PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
¥ For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30,000 km) or every two years.
¥ For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20,000 km) or every two years.
¥ For indirect injection diesel engines: every 10,000 miles (15,000 km) or every two years. The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil between oil changes is normal. It is for this reason, and for your complete peace of mind, that your PEUGEOT dealer is offering you an intermediate visit between regular services. This will be undertaken free of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out within
the Peugeot network at the time or distance intervals specified. At the same time, your PEUGEOT dealer will offeryou a PEUGEOT safety check, for a nominal fee.
A PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a quick check and top up the levels if necessary (oil up to one litre, coolant and screen wash).
The date of the intermediate visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10 000 miles (15,000 km) for petrol engines; every 6,000 miles (10,000 km) for direct injection diesel engines andevery 5,000 miles (7,500 km) for indirect injection diesel engines. If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine : check the engine oil level at least every 2,000 to 3,000 miles (3 000 to 5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use. This extended servicing has been made possible by modifications to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS THAT ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.

SPECIAL FEATURES Some of your vehicle's vital components have specific servicing schedules. The air bags and the pretensioning seat belts must be replaced every 10 years.The brake fluid must be replaced every 36,000/40,000 miles (60,000 km) or every 2 years.
The pollen filter must be checked at each visit to the PEUGEOT dealer (intermediate visits and regular services).

PEUGEOT SERVICING19
Arduous conditions of use If the vehicle is used in certain particularly arduous conditions:
¥ Continuous door-to-door use.
¥ Town use (e.g. taxi).¥ Repeated short journeys, with the engine cold in low temperatures.
or in long stays in the following conditions: ¥ Hot countries with temperatures often above 30 ¡C.¥ Cold countries with temperatures often below minus 15 ¡C.¥ Countries with a dusty atmosphere.¥ Countries whose lubricants or fuels do not conform to our recommendations.
It is necessary to follow an "Arduous conditions" servicing schedule, which includes special operations and shorter
service intervals:
¥ Every 12,000 miles (20,000 km) or every year for petrol engine vehicles.¥ Every 9,000 miles (15,000 km) or every year for Direct Injection Diesel engine vehicles.¥ Every 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or every year for Indirect Injection Diesel engine vehicles.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
32
Instrument panel display After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession:
- service indicator (see corresponding section),
- engine oil level indicator,
- total distance recorder (total and trip distances).Note:the total and trip distances are displayed for 30 seconds when the ignition
is switched off, on opening the driver's door, as well as on locking and unlocking the vehicle. Engine oil level When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is indicated for approxima- tely 10 seconds, after the servicing information.
Maximum Check the level using the dipstick to confirm whether the level indicated is correct; a surplusof oil can cause damage to the engine.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer without delay. Minimum. Check the level with the dipstick and top it up. The level indicated is only correct if the vehiclehas been on stable, level ground, with the engi-ne stopped, for 10 minutes. Oil level gauge fault The 6 segments flash to indicate a fault in the oil level gauge. There is a risk the engine will be damaged.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil temperature indicator With the engine running, this indi- cates the oil temperature:
Ð needle in zone
(C), the temperatu-
re is correct,
Ð needle in zone (D), the temperature
is too high. To lower the oil tempera- ture, reduce your speed.

A label indicates which type of fuel to use. If you fill your tank, do not continue
after the third cut-off of the pump
nozzle. This could result in vehiclemalfunctions. The capacity of the tank is
approximately 50 litres.OPENING THE BONNET Inside the vehicle: pull the handle
on the left-hand side, under the fas- cia. Outside the vehicle: lift the catch
and raise the bonnet.

CHECKING LEVELS Engine oil Oil level check Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes ; the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litreper 600 miles (1000 km). The check must be carried out with the vehicle level and the enginecold.
There are two levelmarks on the dipstick: A= maximum.
B = minimum. Viscosity grade selectionThe oil selected must always meet the manufacturer's requirements. Oil filter Change the cartridge regularly in accordance with the recommenda-tions of the servicing schedule. Used oil
Avoid any prolonged contact of used oil with the skin. Do not discard used oil down drains or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of the engines and emission control sys-tems, the use of additives in the oil isprohibited. Brake fluid reservoir
Ð The level must always be above
the DANGER mark on the tank.
Ð In the event of a significant drop in the level, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer immediately. Fluid change
Ð Always to be carried out at the
intervals given in the manufactu- rer's servicing schedule.
Ð Use fluids approved by the manu- facturer which comply with DOT4standards.
Coolant reservoir Use a coolant approved by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the coolant temperature is controlled by
the fan. This may operate with the
ignition key removed. Therefore, asthe cooling circuit is pressurised,wait at least an hour after switching
off the engine before carrying outany work. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, unscrew thecap two turns to let the pressuredrop. When the pressure has drop-ped, remove the cap and top up thelevel.
Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð Dipstick: never exceed the maxi- mum mark A.
Ð Instrument dial gauge.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION117
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
cold. The level should always beabove the MINI mark, close to theMAXI mark. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule.
Windscreen wash reservoir For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we recommend that youuse products approved by
PEUGEOT (capacity 2.8 litres).
Air filter Regular replacement of the filter ele- ment is essential. If you drive in verydusty conditions, change it twice asoften.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dea-
ler. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular forvehicles which are used in town, forshort journeys. It may be necessaryto check the thickness of the padseven between services. Autoadaptive automatic gearbox This does not need an oil change: have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule.
Only use products
approved by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor- mance from compo-
nents as important as the powersteering and the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offersquite specific products.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL) If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary to re-prime the circuit: 1.4 litre HDI engine
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
- operate the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears in the transparent pipe under the bon-net,
- operate the starter until the engi- ne starts.
