TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction.
Pressure CheckWith the ignition on and the
vehicle having been sta-
tionary for approximately
15 minutes, and after the
engine oil level, this indica-
tor light comes on on the instrument
panel screen to indicate that the sys-
tem is measuring the tyre pressures.
Pressure OK
This indicator light comes
on on the instrument panel
screen if all of the tyre pres-
sure values measured are
correct.
If this indicator light does not appear,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. Puncture
This warning light, accom-
panied by the audible sig-
nal and the message on the
multi-function display locat-
ing the wheel concerned, is
followed by illumination of the STOP
warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very delated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon
as possible.
Note: this message is also
displayed when one of the
wheels is away from the
vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are itted. All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel itted with
this system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inlation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the
driver to be vigilant or to drive re-
sponsibly.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (see manufactur-
er's label) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the vehicle
is maintained and prevent premature
wear of the tyres, particularly in ardu-
ous driving conditions (heavy load,
high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remem-
ber to check the pressure of the
spare wheel.
The tyre under-inlation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Flat tyre
This warning light is accom-
panied by the audible signal
and the message on the
multi-function display locat-
ing the wheel concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon
as possible. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning light is ac-
companied by the audible
signal and the message on
the multi-function display
which indicates that under-
inlation detection is absent from one
(or several) wheel(s) or that there is
a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to re-
place the faulty sensor(s).

Bonnet strut
Secure the strut in its housing to hold
the bonnet open.
Before closing the bonnet, replace
the strut in its clip.
To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at
the end of its travel. Check that the
bonnet is properly locked.
OPENING THE BONNET
From inside: pull the handle on
the left-hand side under the fascia
towards you.
From outside: lift the catch and
raise the bonnet.
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.
To avoid any risk of burns,
only handle the bonnet strut
by the protective foam.

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.Cooling systemCHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance op-
erations 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.
DipstickThere are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never ill past this mark.
B = minimum
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. Important:
if you have to
remove/reit the engine style
cover, handle it with care to
avoid damaging the ixing
clips. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried
out at the intervals speciied and
the viscosity of the oil chosen must
meet the requirements laid down in
the manufacturer's servicing sched-
ule. Consult the instructions in the
PEUGEOT Network or on the Infotec
site.
Note:
avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Empty the
used oil into the containers 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.
Use only the luid recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
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 pres-
sure to prevent any risk of
scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level with coolant.
The engine fan can ope-
rate after the vehicle has
stopped.

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. Where the handbrake
travel is too great or there
is a reduction in the per-
formance 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.
