Engine oil quality
These warning lamps light up and  a message is displayed at each 
start: the system has detected a deterioration of 
the engine oil.
It is essential to change the oil as soon as 
possible.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Driving
Do not exceed the maximum towable 
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower 
air density at high altitudes decreases engine 
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the 
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles 
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the 
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the 
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to the 
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it 
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum 
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer 
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is 
used, the rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible 
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant 
temperature to increase. The maximum towable 
load depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not 
increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to 
limit the amount of heating produced.
►
 
Pay constant attention to the coolant 
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP 
warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle 
and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit 
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances 
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain a code, which must be 
recognised by the vehicle before starting is 
possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the 
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

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, 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.

  (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).

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

Practical information
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.
Filling up with engine coolant
Do this when the engine coolant reservoir is 
empty or when the cooling system has been 
drained.
► 
Open the cap on the reservoir and top up 
until the level reaches the " MAX
" mark.
►
 
Replace the cap on the engine coolant 
reservoir
.
►
 
Increase engine speed to 2,000 rpm until the 
radiator's intake hose becomes hot.
►
 
Allow the engine to cool and add coolant until 
the level reaches the " MAX
" mark.
►
 
Do this repeatedly until the level in the 
reservoir no longer drops.
We recommend using a coolant that 
contains a glycol-based long-life 
anti-freeze agent.
Never use water to fill or top up the 
coolant system - risk of freezing and 
damaging the engine!
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.).
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is 
reached.
For more information on the  Indicators and in 
particular 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.

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!
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.
