PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals, every 20,000 miles (30,000 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 that the PEUGEOT network invites you to an intermediate visit between each regular Service. The service indicator does not show when this service is due. It must be carried out every 10,000 miles (15,000 km) maximum.
A PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, screen-wash up to 2 litres). 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:

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE113
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the plastic trim on your vehicle, we recom-
mend that you wash them regularly.
Ð by hand: there are no specific pre-
cautions to take;
Ð using an automatic car wash: repeated use of poorly maintained automatic car washes can lead to
the appearance of microscopicscratches which give the paintworka matt appearance (especially visi-ble on dark colours);
Ð using a high pressure washer: always follow the recommendationson the equipment (pressure andspraying distance). If there are damaged areas on the vehicle (painted bumpers, or head-lamps), it is not recommended todirect the high pressure jet onto
them. Wash these areas by hand. Also avoid the entry of water into the locks.
For all questions relating to the main-tenance of your vehicle, contact anapproved dealer who can advise youon quality products selected by ourdepartments. Ð Clean off bird droppings,
resinous deposits, tarstains and grease marksas soon as possible;
(these all contain sub-
stances which can cause seriousdamage to the paintwork).
Ð Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth, or detergent or solvent products toclean the double lens, complexsurface headlamps as they are fit-ted with polycarbonate glass cov-ered in a protective finish.
Ð Do not use petrol, oil or cloth stain removers to clean the bodyworkand plastic parts of your vehicle.
Ð To prevent the development of bodywork corrosion as a result ofaccidental damage (stone chips,scratches etc.), have them
repaired swiftly.
