Deactivation / Activation of the rear
parking sensors Operating fault
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcy-
cle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may
trigger the audible signals of the
parking sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear is
engaged this warning lamp is dis-
played in the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in the screen, accom-
panied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
The status of the function is stored
when the ignition is switched off.
The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-
rier recommended by PEUGEOT). The function is deactivated
or activated via the vehicle
confi guration menu.

BONNET
Protects the components of the engine
and provides access for checking levels.
 Push the exterior safety catch B to
the left and raise the bonnet.  Unclip the stay
C from its housing.
 Fix the stay in one of the two notch- es to hold the bonnet open.
Closing
 Take the stay out of the support notch.
 Clip the stay in its housing.
 Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of its travel.
 Pull on the bonnet to check that it is secured correctly.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
Opening
 Open the front left door.
 Pull the interior release lever A ,
located at the bottom of the door
frame.
The location of the interior release
lever prevents opening of the bon-
net while the left hand front door is
closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and bonnet
stay with care (risk of burns).
1.6 litre HDi engine
 Fill the fuel tank with at least fi ve li-tres of diesel.
 Open the bonnet.
 If necessary, unclip the styling cover for access to the priming pump.
 Squeeze and release the priming pump repeatedly until resistance is
felt (there may be resistance at the
fi rst press).

Operate the starter until the engine
starts (if the engine does not start at the
fi rst attempt, wait around 15 seconds
before trying again).
 If the engine does not start after a few attempts, operate the priming
pump again then start the engine.
 Clip the styling cover back in place.
 Close the bonnet. On vehicles fi tted with HDi engines, the
fuel system must be primed if you run
out of fuel; refer to the corresponding
engine compartment view.
If the tank on your vehicle is fi tted with
a misfuel prevention device, refer to the
"Misfuel prevention (Diesel)" section.
Because of the presence of elec-
trical equipment under the bonnet,
it is recommended that exposure
to water (rain, washing, ...) be re-
stricted. If the engine does not start fi rst time,
don't keep trying but start the procedure
again from the beginning.

CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Take care when working under the bon-
net, as some parts of the engine can be
extremely hot (risk of burns).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
in the instrument panel for ve-
hicles with and electric oil level gauge,
or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
surface and the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level be-
tween two services (or oil changes).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel
engine" section for the location of the
dipstick in the engine compartment of
your vehicle.
 Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely. A = MAX
B = MIN
If you fi nd that the level is above the A
mark or below the B mark, do not start
the engine .
- If the level is above the MAX mark
(risk of damage to the engine), con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
- If the level is below the MIN mark,
you must top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing
the oil, check that the oil is the correct
grade for your engine and conforms to
the manufacturer's recommendations. Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel
engine" section for the location of the oil
fi ller cap in the engine compartment of
your vehicle.
 Unscrew the oil fi ller cap to reveal
the fi ller aperture.
 Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components
(risk of fi re).
 Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.
 Add more oil if necessary.
 After checking the level, carefully re- fi t the oil fi ller cap and the dipstick in
its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance
record for details of the interval for this
operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
 Wipe the end of the dipstick using a
clean non-fl uffy cloth.
 Refi t the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make
the visual check: the correct level is
between the marks A and B .

Coolant level Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the
fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up the
level.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash * fluid
The minimum level of this fl uid
is indicated by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multi-
function screen.
Top up the level when you stop the ve-
hicle.
* According to country.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
To ensure optimum cleaning and avoid
freezing, plain water should not be used
to top up or replace this fl uid.
Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance
record for details of the interval for this
operation.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
Diesel additive level (Diesel with
particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive is
indicated by illumination of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message in the multi-
function screen.

CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components as specifi ed in the warranty
and maintenance record for your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Battery
The battery does not require
any maintenance.
However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in sum-
mer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Battery" section for details
of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following
its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for details
of the replacement intervals
for these components.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Illumination of the service warning lamp togeth-
er with a related message indicates the start of
saturation of the particle emissions fi lter.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the warranty and main-
tenance record for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
As soon as the driving conditions
permit, regenerate the fi lter by driv-
ing at a speed of at least 35 mph
(60 km/h) until the service warning
lamp goes off.
Maintenance of the particle emis-
sion fi lter must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on
the environment.

Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specifi cations.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and of-
fers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited .
After washing the vehicle, or in hu-
mid or wintry conditions, ice can
form on the brake discs and pads
with a resulting loss of effi ciency of
the brakes. Make a few light brake
applications to defrost and dry the
brakes.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for de-
tails of the checking intervals
for this component.
Brake disc and drum wear
For any information relating
to checking of the brake disc
and/or drum wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for details
of the level checking intervals
for this component.
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 on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Parking brake
If the parking brake travel is
too long or if you notice a loss
of effectiveness of this sys-
tem, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
