Checks






Checking levels


Ta k e c a r e w h e n w o r k i ng under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the enginemay be extremely hot (risk of burns).
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 o
ff for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices
(or oil changes). PEUGEOTrecommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check whenswitching on the ignition with the oil levelindicator in the instrument panel is not validduring the 30 minutes after topping up.

Engine oil change

Refer to the ser vicing booklet 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.

Oil specifi cation

The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the manufacturer'srecommendations.

Th
e brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fl uid level

Chan
ging the fl uid

Refer to the ser vicing booklet for details of
the inter val for this operation.

Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT4 standard.
Power steering fl uid level
The power steering fluid level shouldbe close to the "MAX" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level. I
f a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.

Checks
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids intosewers or onto the ground. Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or toan authorised waste disposal site.

Checks






Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to
the "Practical information" section for details of
the precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection. Refer to the servicin
g booklet for
details of the replacement inter vals
for these components.
Dependin
g on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the
vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary(refer to the "Engines"
section).
A clogged passenger compar tment filter may have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generateundesirable odours.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter val
for this component.
Oil filter The presence of this label, in par ticular with
the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification, for which the
involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is required when replacingor disconnecting the battery. Failure to obser ve this recommendation mayshor ten the life of the battery.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of thepar ticle filter is indicated by
the temporary illumination of
this warning lamp accompanied by a message
in the multi-function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at aspeed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on,this indicates a low additive level.

On a new vehicle, the first particlefilter regeneration operations may beaccompanied by a "burning" smell,which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of thevehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour atthe exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the ser vicing booklet and according to your engine.

Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It ma
y be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked,even between vehicle services.
