Stop immediately.
Warning: wait for the engine to cool
before topping up the level. The cool-
ing system is pressurised.
In order to avoid any risk of scalding,
unscrew the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop. When the pres-
sure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up the level.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
N e v e r i l l p a s t t h i s m a r k .
B = minimum
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.

Cooling system
U s e t h e l u i d r e c o m m e n d e d b y t h e
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. This fan can oper-
ate with the ignition off.

In addition, as 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.

Diesel additive level (Diesel
w i t h p a r t i c l e e m i s s i o n f i l t e r )
If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, this indicates a low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
Brake fluid level
* According to engine.
Oil level
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.
P o w e r s t e e r i n g r e s e r v o i r
Remove the style trim * (see §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the ve-
hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick. Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.

10PRACTICAL INFORMATION
136
D r i v i n g a d v i c e
D i s t r i b u t i o n o f l o a d s :
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.
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.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible. T y r e s :
check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Braking:
towing increases the
braking distance.
Lights: check the electrical
signalling on the trailer.
S i d e w i n d : take into account the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
T O W I N G A T R A I L E R , A
C A R A V A N , A B O A T , E T C . . .
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
y o u r v e h i c l e a n d t h a t t h e i t t i n g o f t h e
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
I f t h e t o w b a r i s n o t i t t e d b y a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
t h a t i t i s i t t e d u s i n g t h e e l e c t r i c a l
pre-equipment located at the rear of
the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
t o w i n g v e h i c l e t o m o r e s i g n i i c a n t
stress and its driver must be
particularly careful.
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.
The rear parking assistance function
will be disarmed automatically when
a t o w b a r i s i t t e d .
