Practical information
Particle filter (Diesel)
(Depending on version)The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert
message.
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.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when necessary.
Tank capacity: 3 litres.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed
product.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid
containing an anti-freeze agent which is
appropriate for the temperature conditions
must be used in order to protect the system's
components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).
Filling with pure water is prohibited in all
circumstances (risk of freezing,
limescale, etc.).
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
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.
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 any work on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Passenger compartment
filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter
can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Diesel fuel filter
Change the Diesel fuel filter according to
the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
A clogged Diesel fuel filter can reduce engine performance and damage the
injection system.
Bleeding water from the Diesel fuel
filter
If this warning lamp comes on, bleed the
filter. Otherwise, bleed regularly at each
engine oil change.
–

T

o drain the water, unscrew the bleed screw
located under the filter.
–

Operate it until all the water in the transparent
tube has drained, then tighten the bleed screw
again.

compartment, in particular the location
of the Diesel fuel filter, refer to the

Practical information
► Clean the seal face using a clean, lint-free
cloth.
► Screw the new filter back on, making sure
that the seal is correctly positioned against the
contact surface.
► Tighten the Diesel fuel filter correctly with
your hands without forcing to avoid leaks.
After the operation, bleed the air contained in the fuel system.

(Diesel) and in particular the procedure for
bleeding the Diesel fuel system, refer to the
corresponding section.

► Switch off the engine and the ignition.
► Unscrew and remove the engine oil filler cap.
►

Under the vehicle, place a container below
the drain plug.
Do not remove the drain plug when the
engine is hot - risk of burns (hot oil)!
►

Loosen the drain plug with a suitable wrench
and remove it.

ait until the oil has completely drained into
the container.
►

Change the plug seal and screw the plug
back on the housing (tighten to a torque of 3.5 to
4 daN.m).
For more information on Engine oil and in
particular on oil filling and checking the level,
refer to the corresponding section.
Always change engine oil with an oil corresponding to the engine and in
accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Never start the engine without oil - risk of
serious damage to the engine!
Be careful, the oil is a petroleum-based
product. It is harmful if swallowed and
irritating to the skin and eyes.
Keep the drained oil out of the reach of
children and animals.

Cleaning the throttle body
Removing the throttle body
Petrol engine


Diesel engine

► Switch off the engine and the ignition.
► Disconnect connector 1
from the throttle
body.
►

Loosen the clamp 2

on the air hose.
►

Disconnect the air hose A

from the throttle
body.
►

Unscrew and remove the screws 3

fixing the
throttle body to the air intake manifold.
►

Remove the throttle body B

, ensuring that the
seal does not fall.
When the throttle body is removed,
always make sure that no debris or dust
enters the engine air intake pipe or the intake
manifold - risk of serious damage to the
engine!
Never start the engine when the throttle body
is removed.
Cleaning the throttle body
Before cleaning, make sure that you
correctly protect the electrical connector
of the throttle body against any projection of
liquid (oil, water, detergent or solvent).
►

Remove grease and carbon deposits from
the surface of the main duct with a specific
"carburettor" type cleaner

.
►

Rotate the throttle valve inside the duct to
clean the seats on each side.
►


Wipe and dry the throttle body with a soft,
lint-free cloth.
If no cleaning has been done for a long
time, deposits may be difficult to remove.
Clean and wipe the throttle body
several
times with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Never immerse the throttle body in a
cleaning liquid or in an ultrasonic tank.
Never use:
–

detergents containing methyl ketone or
other highly corrosive substances as well as
household cleaning detergent;
–


cleaning products directly on the throttle
bearings as well as on the body's connector;
–


hard, sharp or abrasive tools to remove
difficult deposits. Use a soft cloth with a
suitable detergent.
Refitting the throttle body
Before refitting the throttle body, check
the condition of the seal. If it is damaged,
replace it with a new one.
