–  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 
(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
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the 
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
►  Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills 
on engine components (risk of fire).

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).
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.

After checking the level, carefully refit the oil 
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
During the 30 minutes after topping up 
the oil, the check performed with the oil 
level indicator 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.
If topping up, clean the cap before 
replacing it. Use only DOT4 brake fluid 
from a sealed canister.
Engine coolant
Check the engine coolant level regularly.
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.
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 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.).

regeneration operations, you may notice a 
"burning" smell. This is perfectly 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).
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.
Filling with pure water is prohibited under 
all circumstances (risk of freezing, 
limestone deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel 
with particle filter)
 or On reaching the minimum level 
in  the particle filter additive tank, 
this warning lamp comes on fixed, accompanied 
by an audible warning and a message warning 
that the additive level is too low.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up without delay by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is 
reached.
For more information on the  AdBlue range 
indicators, refer to the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in 
accordance with regulations, you must top up the 
AdBlue tank.
