CHECKS
178
Avoid prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harm-
ful 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.










Diesel additive level (Diesel engine
with particle emission filter)







Used products


Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.
A low additive level is indi-
cated by illumination of the
service warning lamp, accom-
panied by an audible warning
and a message in the instrument panel
screen.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up with or replaced with plain water.

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 next stop
the vehicle.





















Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid






The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
become caught by the fan blades.



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

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
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
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.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the particle
fi lter is indicated by the temporary illu-
mination of this warning lamp accompa-
nied by a message in the multi-function
screen.
As soon as the traffi c conditions per-
mit, regenerate the fi lter 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 indi-
cates a low additive level.

On a new vehicle, the fi rst par-
ticle fi lter regeneration opera-
tions may be accompanied by
a "burning" smell, which is perfectly
normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstanc-
es, notice the emission of water va-
pour at the exhaust on acceleration.
This does not affect the behaviour of
the vehicle or the environment.

CHECKS


Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the servic-
ing booklet and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.







The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology
and specifi cation. The involvement
of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop is essential when replac-
ing or disconnecting the battery.













12 V battery


The battery does not require
any maintenance.
However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in sum-
mer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "12 V battery" section for
details of the precautions to be taken
before disconnecting the battery and
following its reconnection.





















Air filter and passenger compartment filter


Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these components.
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace them twice as often if neces-
sary
.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours.















Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
