Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fl uid must be
changed at the intervals stat-
ed, according to the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards. Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT .
When the level is low, this is indicated
by an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction display.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Cooling system
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can ope-
rate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
Lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, indicates that the die-
sel additive level is low.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.

Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
The level must always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark. Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fl uid or coolant into
drains or into the ground.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the ve-
hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick.

CHECKS
Handbrake Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance
of the system, the hand-
brake should be adjusted,
even between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil
change. Have the level checked
in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule. Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that maintenance of
the particle emission fi lter is carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer in accord-
ance with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule. Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to the
wear of the surfaces of the discs and
drums, contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter
Change the fi lter regular-
ly, in accordance with the
servicing schedule.
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent quali-
ty and characteristics.
To ensure best performance
from components as important as the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects
and offers quite specifi c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing of the
engine compartment is strictly pro-
hibited .
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the servicing book-
let for information on the re-
placement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the ve-
hicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often, if necessary (refer to
the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and produce unpleasant odours.
To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servic-
ing schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle’s engine.
Following prolonged opera-
tion of the vehicle at very
low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circum-
stances, notice steam coming from
the exhaust during acceleration. This
has no effect on the performance of
the vehicle or on the environment.
