Checking tyre pressures /
inflatin
g accessories

You can also use the compressor, without injecting any product, to:


- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,

- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle
tyres...).

)
Turn the selector A
to the "Air"
position.
) Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.)
Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fit one of the adaptorssupplied with the kit first.
)Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.)Star t the vehicle and let the engine run.)Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B in position "I"
; to deflate: switch B
in position "O"and press button C), according to the vehicle's tyrepressure label or the accessory's pressure
label. )Remove the kit then stow it.

Checks






Checking levels
Oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using theoil level indicator in the instrumentpanel, or using the dipstick.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for
details of the inter val for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliabilit
y of the engine and emission control system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer'srecommendations.
Th
e brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level

Changing the fl uid

Refer to the ser vicing and warranty booklet for
details of the interval for this operation.

Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT3 or DOT4 standard.



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 star t at
any time (even with the ignition off).

If a level drops si
gnificantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the ser vicing booklet and the requirements of the warranties. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
It is normal to top up the oil levelbetween two ser vices (or oil changes).PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).

After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
durin
g the 30 minutes after topping up. It will onl
y be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.

Checks
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for the details of the level checking interval for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing and warranty
booklet for details of the checking interval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing and warranty
booklet for details of the levelchecking interval for this component. Brake wear depends on the st
yleof driving, par ticularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system isnoticed, the parking brake must be checked, even between two ser vices.















Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,or in wintry conditions, ice, can formon the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make lightbrake applications to dry and defrostthe brakes.
Checkin
g this system must be done by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
