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 fluid level

Changing the fl uid

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


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet the
DOT3 or DOT4 standard.

Power steering fluid 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, in line with the ser vicing booklet and the requirements of the warranty. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.

223
Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be closeto the "MA X" 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 an
y risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.When the pressure has dropped, remove thecap and top up the level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up with or
replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid

In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, the low fluid level is indicated by an audible signal anda message in the instrument panelscreen.
Top up the reser voir when you next stop the
vehicle. The cooling fan may star t after switchingoff the engine: take care with ar ticles andclothing that might become caught by thefan blades.

224
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 to an authorised waste disposal site.








Used products
To p p i ng up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
w
ithout delay.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
A low additive level is indicated by illumination
of the ser vice warning lamp, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the
instrument panel screen.

Checks






Checks
12 V battery


The battery does not require anymaintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are c
lean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
Refer to the servicin
g booklet for
details of the replacement inter vals
for these components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time theengine 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. The involvement
of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
is essential when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Par ticle 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, thisindicates 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.
When carr
ying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of theprecautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.Dependin
g on the environment (e.g. dustyatmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary.y A clogged passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect on the performance
of the air conditioning system and generateundesirable odours.

Checks
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for
the details of the level checkinginterval for this component.
6-speed electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the checking inter val for
this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the level checkin
g interval
for this component. Brake wear depends on the st
yle
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.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
















Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system isnoticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between
tw
o services.
Checking this system must be done by aPEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Technical data
*
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg). **

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.

















Petrol weights and towed loads (in kg)
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
