 87
  mph (65 and 140   km/h).
These functions are especially suitable for 
driving on motorways and main roads.

11 . Degassing screw*
The Diesel fuel system operates under 
very high pressure.
All work on this circuit must be carried out 
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in 
accordance with the manufacturer's service 
schedule. Top them up if required, unless 
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the 
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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).
* Depending on engine.
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 reserved 
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine  having been switched off for at least 30 
minutes and on level ground, 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 
services (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.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer 
to the illustration of the corresponding engine 
compartment.
►
 
Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and 
pull it out completely
.
►
 
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, 
lint-free cloth.
 
 
► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, 
then pull it out again to visually check the oil 
level: the correct level is between marks  A
  (max) 
and B (min).
Do not start the engine  if the level is:
–
 
above mark 
 A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop.
–
 
below mark  B
: top up the engine oil 
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine 
oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine 
and complies with the recommendations in 
the service schedule supplied with the vehicle

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.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any  maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals 
are correctly tightened (versions without quick 
(or available from your PEUGEOT dealer and 
qualified workshops).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate 
the contractual warranty in the event of 
engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please 
refer to the corresponding under-bonnet engine 
compartment illustration.
►
 
Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills 
on engine components (risk of fire).

 ait a few minutes before checking the level 
again using the dipstick.
►
 
T
 op up the level if necessary.
►
 
After checking the level, carefully screw the 
oil filler cap back on
  and replace the dipstick in 
its tube.
Within 30 minutes of adding oil, the oil 
level indication in the instrument panel 
when the ignition is switched on is not valid. 
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to  the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake 
pad wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be 
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing 
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill. 
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed 
container.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between 
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with 
the engine cold.
A low level presents a risk of serious damage to 
the engine.
The level of this fluid should be close to the 
"MAX" 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 this 
fluid is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at 
least one hour after switching off the engine 
before carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need 
to top up in an emergency, wrap 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.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when  necessary.
Capacity of the tank:
–
 
5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.
– 2.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a ready-to-use 
mixture.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid 
containing an agent to prevent freezing must 
be used which is appropriate for the prevailing 
conditions, in order to protect the elements of the 
system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under 
all circumstances (risk of freezing, 
limestone deposits, etc.).
