Practical information07
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
► Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull
it out completely.
►  Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-
free cloth.


►  Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,
then pull it out again to visually check the oil level:
the correct level is between marks A (max) and
B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–

abo
ve mark A: contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
–

belo
w mark B: top up the engine oil
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine
oil, check that the oil is suitable for your engine
and complies with the recommendations in
the service schedule supplied with the vehicle
(or available from your dealer or qualified
workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please
refer to the corresponding engine compartment
illustration.
►  Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills
on engine components (risk of fire).
►  Wait a few minutes before checking the level
again using the dipstick.
►  Top up the level if necessary.
►  After checking the level, carefully screw the
oil filler cap back on and replace the dipstick in
its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the
instrument panel when the ignition is
switched on is not valid for 30 minutes
following an addition of oil.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the
"MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pads
for wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Engine coolant
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with the
engine cold.
A level of coolant that is too low risks causing
major damage to the engine; the coolant level
must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever
going above it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark, it
is essential to top it up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least
one hour after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need to
top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around the
cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.
Screenwash fluid
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed
product.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid
containing an anti-freeze agent which is

163
Practical information07
appropriate for the temperature conditions
must be used in order to protect the system's
components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).
Filling with pure water is prohibited in all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limescale,
etc.).
Diesel fuel additive (Diesel with
particle filter)
On reaching the minimum level in the
particle filter additive tank, this warning
lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an audible
signal and a warning message.
Topping up
The topping up of this additive must be carried
out quickly.
Visit a dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)
An alert is triggered when the reserve level is
reached.
For more information on the Indicators and in
particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in
accordance with regulations, you must top up the
AdBlue tank.
For more information on AdBlue
® (BlueHDi), and
in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to the
corresponding section.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
Manufacturer's service schedule and according to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by the
Manufacturer or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, the Manufacturer selects and
offers very specific products.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
Check regularly that the terminals are correctly
tightened (versions without quick-release
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before any work on the 12 V
battery, refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specifications.
Its replacement should be carried out only by a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment and the use
of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city
driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.
A clogged passenger compartment filter
can adversely affect air conditioning
system performance and generate undesirable
odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the use
of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city
driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of clogging of the particle filter is
indicated by the temporary lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert message.
As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37 mph
(60 km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500
rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the warning lamp
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37 mph (60 km/h),
leave the engine running at idle for about 15
minutes, then drive with an engine speed above
2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.

164
Practical information07
Do not switch off the engine until the filter
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is
stationary is not recommended.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no impact
on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine
servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
checked by a dealer or a qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the corresponding
section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of driving,
particularly in the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are
worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in
wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc
wear, contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,
including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10
kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add 0.3 bar
(30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely and
have an adverse effect on the vehicle's road
holding - risk of accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the tyres
(tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as the
presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be identified
by this symbol on their sidewalls.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,

168
Practical information07
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
Do not use abrasive products, solvents,
petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean
stubborn stains - risk of scratching the
paintwork!
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to
plastic or rubber parts.
Use a soft cloth and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean
microfibre cloth.
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.
Comply with the instructions for use stated on
the product.
Decals
(Depending on version)
Do not use a high-pressure washer to
clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or
detaching the decals!
Use a high-flow hose (temperature
between 25°C and 40°C).
Place the jet of water perpendicular to the
surface to be cleaned.
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Textile
The dashboard, door panels and seats may
contain parts made of textile material.
Maintenance
Do not use aggressive cleaning products
(e.g. alcohol, solvent or ammonia).
Do not use steam-cleaning systems - risk of
affecting the adhesion of the fabrics!
Remove dust from the textile parts
regularly with a dry cloth, soft brush or
vacuum cleaner.
Rub down the textile parts once per year with
a clean, damp cloth. After leaving overnight to
dry, brush with a soft-bristled brush.
Stain removal
Do not rub the stain or it may spread or
you may cause the substance to
penetrate the surface.
Act quickly by reducing the stain from its
edges inwards.
Remove as much substance or solids as
possible using a spoon or spatula, and
remove as much liquid as possible using
absorbent paper.
Product/Procedure to use depending on
the type of stain:
–

G

rease, oil and ink: clean with a pH-neutral
detergent.
–

V

omit: clean with sparkling mineral water.
–

Blood: spread flour o
ver the stain and allow
to dry; remove with a slightly damp cloth.
–

