Checks






Checking levels






Before doing anything under the bonnet,
switch off the ignition (Readylamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine.
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 off 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 engineand 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
DOT4 standard.

Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level shouldbe close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level. If a level drops si
gnificantly, 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.
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).

!
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.

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 servicing 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 twiceas often if necessary (refer to the "Engines"section).
A clogged passenger compar tment filter mayhave an adverse effect on the per formanceof the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
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 particular with
the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification, for which theinvolvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is required when replacing
or disconnecting the battery.Failure to obser ve this recommendation may
shor ten the life of the battery.
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.





Before doing anything under the bonnet,switch off the ignition (Ready
lamp off) to avoid any risk of injury resulting fromautomatic operation of the engine.

Checks





6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the checking interval for
this component.
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, evenbetween vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
th
e brake fluid level indicates that the brakepads are worn.
Brake pads
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The star t of saturation of the par 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 a speed 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 par ticle filter 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.

The 100 % electric mode is not
available during regeneration of thepar ticle emissions filter.

JBL EQUIPMENT
The Hi-Fi system is a 5.1 system developed by PEUGEOT in conjunction with JBL.

4 two-wa
y speaker kits, separated by an active fi lter, are fi tted at front andrear.
These are based on a fabric dome tweeter deliverin
g stable and balanced
treble reproduction and a 50W RMS neodymium magnet inverted motor medium-woofer possessing a very high output of bass frequencies.
The central line in the dashboard improves reproduction o
f the musicalscene, putting the listener in a situation that realistically reproduces theoriginal musical recording.
The bass unit located in the boot carries a 150W tri
ple-coil true subwoofer
in an optimised space, giving depth and impact to the bass ranges.
This set of speakers is controlled b
y a 10-way 500W RMS 2 ohm
amplifi er, using advanced surround sound and sound distribution handling, so as to deliver optimum performance both for the driver and for
the passengers in the vehicle.
