► 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.
In extremely cold conditions, we
recommend replacing your engine's oil
with an oil with a more appropriate viscosity
which will help improve engine starting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to find out which type of oil is suited
to your vehicle's engine.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable
for your engine and complies with the
recommendations in the service schedule
supplied with the vehicle (or available
from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
your 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 engine compartment
illustration.
Never remove the oil filler cap with the
engine running. Risk of burns and
splashes inside the engine compartment.
►

Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills
on engine components (risk of fire).
►

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.
Brake fluid

The level of this fluid should be close to
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pads for 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.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the
vehicle parked on level ground and with the
engine cold.
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 level of coolant that is too low risks causing
major damage to the engine; the coolant level
must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever
going above it.
If the level is close to or below the " MIN" mark, it
is essential to top it up.
When topping up with a cold engine, start the
engine and slowly add coolant until it reaches
the "MAX" mark.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant 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 CarM an uals 2 .c o m

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.
For more information on the Engine
compartment, in particular the location
of the Diesel fuel filter, refer to the
corresponding section.
Particle filter (Diesel)
(Depending on version)
With HDi Diesel engine
The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert
message.
With BlueHDi Diesel engine
The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary
flashing of the first warning lamp and the
temporary lighting of the second warning lamp,
accompanied by an alert message.
As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37
mph
(60

km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500
rpm, for about 20
minutes (until the warning lamp
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37
mph (60 km/h),
leave the engine running at idle for about
20

minutes, then drive with an engine speed
above 2,500 rpm for 20
minutes.
Do not switch off the engine until the filter
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is
stationary is not recommended.
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).
Automatic gearbox

Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment - risk of
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
move the electronic key away.
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet
nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from
the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas
containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's
paintwork (including tree resin, bird
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for advice on removing stubborn
stains requiring special products (such as tar
or insect removers).
Apply silicone oil to the door and window
seals every year and regularly lubricate the
door hinges and the locks.
To avoid damaging the seals when the vehicle
is parked for a long time, apply silicone-based
lubricant to the door seals and wax on the
bodywork in contact with the seals.
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Interior
When washing the vehicle, never use a
water hose or high-pressure jet to clean
the interior.
Liquids carried in cups or other open
containers can spill, presenting a risk of CarM an uals 2 .c o m
