Levels
LEVELS
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried
out at the intervals specifi ed and the
viscosity grade of the oil selected must
fulfi l the requirements in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule. Consult the instructions at a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Remove the dipstick before fi lling.
Check the level after fi lling (never
exceed the max mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump
before closing the bonnet. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fl uid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a failure which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible.
Warning lights
If you have to remove/refi t the
engine style cover, handle it with
care to avoid damaging the fi xing
clips.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
If you fi ll past this mark,
consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.

B = minimum
Never allow the level to
fall below this mark.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited. Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
These regular maintenance
operations will keep your vehicle
in good running order. Consult the
instructions at a PEUGEOT dealer or
in the servicing booklet enclosed in the
handbook pack.
Checking by means of the
warning lights on the instrument
panel is described in chapter 2,
refer to the "Instruments and
controls" section.

130
Levels
Cooling system
Only use the fl uid 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.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a failure which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible. Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning light is switched off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission fi lter, relay noise may be
heard under the fascia.
If the message is still displayed and if
the service warning light remains on,
consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is
required to top up the level, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the PEUGEOT range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 4.5 litres.
If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 7.5 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
The minimum level of this
additive is indicated by lighting of the
service warning light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the display.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...). Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is
topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer
without delay.
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKS
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
An access fl ap below the glove box
permits replacement of the fi lters.
The carbon fi lter permits continuous
and effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter
becomes clogged, this may reduce
the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment fi lter. By
means of its second special active
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits). Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that particle emission
fi lter maintenance is carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
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.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to
checking the brake disc/drum wear
status, consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
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 fi lter regularly in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
Refer to the servicing booklet to fi nd
out the replacement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.

of units as important as the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
If this warning light comes
on, bleed the fi lter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine is drained.
To evacuate the water,
unscrew the bleed screw located on
the fi lter.
Operate until all of the water in the
transparent pipe has been drained out
then tighten the bleed screw.
HDi engines use advanced technology.
All work requires a special qualifi cation
which is guaranteed by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

Fuel
FILLING WITH FUEL
Low fuel level Filling
The fuel tank must be fi lled
with the
engine off .
- Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.
- Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap.
When fi lling with fuel, a
mechanical system prevents
opening of the left-hand side door.
When the fuel fi ller fl ap is open, ensure
that no one tries to slide this door.
Once the fl ap has been closed, the
sliding side door may jam, push the
door to close it then open it.
When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
light comes on.
You then have

approximately 8 litres of
fuel remaining. Fill up without delay to
avoid running out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out
of fuel as this may damage the
antipollution and injection systems. A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fi ll with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel fi ller cap is opened,
there may be a slight air suction noise.
This vacuum is entirely normal and is
due to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When fi lling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3 rd cut-off of the
nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.
- After fi lling the fuel tank, lock the
cap and close the fl ap. Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly
compatible with E10 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this
type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The
quality of the ethanol must comply with
European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are
marketed to run on fuels containing up
to 100 % ethanol (E100 type).
