The use of this function, from approxi-
mately 12 mph (20 km/h) and associ-
ated with the xenon headlamps only,
considerably improves the quality of
your lighting when cornering.

CHECKS





































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.

Brake fluid level

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.

Oil level

The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel will only
be valid 30 minutes after topping up. The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.


Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level.


Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
low fl uid level is indicated by an
audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you stop the
vehicle.

Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.

Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up with or replaced with plain water.



Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

When working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain areas
of the engine may be extreme-
ly hot (risk of burns).

It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check
the oil level and top up if necessary ev-
ery 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres). In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Model with xenon and directional
headlamps The headlamps are fi tted with
polycarbonate glass with a
protective coating:


)
do not clean them using a dry
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,


)
use a sponge and soapy water,

)
when using a high pressure wash-
er on persistent marks, do not
keep the lance directed towards
the lamps or their edges for too
long, so as not to damage their
protective coating and seals.


Front lamps




)
Do not touch the bulb directly with
your fi ngers, use lint-free cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be
done after the headlamp has been
switched off for a few minutes (risk of
serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-ultra-
violet (UV) type bulbs in order not to
damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specifi cation.
