6
mph (10 km/h).
Low fuel level
fixed. When it first comes on there remains
approximately 5 litres of fuel in the
tank. You must 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 50 litres.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

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.

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.

In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.

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.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.
Used products
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
engine with particle filter)
A low additive level is indicated by illumination
of the service warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible warning and a message in the
screen (if a display screen is fitted).

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.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval for
this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any

Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for details of the checking
interval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for details of the level
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.
