Servicing
The vehicle's odometer is displayed in area A
of the display screen and the trip recorder in
area B. -
i t remains displayed if the service is
overdue,
The service indicator does not appear if it is
more than 2 000 miles (3 000 km) before the
next service is due.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions only
(depending on the country of sale), the
degree of deterioration of the engine oil
is also taken into account.
This is a countdown between the intervals
given in the manufacturer's service schedule.
It is calculated from the last reset of
the service indicator, according to the
mileage covered and the time elapsed
since the last service. The service indicator appears when
approaching a servicing point:
-
i
t indicates the distance before the next
service is due,
-
i

Level
Brake fluid
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Checking levels
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. It is normal to top up the oil level
between two services (or oil changes).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 km).
Oil level
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel (depending
on version), or using the dipstick.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Oil specification
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and
the cooling fan could start at any time
(even with the ignition off). It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been off for more than
30
minutes.

Oil filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Air filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement intervals for this
component.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
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.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's
service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace it twice as often if
necessary.
A dirty air filter may restrict engine
performance.
