These regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Consult the instructions at PEUGEOT
dealerships, on the Infotec site or in the
servicing booklet enclosed in the wallet
containing the handbook pack.To maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements
in accordance with the manufacturer’s
servicing schedule. Consult the instructions at
PEUGEOT dealerships or on the Infotec site.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the
manufacturer ’s requirements.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer ’s servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging your
engine. When the engine is warm, the temperature
of the coolant is controlled by the engine
fan. As this fan can operate 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 by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash* level
For best quality cleaning and for your safety,
we would advise that you use products of
the PEUGEOT Universal range.
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the
skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground but
into the containers dedicated to this use at
PEUGEOT dealerships.
* According to country.
CHECKING THE LEVELS
If you have to remove/refit the engine
style cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to
fall below this mark.

Checking the levels
CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the filter elements replaced regularly.
If you drive in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Brake pads
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.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the handbrake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule. Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change. Have
the level checked in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s servicing schedule.
Fuel circuit disarmed
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from reaching
the engine.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s servicing schedule, refer
to the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle’s engine.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and characteristics.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking circuit, PEUGEOT
selects and offers very specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing of the engine
compartment is strictly prohibited.
