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.
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.
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
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 irst 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
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.
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 ilter and passenger
compartment ilter
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.

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
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):
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
functions (audio equipment, wind-
screen wiper, electric windows, sun-
roof, electric seats, telephone etc)
are only supplied with power for ap-
proximately thirty minutes, to prevent
complete discharging of the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-func-
tion display and the active functions
are put on standby.
These functions are automatically reac-
tivated when the vehicle is started.
If the telephone is being used when
economy mode starts, it will still be
possible to inish the call.
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.
A lat battery prevents the
engine from starting.
As winter approaches, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
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.

- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger manu-
facturer,
- Reconnect starting with the nega- tive (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and con- nectors are clean. If they are cov-
ered with sulphate (white or greenish
deposit), disconnect them and clean
them.
To start the vehicle from
another battery:
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) ter-
minal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on
the broken down vehicle as far as
possible from the battery.
Operate the starter, let the engine run.
Wait for the engine to return to idle,
then disconnect the cables.
It is advisable to disconnect the bat-
tery if the vehicle is not to be used for
a period of more than one month.
BATTERY
To charge the battery
using a battery
charger:- Before disconnecting the battery, you must wait for
2 minutes after switching
off the igntion.
- Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
- Never charge a battery without irst disconnecting the terminals.
- Close the windows and sunroof before disconnecting the battery.
If they do not operate normally fol-
lowing reconnection of the battery,
they must be reinitialised (see sec-
tions "Reinitialisation of the electric
windows" and "Sunroof").
- After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition and
wait 1 minute before starting to
allow the electronic systems to
be initialised. If slight dificulties
are experienced after this, please
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum
load in high temperatures on a steep
slope), the engine automatically
limits its power and selects the ap-
propriate automatic gearbox gear in
manual mode. In this case, cutting off
the air conditioning allows the engine
power to be recovered, and therefore
the towing capacity to be increased.
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon as pos-
sible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle (label on the cen-
tral door pillar on the driver's side)
and of the trailer towed, observing
the recommended pressure.
Brakes: towing increases the brak-
ing distance. Drive at a moderate
speed, change down early and brake
gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
Lighting
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOT tow-
bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The towbar must be itted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi-
est loads are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.

When towing with the engine
switched off, there is no brak-
ing or steering assistance.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE

(4 wheels on the ground)
You must always use a tow bar.
The removable towing eye is inside
the spare wheel.

Unclip the cover,
F Screw in the towing eye as far as
it will go.
Special features of the
automatic gearbox
When towing with four wheels on the
ground, the following rules must be
obeyed:
- lever in position N,
- tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a maximum dis-
tance of 30 miles (50 km),
- do not add oil to the gearbox.
Lifting
(2 wheels only on the ground)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle
with a professional lifting device.
