On the inside
This operation must only be carried out with the
vehicle stationary and the driver's door open.
Pull the release lever on the side of the
dashboard towards you.
On the outside
Push the safety catch lever located above
the grille to the right and raise the bonnet. Before closing the bonnet, put the stay back
in its housing.
Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of
its travel. Check that the bonnet has latched.
OPENING THE BONNET
Do not open the bonnet in strong
winds.
When the engine is hot, handle the safety
catch and stay with care (risk of burns). If the bonnet is not closed
correctly, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
an automatic change to START mode.
CLOSING THE BONNET
Bonnet stay
Unclip the stay and tilt it to insert it in the
first notch, then the second.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water (rain,
washing, ...) be limited.

Levels and checks

CHECKS
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Good practice
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the warranty and maintenance
record which correspond to your vehicle's
engine.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers specific products.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on,
have the brake pad wear checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is strictly
prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
and de-ice the brakes.

Failed bulb or lamp
138 When using a high pressure washer
on stubborn dirt, do not persist on
the headlamps, the lamps and their edges
to avoid damaging their lacquer finish and
seals.
