F
A
fter checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not
valid during the 30
minutes after topping
up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Changing the coolant
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up. When the engine is hot, 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 the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.

260
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with a
ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
with antifreeze must be used that is appropriate
for the prevailing conditions, in order to
preser ve the elements of the system (pump,
tank, ducts, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reser voir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message that
the particle filter additive level is
too low.
To p p i n g u p
The reser voir must be topped up without delay
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue level
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue
® and the SCR
system, and in particular topping it up, refer to
the corresponding section.
Fluid specificationChecks
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.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(versions without quick release
terminals) and that the connections
are clean.
For more information and the precautions to
take before starting work on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12
V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
ser vice schedule 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
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
ser vice schedule for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message about
the risk of the filter clogging up. 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 Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly 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.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking inter val
for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer’s service
schedule for the checking inter val
for this component.
Brake pads
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.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.

Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section. 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.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the new Euro 6
standard,
without adversely affecting the performance or
fuel consumption of Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a particle filter (DPF)
for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank with
a capacity of around 17 litres. An alert system
is triggered automatically once the reser ve
level is reached: you can then drive for a further
1,500
miles (2,400 km) before the tank is
emptied completely.
Practical information
Page 265 of 404

263
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a system
required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6
standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a running distance of
685
miles (1,100
km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the warning
lamps and the associated alerts, refer to
the corresponding section.
Freezing of the AdBlue
®
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below
around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue
® tank, allowing you to continue
driving in all weather conditions.
Topping up with AdBlue®
Before topping up, please read the
following warnings carefully.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This liquid
is non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(store in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse the eyes with large amounts of water
or with an eye wash solution for at least
15
minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation
persists, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high exterior temperature,
for example), the risk of releasing ammonia
cannot be discounted: do not inhale the fluid.
Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat). Keep AdBlue
® out of the reach of children,
in its original container or bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue
® to another
container: it would lose its purity.
Never dilute AdBlue
® with water.
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
Containers are available from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. Use only AdBlue
® liquid that meets the
ISO 22241
standard.

264
Never top up from an AdBlue® dispenser
reserved for heavy goods vehicles.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes below around -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles or containers be stored in a cool
place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue
® in your vehicle.
Do not dispose of AdBlue
® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container provided
for this purpose or take them to your
dealer.
Procedure
In cold weather, before per forming the top-up
ensure that the temperature of the vehicle is
above -11°C. Other wise the AdBlue
® may be
frozen and so cannot be poured into its tank.
Park your vehicle in a warmer area for a few
hours to allow the top-up to be carried out.

Important
Never pour AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
To prevent causing the AdBlue tank to
over flow, it is recommended that you top it
up with between 10
and 13 litres.
If your vehicle's AdBlue tank is completely
empty – which is confirmed by the alert
messages and the impossibility of starting
the engine – you must add at least 4
litres.If any AdBlue
® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the side of the body, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
