CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signii cantly, have the
corresponding circuit checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Brake fluid level
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the consump-
tion should not exceed 0.5 litre per
600 miles (1,000 km). The brake l uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.

On vehicles which are i tted with a
particle emission i lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work. Wash-wipe and headlamp wash *
fluid
The minimum level of this l uid
is indicated by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction display.
Top up the level when you stop the ve-
hicle.
* According to country.
Draining the engine
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil specii cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations. Fluid specii cation
The brake l uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fuli l the DOT4 standards.
Draining the circuit
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Fluid specii cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specii cation
To guarantee optimum cleaning and
avoid freezing, water should not be
used to top up or replace this l uid.

Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or l uids with the skin.
Most of these l uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or l uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network.
Diesel additive level (Diesel with
particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive is in-
dicated by lighting of the service warn-
ing light, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multifunc-
tion display.
Used products
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and in relation to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Battery The battery does not require
any maintenance.
However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in sum-
mer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary (re-
fer to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment i lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours. Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that the maintenance of
the particle emission i lter is carried out
by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil filter
Replace the oil i lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on
the environment.
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is
topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer with-
out delay.

Only use products recommended
by PEUGEOT or products of equi
valent quality and specii cations.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and of-
fers very specii c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited .
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
tervals for this component. Brake disc drum wear status
For any information relating
to checking of the brake disc
and/or drum wear status, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the level checking
intervals for this component.
Brake pads Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake l uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn. Handbrake
If the handbrake travel is too
long or if you notice a loss
of effectiveness of this sys-
tem, the handbrake must be
adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Fixing the steel or "space-
saving" type spare wheel
If your vehicle is i tted with al-
loy wheels, it is normal to notice,
when tightening the bolts on i tting,
that the washers do not come into
contact with the steel or "space-
saving" type spare wheel. The
wheel is secured by the conical
contact of each bolt.
Access to the spare wheel
(Saloon)
The spare wheel is installed in the boot
under the l oor.
According to model, the spare wheel may
be steel or of the "space saving" type.
To gain access to it, refer to the para-
graph "Access to the tools" on the pre-
vious page. Taking out the wheel

 Unscrew the yellow central bolt.

 Raise the spare wheel towards you
from the rear.

 Take the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the wheel back in place

 Put the wheel back in its housing.

 Unscrew the yellow central bolt by a
few turns then put it in place in the
centre of the wheel.

 Tighten fully until the central bolt
clicks to retain the wheel correctly.

 Put the box back in place in the cen-
tre of the wheel.

 Put the boot l oor back in place.
Tyre under-inl ation detection
The spare wheel is not i tted with
