PEUGEOT SERVICING
The maintenance cycle of your 307 is based on level A(including the replacement of the engine oil, the oil fi lter and a set
of checks) and level Cservices [ level Aservice + workshop operations carried out every 60 000 km] in accordance with the
tables on the following pages.
So that the driving conditions and your style of driving may be taken into account, your 307 is fitted with a service indicator
which modulates the intervals for level A service:
• every 20,000 miles (30 000 km) maximum or 2 years for petrol engines,
• every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) maximum or 2 years for direct injection diesel engines,
The frequency of level Aservices specific to your vehicle will be determined by three paramet ers:
• the number of engine revolutions,
• the engine oil temperature,
• periods when the vehicle is not in use.
Depending on these three elements, the service indicator will suggest a service interval which is more or less the same
as the initial programme. Depending on the conditions of u se, one or more level Aservices may be carried out between
two level C services.
Depending on the distance recorded, your dealer may offer to ca rry out the level Cservice to avoid the visits being too close
together.

The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil
between two oil changes is normal.
It is for this reason, and for your complete peace of min d, that your Peugeot dealer will carry out a levels check and
topup midway between routine services, at the time or dis tance intervals specified.
This will be undertaken free of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out within
the PEUGEOT network.
At the same time, your Peugeot dealer will offer you a Peug eot safety check, for a nominal fee.
A Peugeot professional will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil up to 1 litre, coolant
and screen wash).
The date of this visit is not shown by the service indica tor.
It is to be carried out between two services .
If the oil level is too low, there is a risk of significa nt damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at le ast every
3,000 miles (5 000 km).
The extended service intervals have been made possible by develop ments to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU USE ONLY ENGINE LUBRICANTS THAT ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY
THE MANUFACTURER (see pages on 'Lubricants').

Instrument panel display
After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession:
service indicator (see corresponding section),
engine oil level indicator,
total distance recorder (total and trip distances).
Note : the total and trip distances are displayed for 30 seconds wh en the ignition
is switched off, on opening the driver's door, as well as on locking and unlocking
the vehicle.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is indicated for approxi
mately 10 seconds, after the servicing information.
Maximum
Check the level using the dipstick to confirm whether the displ ay
is correct; a surplus of oil can cause damage to the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without delay.
Minimum
Check the level with the dipstick and top it up. The figu re shown
is only correct if the vehicle has been on stable, level ground , with
the engine stopped, for 10 minutes.
Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of the segments, the square or of "min" and "max" indi
cates a fault in the oil level gauge.
There is a risk the engine will be damaged.

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.
Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument
panel or the dipstick.
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
"PEUGEOT SERVICING".
WARNING: avoid used oil from com
ing into prolonged contact with the
skin.Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require
ments.
Brake fluid level:
The level must always be between the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
If the level drops substantially, con tact a PEUGEOT dealer immedi
ately.
Fluid change:
must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
use fluids approved by the manu facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan
dards.
WARNING: brake fluid is harmful to
health and very corrosive. Avoid all
contact with the skin.
Cooling system
Use the fluid approved by the manu
facturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem
perature 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 to the first notch to
release 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.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fluid or coolant into drains or into the
ground
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.
Windscreen wash reservoir
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use
products approved by PEUGEOT
(reservoir capacity 3.5 litres).

Only use products
approved by Automobiles
PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor
mance from components
as important as the power steering
and the braking system,
PEUGEOT selects and offers quite
specific products.
CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Air filter and pollen filter
Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty con
ditions, change them twice as
often.
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.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake 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. Manual gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Check the level, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Automatic gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accor
dance with the servicing schedule.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to reprime the circuit:
1.4 litre HDI engine
fill the fuel tank with at least five
litres of diesel,
operate the manual repriming pump, under the bonnet, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe
under the bonnet,
operate the starter until the engine starts.
2 litre HDI engine
fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
operate the manual repriming pump, under the bonnet, until
you feel resistance during the
manoeuvre,
operate the starter until the engine starts.

BATTERY
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 negative (–) terminal,
Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sul
phate (white or greenish deposit), disconnect them and clean t hem.
To start the vehicle from another battery:
Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the tw o batteries,
Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negat ive (–) terminal of the
slave battery,
Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an e arth point on the bro
ken down vehicle, as far as possible from the battery,

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
156
Never disconnect a ter
minal when the engine
is running.
Never charge a battery without
first disconnecting the terminals.
Close the sunroof before dis
connecting the battery. If it does
not operate normally following
reconnection of the battery, you
must reinitialise the sunroof
and its safety autoreverse sys
tem (see section "Doors and
windows § Sunroof").

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow
bars that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle. The tow bar must be fit
ted by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for
transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more significant
stress and its driver must be particu
larly careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10%
and so on for every 1000 metres of
altitude.Driving advice
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.
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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed, and 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.Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the tow
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ
ing the recommended pressures.
Braking
Towing increases the braking distance.
Lights
Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer.
Side wind
Take into acount the increased sen
sitivity to side wind.
