Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats. Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference. Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.
Carry out this check in particular: - before a long journey, - at each change of season, - after a long period out of use. Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Warning lampis onCauseAction / Observations

Engine autodiagnosis system
flashing. The engine management system has a fault. Risk of destruction of the catalytic converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
fixed. The emission control system has a fault.
The warning lamp should go off when the engine is started. If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop without delay.

Low fuel level fixed with the needle in the red zone. When it first comes on there remains approximately 6 litres of fuel in the tank. At this point, you begin to use the fuel reserve.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel. This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is made. Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres . Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as this could damage the emission control and injection systems.

Maximum coolant temperature fixed with the needle in the red zone. The temperature of the cooling system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping up the level, if necessary. If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Engine oil pressure fixed. There is a fault with the engine lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so. Park, switch off the ignition and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Dynamic stability control (DSC/ASR)
flashing. The DSC/ASR regulation is operating. The system optimises traction and improves the directional stability of the vehicle in the event of loss of grip or trajectory.
fixed. The DSC/ASR system has a fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT or a qualified workshop.

Oil level correct
Oil level low
Oil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator, the engine oil level is no longer monitored. When the system has a fault, you should check the engine oil level using the manual dipstick (located under the bonnet).
This is signalled by the flashing of " O I L" , or the display of a message "Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel, accompanied by illumination of the service warning lamp and an audible signal. If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
prevent damage to the engine. Refer to the "Checks of levels" section.
This is signalled by the flashing of "OIL- -" or the display of a message "Oil level measurement invalid" in the instrument panel Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
On versions fitted with an electric oil level indicator, the state of the engine oil level is displayed in the instrument panel for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, after the service information.
The level shown will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
* Depending on version.
Refer to the "Checks of levels" section.

Checking levels
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 vehicles with and electric oil level gauge, or using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. 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.
A = MA X
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).
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
B = MIN
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 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not star t the engine . - If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. - If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.
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. - Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth. - Refit 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 .

Checks197
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval for this operation.
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
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.
Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the oil filler cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle. - Unscrew the oil filler cap to reveal the filler aperture. - Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire). - Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick. - Add more oil if necessary. - After checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
Oil grade The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
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.

emission filter)
Used products
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water.
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen. Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
A low additive level is indicated by illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground. Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it. When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
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 pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Coolant level
The cooling fan may star t after switching off the engine: take care with articles and clothing that might become caught by the fan blades.

Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the warranty and maintenance record and according to your engine. Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed. Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the replacement interval for this component.
Oil filter
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the replacement intervals for these components. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary . if necessary . if necessary A clogged passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect on the per formance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
12 V battery The battery does not require any
maintenance. However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened, particularly in summer and winter. When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "12 V battery" section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification. The involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnecting the battery.
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp accompanied by a message in the multi-function screen. As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off. If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level.

Brake disc wear
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 in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for the details of the level checking interval for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the checking interval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the level checking interval for this component.
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
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.
For more information, refer to the "Electric parking brake - Operating faults" section.
