CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
 Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-
mum consumption is 0.5 l per
600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle lev-
el, engine cold, using the oil level
gauge on the instrument panel or the
dipstick.
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fill past this mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the containers
intended for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network.
Brake fluid level:
The brake fluid must be changed
according to the manufacturer’s
servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
Note: brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake flu-
id or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.
Dipstick
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Cooling system
Use the fluid 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 op-
erate 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.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
For vehicles equipped with a
particle filter, the engine fan may
operate after the ignition has
been switched off, even when the
engine is cold.
Power steering reservoir
 Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the
MIN. mark and close to the MAX.
mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise that
you use products recommended by
PEUGEOT.

CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT
or products of equivalent
quality and specifications.
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers quite specific products.
To prevent damage to the electri-
cal units, avoid washing the en-
gine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is nec-
essary to re-prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears
in the transparent pipe under the
bonnet,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.
Disc wear status
For any information relating to check-
ing the disc wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty con-
ditions, change them twice as
often.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of the
servicing booklet which corres-
pond to your vehicle’s engine.

93Practical information-
Access to the spare wheel and the
jack
The wheel is located outside the ve-
hicle, under the boot, supported by a
metal carrier.
- Remove the wheelbrace 1, secured
on the rear right inner panel of
the boot .
- Using the wheelbrace 1, slacken
the spare wheel carrier retaining
bolt, located inside the boot un-
der the carpet .
- Lift the carrier to release the hook rearwards, then lower it.
- Remove the jack storage box 2 lo-
cated in the spare wheel.
CHANGING A WHEEL
Parking the vehicle
- If possible, park the vehicle on lev- el, stable and non-slippery ground.
- Apply the handbrake, engage first or reverse gear (position P for the
automatic gearbox). Removing a wheel
- Chock the rear of the wheel di-
agonally opposite the wheel to be
changed, using the jack storage
box.
- Remove the wheel trim using the wheelbrace, by pulling at the valve
passage hole.
- Slacken the wheel bolts.
- Place the jack under the locating point on the sub-frame E that is
closest to the wheel to be changed.
Ensure that the entire surface of
the jack base plate is in contact
with the ground.
- Extend the jack, completely un- screw the bolts and remove the
wheel.

Practical information94 -
For your safety, always change a wheel:
- on level, stable and non slippery ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
- with first or reverse gear engaged,
- with the vehicle chocked using the jack storage box,
- never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack (use an axle stand).
After changing the wheel
- Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the spare tyre checked as soon as possible by a PEUGEOT dealer.
- Have the punctured tyre repaired and replace it on the vehicl e as soon as possible.
- The space-saver spare wheel fitted with a 115/70 R15 tyre must only be use dtemporarily :

SPECIAL FEATURES OF
ALLOY WHEELS
Bolt covers
Alloy wheel bolts are covered by
chrome trims.
Use the yellow tool 4 to remove the
trims before slackening the bolts.
Tool 4 is located on the rear right in-
ner panel of the boot.
Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a
steel spare wheel, when fitting it, it is
normal to notice that the bolt wash-
ers do not come into contact with the
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the cone shape of each bolt.
Wheel anti-theft bolts
If your wheels are fitted with anti-theft
bolts (one per wheel), the chrome-
plated trim cap and then the plastic
cover on the wheel must be removed,
using the yellow tool (located in the
box fixed to the left-hand side of the
boot), before slackening the bolt us-
ing the anti-theft socket (located in
the glove box) and the wheelbrace,
located in the boot rear right inner
panel.
Note: take a careful note of the code
number engraved on the head of the
anti-theft socket. This will enable you
to obtain a duplicate anti-theft socket
from a PEUGEOT dealer.
Fitting snow tyres
If you fit snow tyres that are mounted
on steel rims onto your vehicle, it is
essential that you use special bolts
available from your PEUGEOT dealer.

storage box may differ from those shown in the paragraph "Changi ng a wheel" in
the section "Practical information".
The illustrations on this page show the alternative version.
Changing a wheel is identical to the method describ ed in the paragraph "Changing
a wheel" in the section "Practical information", ex cept that the folding shim located
in the storage box must be used to chock a wheel. T he box also contains the tool
provided for removal of the bolt covers.
