ake a long press on this button.
Reinitialisation is confirmed by an low-pitched
audible signal.
A high-pitched audible signal indicates that the
reinitialisation has not been done.
The audible signal is accompanied by a
message, if your vehicle has a display screen.
The new pressure settings registered
are considered to be reference values by
the
system.
Operating fault
The under-inflation alert is only
dependable if the system has been
reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to
the correct pressures.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains. Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Checking levels
Oil level
The check of the oil level is carried
out with the dipstick, located under
the bonnet. For the position of the dipstick,
refer to the under-bonnet view on a previous
page.
Checking with dipstick
Refer to the under-bonnet view for the location
of the dipstick on your vehicle.
F

T

pull it out completely.
F

W
ith the end of the dipstick with a clean
and non-fluffy cloth.
F

R
efit the dipstick and push it fully down,
then pull it out again for a visual check of
the oil level:
the level must be between the two marks
A
and B . If you find that the oil level is above the A mark
or below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
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).
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.
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).
To ensure the accuracy of the reading, your
vehicle must be on a level sur face, with the
engine off for at least 30 minutes.

f the level is above
the MAX mark (risk of
engine damage), contact

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
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.Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at
routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.

Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.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.

Checks
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.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the
particle filter is indicated by
the fixed illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).
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.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burnt" smell, which
is perfectly 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.
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.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
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.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "Practical information" section for
details of the precautions to be taken before
disconnecting the battery and following its
reconnection.
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
.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.

checking interval for this component.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 pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.
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.
Checking this system must be done 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.

USING THE TELEPHONE
Pairing a telephone
First connection
The services offered depend on the network, the SIM card and the compatibility of the B\
luetooth telephone used.
Consult your telephone's manual and your operator to find out which services are available to you.
Activate the telephone's Bluetooth function and
ensure that it is "visible to all" (refer to the telephone
user guide). Press MENU. A window is displayed "
Search in progress…".
Select the telephone to be connected
from the list. Only one telephone can
be connected at a time. Select "Search for a device".
For safety reasons and because they require prolonged attention on the p\
art of the driver, the operations for pairing of the Bluetooth mobile
telephone with the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio system must\
be carried out with the
vehicle stationary and the ignition on.
Visit www.peugeot.co.uk for more information (compatibility, additional help, ...).
Select "Bluetooth connection " and
confirm.
