Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet. 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 man-
ufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4 standards. Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT .
When the level is low, this is indicated
by an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction display.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
Cooling system
Use the fl uid 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 ope
rate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pres-
surised, wait for at least one hour after
the engine has stopped before carry-
ing out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
Lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, indicates that the die-
sel additive level is low.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.

Note
: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
The level must always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark. Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fl uid or coolant into
drains or into the ground.
Oil level
Check the level regularly
and top up between chang-
es. The maximum consump-
tion is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

CHECKS
Handbrake Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance
of the system, the hand-
brake should be adjusted,
even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that maintenance of
the particle emission fi lter is carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to the
wear of the surfaces of the discs and
drums, contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly, in
accordance with the servic-
ing schedule.
It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fl uid level
indicates that the brake pads are
worn.
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the servicing book-
let for information on the
replacement interval for
these components.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the
use of the vehicle (urban driving...),

change them twice as often, if ne
cessary (refer to the "Engines" para-
graph).
A clogged passenger compartment
fi lter may have an adverse effect on
the performance of the air condition-
ing system and produce unpleasant
odours.
Following prolonged opera-
tion of the vehicle at very
low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circum-
stances, notice steam coming from
the exhaust during acceleration. This
has no effect on the performance of
the vehicle or on the environment.
Battery
Manual gearboxThis does not require an
oil change. Have the level
checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and characteristics.
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects
and offers quite specifi c products.
To prevent damage to the electri-
cal units, high pressure washing of
the engine compartment is strictly
prohibited .
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.
