Dashboard instruments
Checking
After driving for a few minutes, the temperature
and pressure in the cooling system increase.
To top up the level:
►
wait at least one hour for the engine to cool,
►


unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop,
►


when the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap,
►


top up the level to the "MAX" mark.
For more information on Checking levels

, refer
to the corresponding section.
Be aware of the risk of scalding when
topping up the coolant. Do not fill above
the maximum level (indicated on the
reservoir).
Engine oil level indicator
(Depending on version)
On versions fitted with an electric gauge, the
engine oil level status is displayed on the
instrument panel for a few seconds when the
ignition is switched on, at the same time as the
servicing information.
The level read will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Oil level correct

This is indicated by a message on the instrument
panel.
Low oil level

This is indicated by a message on the instrument
panel.
If a low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to avoid
damage to the engine.
For more information on Checking levels, refer
to the corresponding section.
Oil gauge malfunction

This is indicated by the display of a message on
the instrument panel.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a malfunction of the
electric gauge, the oil level is no longer
monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located in the engine compartment.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
AdBlue® range indicators
(BlueHDi)
The Diesel BlueHDi engines are equipped with
a system that associates the SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) emissions control system
and the Diesel particle filter (DPF) for the
treatment of exhaust gases. They cannot
function without AdBlue
® fluid.
When the level of AdBlue® falls below the
reserve level (between 1,500 and 0 miles (2,400
and 0

km)), a warning lamp lights up when
the ignition is switched on and an estimate
of the distance that can be travelled before
engine starting is prevented is displayed in the
instrument panel.
The engine starting prevention system required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is empty.
It is then no longer possible to start the
engine until the minimum level of AdBlue
® has
been topped up.

Checking levels
Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service
schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The fluids must comply with the manufacturer's requirements and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even with
the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Practical information
7Engine oil
The level is checked, with the engine having been switched off for at least 30
minutes and on level ground, either using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel when the
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended
that you check the level, and top up if necessary,
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,
never use additives in the engine oil.
Checking using the dipstick
For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.
►

Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely

.
►

Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,
lint-free cloth.


► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,
then pull it out again to visually check the oil
level: the correct level is between marks A (max)
and B (min).
Do not start the engine if the level is:
–

above mark
A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
–

below mark

B
: top up the engine oil
immediately.
Oil grade
Before topping up or changing the
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable
for your engine and complies with the
recommendations in the service schedule
supplied with the vehicle (or available
from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop).
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
your warranty in the event of engine failure.
Topping up the engine oil level
For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please
refer to the corresponding engine compartment
illustration.
►

Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills
on engine components (risk of fire).
►


W
ait a few minutes before checking the level
again using the dipstick.
►

T
op up the level if necessary.
►

After checking the level, carefully screw the
oil filler cap back on

and replace the dipstick in
its tube.
The oil level indication displayed on the instrument panel when the ignition is
switched on is not valid for 30 minutes
following an addition of oil.
Brake fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake
pads for wear.
To know how often the brake fluid should be
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Power steering fluid
The level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the
vehicle parked on level ground and with the
engine cold, by reading the level on the filler
neck.
Engine coolant
(Diesel)
It is normal to top up this fluid between
two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.

206
In the event of a breakdown
Do not forget to obtain a new bottle of
sealant, available from a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.


► Drive immediately for approximately three
miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed
(between 12 and 37
mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to
plug the puncture.
►

Stop to check the repair and measure the
tyre pressure using the kit.
Inflating, adjusting and
checking tyre pressures


► Turn selector A to the "Inflation"
position.
►

Uncoil the white pipe G

fully.
►

Connect the white pipe to the valve on the
repaired tyre.
►


Reconnect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12

V socket.
►

Start the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
You must tell the technician that the kit has
been used. After inspection, the technician
will advise you on whether the tyre can be
repaired or if it must be replaced.
►

Adjust the tyre pressure using the
compressor (to inflate: set switch

B to position
"I"; to deflate: set switch B to position "O" and
press button C), according to the vehicle's tyre
pressure label located by the driver's door.
A subsequent loss of pressure indicates that
the puncture has not been fully sealed; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have your vehicle repaired.
►

Remove the kit and stow it.
► Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
(80 km/h) max.), limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 125 miles
(200
km).
The compressor can also be used, without injecting sealant, to check and
adjust the tyre pressures.
If after approximately 7 minutes the
required pressure is not reached, this
indicates that the tyre is irreparably damaged;
contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
Do not drive more than 125 miles (200
km) with a repaired tyre; see a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the tyre changed.
