CHECKING LEVELS

Brake fluid level

On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may oper-
ate 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.
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 us-
ing the dipstick. The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fl uid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.


Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level.

Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid

In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
minimum level of this fl uid is
indicated by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function screen.
Top up the level when you stop the ve-
hicle.
Engine oil change
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record 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 specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.


Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.

Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up with or replaced with plain water.



Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the
fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

When working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain areas
of the engine may be extreme-
ly hot (risk of burns).





Before doing anything under
the bonnet, switch off the igni-
tion ( Ready
lamp off) to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from auto-
matic operation of the motor.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKS
161
Avoid prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.

Most of these fl uids are
harmful to health or indeed
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or
fl uids into sewers or onto the
ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer
(France) or an authorised waste dis-
posal site.










Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle emission
filter)
A low additive level is indicated by illumi-
nation of the service warning lamp, ac-
companied by an audible warning and a
message in the multifunction screen.








Used products
CHECKS

12 V 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

Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for de-
tails of the replacement inter-
vals for these components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of
the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary

(refer to the "Engines" paragraph).


Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for de-
tails of the replacement inter-
val for this component.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.

Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the Warranty and Maintenance Record.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.





Before doing anything under
the bonnet, switch off the igni-
tion ( Ready
lamp off) to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from auto-
matic operation of the motor.

CHECKS
162








Particle emission filter (Diesel)

It is imperative that the maintenance of
the particle emission fi lter is carried out
by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Following prolonged opera-
tion of the vehicle at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in
exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehi-
cle or the environment.


Dust filter/Anti-odour filter
(activated carbon)
Your vehicle is fi tted with a fi lter which
traps certain dust and limits odours in
the ventilation and air conditioning.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for its replacement interval.
Do not hesitate to change it if you no-
tice unpleasant odours, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may reduce the performance of the air
conditioning system and produce un-
pleasant odours.


Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cations.
In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as the brak-
ing system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited
.


Brake disc wear














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 in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.


6-speed electronic gear control
gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).

Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for de-
tails of the checking interval
for this component.






















Electric parking brake

This system does not require any rou-
tine servicing. However, in the event of
a problem, have the system checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
For more information, see
"Driving - Electric parking
brake - § Operating faults".






The hybrid system is inactive during
regeneration of the particle emis-
sions fi lter.

plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

)
Start the vehicle and leave the
engine running.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
166

If after around 5 to 7 minutes
the pressure is not attained,
this indicates that the tyre is
not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for assistance.
)
Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing the switch B
to position "I"
until
the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of splashing).
)
Remove the kit and screw the cap
back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your
vehicle with traces of fl uid. Keep the
kit to hand.

)
Drive immediately for approximate-
ly three miles (fi ve kilometres), at
reduced speed (between 15 and
35 mph [20 and 60 km/h]), to plug
the puncture.

)
Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

)
Connect the compressor's electric
plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

)
Start the vehicle again and leave the
engine running.

; to defl ate: switch B
in
position "O"
and press button C
), in
accordance with the vehicle's tyre
pressure label (located on the left
hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for as-
sistance.
