Cooling system

Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level

The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the level
which must be between the MIN
and MAX

marks.

Used oil

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with
the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground but
into the containers dedicated to this use at
PEUGEOT dealerships (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.


Topping up

The level must be between the MIN
and
MAX
marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres.

Particle filter system (Diesel)

An addition to the catalytic converter, this
filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by the retaining
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.
This filter, fitted to the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
control unit manages the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is invoked
according to the quantity of particles
accumulated and the driving conditions
of the vehicle. During this phase, you
may notice some unusual phenomena -
increased idling speed, cooling fan running,
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas
temperature - which does not affect the
operation of the vehicle or the environment. After prolonged idling or driving at very low
speeds, you may occasionally notice water
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when
accelerating. This is of no consequence
to the running of the vehicle or to the
environment.
Because of the higher exhaust gas
temperature resulting from the normal
operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, ...) so as to avoid
any risk of fire.
Saturation / Regeneration

Operating fault
If this alert persists, do not ignore the
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred
in the exhaust / particle filter system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This alert tells you that the particle filter
is starting to fill up (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams etc.)
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a speed of at least
40 mph (around 60 km/h), with an engine
speed above 2 000 rpm for about fifteen
minutes (until the warning lamp and/or the
message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of regeneration of the
filter; repeated interruptions could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It
is not recommended to end regeneration of
the filter with the vehicle stationary. If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
