2022 PEUGEOT LANDTREK engine

97
Practical information
7tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.
Regularly remove foreign bodies trapped in the
tyre tread.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Fitting winter tyres to only one axle could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle. Fitting winter
tyres to both axles is recommended.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be
identified by this symbol on their
sidewalls.
Tyres older than 6 years should always be replaced, even if no damage or wear
has been found.
When a rim is warped, cracked or corroded,
it is essential to replace it as it may cause the
tyre to come off. Do not use a wheel with a
rim that has been damaged (even if has been
straightened out).
Swapping tyres

To optimise wear and increase the lifetime of the tyres, swap the tyres
approximately every 3,100 to 6,200 miles
(5,000 to 10,000 km) .
In the event of irregular wear, bring the
swapping forward.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is
important to have them regularly checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
The timing and accessory kits are used
from the time the engine is started until it
is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over
time.
A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is
reached first.
Maintenance
For more information on the Engine
compartment, in particular the location of the
components under the bonnet, refer to the
corresponding section.
For the maintenance of your vehicle, you can
also contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Vehicle maintenance must always be
carried out with the engine switched off
and the ignition off.
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).
Wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before working on the vehicle - risk of
burns!
Take care with objects or clothing that could
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan -
risk of strangulation!

98
Practical information
Always wear gloves, protective glasses and
suitable clothing to avoid direct contact with
liquids against the skin or eyes.
In the event of contact with the skin, wash
the affected area thoroughly 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. Seek medical
attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
Never go underneath the vehicle raised
using a jack; always use an axle
stand-type support.
When working on the vehicle's electrical
system, take care not to cause a short circuit -
risk of burns and fire.
Flammable products and all sources of heat
(sparks, for example) must be kept away from
the battery, the fuel tank and all components
of the fuel system.
Never run the engine in a closed space
without sufficient ventilation; always use a
ventilation system such as an exhaust gas
extractor, for example.
Never leave liquids (oil, coolant) unattended.
Keep these liquids out of the reach of children
and animals.
The liquids and components replaced must have the same characteristics and
comply with the manufacturer's
recommendations.
