CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
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 or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Brake fluid level
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi 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.
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 check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel will only
be valid 30 minutes after topping up. 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 servicing booklet 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
low fl uid level is indicated by an
audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you stop the
vehicle.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
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.
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).
It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check
the oil level and top up if necessary ev-
ery 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres). In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

CHECKS
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 u-
ids into sewers or onto the
ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste
disposal site.
Diesel additive level (Diesel engine
with particle emission filter)
The additive reservoir low level is indi-
cated by fi xed illumination of this warn-
ing lamp, accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the multi-
function screen.

CHECKS
Battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "Practical information" section for de-
tails of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its
reconnection.
Air filter
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
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
(re-
fer to the "Engines" paragraph).
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval 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 servicing booklet and according to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
specifi c 12 V lead-acid battery with spe-
cial technology and specifi cation, for
which the involvement of a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is re-
quired when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation
may shorten the life of the battery.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Repair procedure
)
Switch off the ignition.
)
Turn the selector A
to the
"sealant" position.
)
Check that the switch B
is in
position "O"
.
1. Sealing
)
Uncoil the white pipe G
fully.
)
Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.
)
Connect the white pipe to the valve
of the tyre to be repaired.
)
Connect the compressor's electric
plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
)
Start the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Avoid removing any foreign
bodies which have penetrated
into the tyre.
Take care, this product is
harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol,
colophony...) if swallowed and
causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep it out of reach of children.
Do not start the compressor
before connecting the white
pipe to the tyre valve: the
sealant product would be expelled
through the pipe.
