Service


temporarily,
accompanied
by a message. Minor faults have occurred
for which there is no
specifi c warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message
displayed in the screen:


- doors, boot or bonnet open,

- low engine oil level,

- low screenwash/headlamp wash reservoir
level,

- remote control battery fl at,

- low tyre pressures,

- saturation of the particle emission fi lter on
Diesel vehicles (see Checks - checking
levels/particle emissions fi lter).
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

fi xed,
accompanied
by a message
and an audible
signal. Major faults have occurred
for which there is no

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
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.















Engine oil level indicator

System which informs the driver whether
the engine oil level is correct or not.
This information is indicated for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on, after the service information.

Oil level correct

Oil level low
Oil level indicator fault

Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of "OIL"
,
linked with the service warning lamp, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunction screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of "OIL --"
.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of
damage to the engine),

- B
= min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap,
using the grade of oil
suited to your engine.

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


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 pressure 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 Warranty and Maintenance
Record 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.
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.

It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the oil
level and top up if necessary every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
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.


Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

When working under the bonnet,
take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

CHECKS
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop (France) or to
an authorised waste disposal site.









Used products

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.

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











Additive level (Diesel with
particle emissions filter)

Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up with-
out delay by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
The additive reservoir low level is
indicated by fi xed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a mes-
sage that the particle emissions
fi lter additive level is too low.
