when a trailer is being towed
(vehicle fitted with a towbar
recommended by PEUGEOT).
Reactivation
Press button A again to reactivate
the system. The indicator light on the
button is switched off.
If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is en-
gaged, the indicator light
flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction display.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction.
Pressure CheckWith the ignition on and the
vehicle having been sta-
tionary for approximately
15 minutes, and after the
engine oil level, this indica-
tor light comes on on the instrument
panel screen to indicate that the sys-
tem is measuring the tyre pressures.
Pressure OK
This indicator light comes
on on the instrument panel
screen if all of the tyre pres-
sure values measured are
correct.
If this indicator light does not appear,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. Puncture
This warning light, accom-
panied by the audible sig-
nal and the message on the
multi-function display locat-
ing the wheel concerned, is
followed by illumination of the STOP
warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very deflated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon
as possible.
Note: this message is also
displayed when one of the
wheels is away from the
vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fitted. All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fitted with
this system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (see manufactur-
er’s label) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the vehicle
is maintained and prevent premature
wear of the tyres, particularly in ardu-
ous driving conditions (heavy load,
high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of the
spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Flat tyre
This warning light is accom-
panied by the audible signal
and the message on the
multi-function display locat-
ing the wheel concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon
as possible. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning light is ac-
companied by the audible
signal and the message on
the multi-function display
which indicates that under-
inflation detection is absent from one
(or several) wheel(s) or that there is
a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to re-
place the faulty sensor(s).

99Checks-
Bonnet strut
Secure the strut in its housing to hold
the bonnet open.
Before closing the bonnet, replace
the strut in its clip.
To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at
the end of its travel. Check that the
bonnet is properly locked.
OPENING THE BONNET
From inside: pull the handle on
the left-hand side under the fascia
towards you.
From outside: lift the catch and raise
the bonnet. To avoid any risk of burns,
only handle the bonnet strut
by the protective foam.

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.Cooling systemCHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance op-
erations which keep your vehicle in
good working order. Consult the in-
structions in the PEUGEOT Network,
on the Infotec site or in the servic-
ing booklet enclosed with this hand-
book.
DipstickThere are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fill past this mark.
B = minimum
Oil level
 Check the level regularly and top
up between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
the engine having been off for more
than 15 minutes, using the dipstick. Important:
if you have to re-
move/refit the engine style
cover, handle it with care to
avoid damaging the fixing
clips. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out
at the intervals specified and the vis-
cosity of the oil chosen must meet the
requirements laid down in the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule. Con-
sult the instructions in the PEUGEOT
Network or on the Infotec site.
Note:
avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Empty the
used oil into the containers provided
for this purpose in the PEUGEOT Net-
work.
Oil filter
Replace the cartridge regularly in ac-
cordance with the recommendations
of the servicing schedule.
Brake fluid change
Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfils DOT4
Standards.
It is imperative that the brake fluid is
changed at the intervals specified in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
servicing schedule.
Note: avoid all contact with the skin,
the brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive.
Use only the fluid recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap to the first
notch to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level with coolant.
The engine fan can oper-
ate after the vehicle has
stopped.

Checks104 -
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fluid or coolant into
drains or onto the ground.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, to see and be seen, we would
advise that you use products of the
PEUGEOT Universal range.At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Battery
CHECKS
Have the filter elements re-
placed regularly.
If you drive
in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.
Brake pads
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services. Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance
of the system, the hand-
brake should be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake
To ensure the best perform-
ance from components as
important as the power steer-
ing and the braking system,
the manufacturer selects and offers
specific products, only use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing of
the engine compartment is strictly
prohibited .
Power steering fluid level
Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
 Open the reservoir, with the
engine at ambient temperature,
the level should always be above
the MIN mark, close to the MAX
mark.
Particle emission filter -
Additive reservoir (Diesel)
It is imperative that the maintenance
of the particle emission filter and the
filling of the additive reservoir are
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
servicing schedule.
