MONITORING
Service temporarily,
accompanied
by a message. Minor faults have occurred
for which there is no
specifi c warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message
displayed in the screen, such as, for example:
- doors, boot or bonnet open,
- low engine oil level,
- low screenwash/headlamp wash reservoir
level,
- remote control battery fl at,
- a fault with tyre under-infl ation detection,
- saturation of the particle emission fi lter (Diesel) (see the "Checks" - "Checking
levels / Particle emissions fi lter" section).
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

MONITORING
The level shown will only be cor-
rect if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
Engine oil level indicator * Oil level correct
Oil level low Oil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric
indicator, the engine oil level is no lon-
ger monitored.
This is signalled by the fl ashing of
"OIL" , or the display of a message "Oil
level incorrect" in the instrument panel,
accompanied by illumination of the ser-
vice warning lamp and an audible sig-
nal.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine.
Refer to the "Checks of levels" section. This is signalled by the fl ashing of
"OIL--"
or the display of a message "Oil level mea-
surement invalid" in the instrument panel
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
When the system has a fault, you
should check the engine oil level using
the manual dipstick (located under the
bonnet).
Refer to the "Checks of levels" section.
On versions fi tted with an electric oil
level indicator, the state of the engine
oil level is displayed in the instrument
panel for a few seconds when the ig-
nition is switched on, after the service
information.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
in the instrument panel for ve-
hicles with and electric oil level gauge,
or using the dipstick. It is normal to top up the oil level
between two services (or oil chang-
es). PEUGEOT recommends that
you check the level, and top up
if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kms).
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the en-
gine may be extremely hot (risk of
burns) and the cooling fan could
start at any time (even with the ig-
nition off). A = MAX
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
surface and the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes. Check all of these levels regularly, in
line with the warranty and maintenance
record. Top them up if necessary, un-
less otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop. Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel
engine" section for the location of the
dipstick in the engine compartment of
your vehicle.
 Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.
 Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fl uffy cloth.
 Refi t the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make
the visual check: the correct level is
between the marks A and B . B = MIN
If you fi nd that the level is above the A
mark or below the B mark, do not start
the engine .
- If the level is above the MAX mark
(risk of damage to the engine), con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
- If the level is below the MIN mark,
you must top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing
the oil, check that the oil is the correct
grade for your engine and conforms to
the manufacturer's recommendations.

CHECKS

Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold,
unscrew the cap to check the
level.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance
record for details of the interval for this
operation.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the
fan.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
become caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
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.
Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel
engine" section for the location of the oil
fi ller cap in the engine compartment of
your vehicle.
 Unscrew the oil fi ller cap to reveal
the fi ller aperture.
 Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components
(risk of fi re).
 Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.
 Add more oil if necessary.
 After checking the level, carefully re- fi t the oil fi ller cap and the dipstick in
its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check
when switching on the ignition with
the oil level indicator in the instru-
ment panel is not valid during the
30 minutes after topping up.
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.

CHECKS
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 next stop
the vehicle.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up with or replaced with plain water. 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 deal-
er or a qualifi ed workshop (France)
or to an authorised waste disposal
site.
Used products
Diesel fuel additive level (Diesel
with particle emissions filter)
Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up with-
out delay by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. The additive reservoir low level
is indicated by fi xed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a
message that the particle emis-
sions fi lter additive level is too
low.
In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl
alcohol or methanol base fl uid is recom-
mended.
