CHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance
operations which keep your vehicle
in good working order. Consult the
instructions in the PEUGEOT Net-
work, on the Infotec site or in the
servicing booklet enclosed with this
handbook.
Important: if you have to remove/
reit the engine style cover, handle
it with care to avoid damaging the
ixing clips.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never ill 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 level
F Check the level regularly and top
up between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
the engine having been off for more
than 15 minutes, using the dipstick. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out
at the intervals speciied and the vis-
cosity of the oil chosen must meet the
requirements laid down in the manu-
facturer's servicing schedule. Consult
the instructions in the PEUGEOT Net-
work or on the Infotec site.
Note:
avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT Network. 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 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.
Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.
Oil ilter
Replace the cartridge regularly in ac-
cordance with the recommendations
of the servicing schedule.
Brake luid change
Use the luid recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulils DOT4
Standards.
It is imperative that the brake luid is
changed at the intervals speciied in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
Note: avoid all contact with the skin,
the brake luid is harmful to health
and very corrosive.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
luid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground.
Power steering reservoir
Use the luid recommended by the
manufacturer.
F Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the
MIN. mark and close to the MAX.
mark.
Cooling system
Use the luid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, to see and be seen, we would
advise that you use products of the
Universal range recommended by
PEUGEOT, of particular beneit if
your 407 is itted with Xenon bulbs.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.

CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Have the ilter elements re-
placed regularly. If you drive
in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Particle emission ilter (Diesel)
It is imperative that the particle
emission ilter is maintained in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule, by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Note: following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional circum-
stances, notice emissions of water
vapour at the exhaust on accelera-
tion. This does not have any effect
on the performance of the vehicle or
the environment.
On vehicles which are itted with a
particle emission ilter, the fan assem-
bly may operate after the vehicle has
stopped, even when the engine is cold.
Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance
of the system, the handbrake
should be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake
To ensure the best perform-
ance from components as
important as the power steer-
ing and the braking system,
the manufacturer selects and offers
speciic products, only use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF
(PETROL)
As a safety precaution, in certain cir-
cumstances, a mechanism prevents
fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply:
F press the red button on the angle
of the front right-hand suspension
assembly, under the bonnet. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit.
The repriming pump and the degas
screw are located under the bonnet
(see corresponding illustration in the
technical data section):
1.6 litre 16V HDI engine
- ill the fuel tank with at least ive
litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears
in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
2 litre 16V HDI engine
- ill the fuel tank with at least ive litres of diesel,
- unscrew the degas screw,
- squeeze and release the manual repriming pump until diesel is seen
escaping via the degas screw,
- retighten the degas screw,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.
Brake pads
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.

safety in the event of impact. Punctured tyre warning
light
Information on the instrument
panel:
Reminder:
for your safety, always
change a wheel:
- on level, stable, non-slippery ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
- with irst or reverse gear engaged (position P for the automatic gear-
box),
- never go underneath a vehicle which is supported only by a jack. Tyre under-inlation
detection system warning
light
These original wheels are itted with
a pressure sensor (see paragraph
"Tyre under-inlation detection"). The
alarm which detects the removal or
absence of a wheel itted with the
indicator sensor signals the anom-
aly. Have the wheel repaired and
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
After changing the wheel:
- have the tightening of the bolts and
the tyre pressure of the spare wheel
checked as soon as possible.
- have the punctured wheel repaired and reit it to the vehicle as soon as

Bolt covers
Alloy wheel bolts are covered by
chrome trims.
Use the yellow tool 6 to remove the
trims before slackening the bolts. Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is itted with a steel
spare wheel, when itting it, it is
normal
when tightening the bolts to
notice that the washers do not come
into contact with the rim. The spare
wheel is secured by the cone shape
of each bolt.
PARTIAL REMOVABLE
CLOSER*
The partial removable closer is a
cover which is clipped onto the air
intake grille to prevent the accumula-
tion of snow due to direct splashes.
Once it has been itted on your vehi-
cle, it is imperative that it is removed
when the ambient temperature con-
ditions rise above 10 °C again.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Tyres of size 215/55 R17
cannot be itted with stand-
ard snow chains, contact a

Your wheels are itted with anti-
theft bolts (one per wheel), placed
under chrome trims which must be
removed using tool 6, before the
bolts are unscrewed using one of the
two anti-theft sockets and the wheel
brace 1.
Note: these anti-theft sockets were
given to you on delivery of your ve-
hicle with the duplicate keys and the
conidential card. Make a careful note
of the code number engraved on the
head of the anti-theft socket. This will
enable you to obtain a duplicate anti-
