CHECKING THE LEVELS Brake fluid level Used oil
Oil level
 Check the level regularly
and top up between chang-
es. The maximum consump-
tion is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick. This fl uid must always be at the
maximum level.
The brake fl uid must be changed
according to the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the manu-
facturer, which fulfi l DOT4 standards.

Note : brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Cooling system
Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine at
ambient temperature. The level should
always be above the MIN. mark and
close to the MAX. mark.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements. Windscreen wash level Avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the con-
tainers intended for this purpose
in the PEUGEOT network.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fl uid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground.
This fl uid must always be at the
maximum level (circular line).
Use the fl uid recommended by
the manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is controlled by the
engine fan. As this fan can operate 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 release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.

Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed. For best quality cleaning and to
avoid freezing, this fl uid must
not be topped up or replaced
with water.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil is prohibited.

CHECKS
Check these components, or have them
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer, in ac-
cordance with the servicing booklet and
in relation to your engine.
Battery
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter Brake pads
Handbrake
Brake disc/drum wear Oil filter
Manual gearbox
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equiva-
lent quality and specifi cations.
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Have the fi lter elements re-
placed regularly.
If you drive
in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often. Brake pad wear depends on
the style of driving, in particu-
lar for vehicles which are used
in town, over short distances.
It may be necessary to check the thickness
of the pads, even between services.
Where the handbrake travel is
too great or there is a reduc-
tion in the performance of the
system, the handbrake should
be adjusted, even between
services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
For any information relating to
checking the wear of the brake
discs and/or drums, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer. Change the fi lter regularly, in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
This does not require an oil
change. Check the level in ac-
cordance with the manufactur-
er's servicing schedule.

BATTERY
Operating procedure for recharging
your fl at battery or for starting the en-
gine from another battery.
To start the vehicle from another
battery:
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+)
terminals of the two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) termi-
nal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on
the broken down vehicle, as far as
possible from the battery (for exam-
ple, right-hand engine mounting),
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.

To charge the battery using a battery
charger:
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the nega- tive (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and connec- tors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (white or greenish deposit),
disconnect them and clean them.
It is advisable to disconnect the bat-
tery if the vehicle is not to be used for
a period of more than one month.
- Wait for 2 minutes after switch-
ing off the ignition before dis-
connecting the battery.
- Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
- Never charge a battery without fi rst disconnecting the terminals.
- Close the windows before dis- connecting the battery.
- After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition
and wait 1 minute before start-
ing to allow the electronic sys-
tems to be initialised. If slight
diffi culties are experienced
after this, please consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.

ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, with the
key in the accessories position, cer-
tain functions (windscreen wiper, cour-
tesy lights, audio equipment, dipped
headlamps, etc.) can only be used for
a maximum cumulative duration of ap-
proximately fi fteen minutes, to prevent
discharging of the battery.
Once the fi fteen minutes are over, the
message "Economy mode active" ap-
pears on the multifunction display and
the active functions are put on standby.
These functions will be reactivated au-
tomatically the next time the vehicle is
used.
To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it
run for a few minutes.
The time available will then be double
the time for which the engine is left run-
ning. However, this time will always be
between fi ve and fi fteen minutes.
A fl at battery will prevent the en-
gine from starting.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle towed.
Towing your vehicle


On the front bumper, unclip the cover A
to gain access to the towing eye.

 Switch on the hazard warning lights
on the towed vehicle.

 Place the gear lever in neutral. Towing another vehicle
Failure to comply with this special
requirement may result in damage
to certain braking components and
the absence of braking assistance
the next time the engine is started.

TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
In the case of vehicles equipped with an
HDI engine, it is recommended that the
engine is left running at idle for approxi-
mately 20 seconds after intensive use
(towing on a motorway, prolonged driv-
ing, ...) before the ignition is switched off.
This limits increases in the temperature
of the engine after it is switched off.

Note: in certain cases of particularly ar-
duous use (towing the maximum load
in high temperatures), the engine lim-
its its power automatically. In this case,
switching off the air conditioning will
regain engine power and therefore in-
crease the towing capacity.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Distribution of loads

 Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lights

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
 If the warning light and the

STOP warning light come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional signal-
ling and lighting.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.

 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
of your vehicle and that the fi t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear
of the vehicle, in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