Mud: allo
w to dry and then remove with a
slightly damp cloth.
–

Cak
e, chocolate, ice cream: clean with

offee, tomato sauce, vinegar:
clean with lukewarm water and lemon juice.
For solid substances, then use a soft brush or
vacuum cleaner.
For liquid substances, then use a damp
microfibre cloth and then dry with another
cloth.
Alcantara®
Alcantara® is an elegant and practical material
which is very resistant and easy to maintain.
Do not use printed cloths or
printed absorbent paper.
Do not use steam-cleaning systems.

after a puncture.
Tyre inflation pressures are indicated on
this label.
For more information on Identification
markings, particularly this label, refer to the
corresponding section.
For more information on the Tool kit, refer
to the corresponding section.
Repair procedure
Do not remove any foreign body (e.g. nail,
screw) which has penetrated the tyre.
►  Park the vehicle without obstructing traffic
and apply the parking brake.
►  Follow the safety instructions (hazard warning
lamps, warning triangle, high visibility jacket,
etc.) according to the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
►  Switch the ignition off.


► Remove the transparent cap from the bottle
of sealant.
►  Lift the protective cover before installing the
bottle of sealant on the compressor.
►  Turn the bottle of sealant over and screw it a
quarter turn into the compressor.
►  Remove the valve cap from the tyre to be
repaired, and place it in a clean place.


►  Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►  Connect the pipe from the compressor to the
valve of the tyre to be repaired and tighten firmly.
►  Check that the compressor switch is in
position "O".
►  Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor.
►  Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12 V socket.
►  Affix the speed limit sticker.
The speed limit sticker must be affixed
inside the vehicle in the area close to the
driver, to remind them that a wheel is in
temporary use.
►  Switch the ignition on.


► Switch on the compressor by moving the
switch to position "I" until the tyre pressure
reaches 2 bar. The sealant product is injected
under pressure into the tyre; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk
of blowback).
If after approximately 7 minutes, the
pressure of 2 bar is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.

174In the event of a breakdown08
► Move the switch to position "O".
►  Disconnect the compressor's electric plug
from the vehicle's 12 V socket.
►  Remove the kit.
►  Refit the cap on the valve.
►  Remove and store the bottle of sealant.
The sealant product is harmful if
swallowed and causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of children.
The use-by date of the fluid is marked on the
bottle.
After use, do not discard the bottle into
the environment; take it to a dealer or an
authorised waste disposal site.
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a dealer or a qualified
workshop.


►  Drive immediately for approximately 3 miles
(5 kilometres) at reduced speed (between 12 and
37 mph (20 and 60 km/h)) to plug the puncture.
►  Stop to check the repair and the tyre pressure
using the kit:
• If the tyre pre ssure is incorrect, contact a
dealer to have the tyre changed.
•

If the tyre pre
ssure is correct, drive a second
time for approximately 3 miles (5 kilometres)
at reduced speed (between 12 and 37 mph (20
and 60 km/h)), stop then check again the tyre
pressure using the kit to confirm the effective
repair of the tyre.
With a tyre repaired using this type of kit,
do not exceed a speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) and do not drive more than
125 miles (200 km).
You must contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the repair checked and the
tyre changed.
Checking/adjusting tyre
pressures
The compressor can be used, without injecting
sealant, to check and, if necessary, adjust the
tyre pressures.
►  Remove the valve cap from the tyre and keep it
in a clean place.
►  Uncoil the pipe stowed under the compressor.
►  Screw the pipe onto the valve and tighten
firmly.
►  Check that the compressor switch is in
position "O".
►  Fully uncoil the electric cable stowed under
the compressor.
►  Connect the compressor's electric plug to the
vehicle's 12 V socket.
►  Switch the ignition on.
►  Start the compressor by placing the switch
at position "I" and adjust the pressure to the
value shown on the vehicle's tyre pressure label.
To deflate: press the black button located on the
compressor pipe, near the valve connection.
If after 7 minutes the pressure of 2 bar is
not reached, the tyre is damaged; contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop for
assistance.
►  Once the correct pressure is reached, put the
switch in position "O".
►  Remove the kit and stow it.
►  Refit the cap on the valve.
Should the pressure of one or more tyres
be adjusted, it is necessary to reinitialise
the under-inflation detection system.
For more information on Tyre under-inflation
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
