Checking levelsCheck all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Never do anything in the compartments
when the "Ready" lamp is on or when
your vehicle is being charged.
Take care when carrying out checks
in the front and rear compartments as
some parts of the compartments can
be very hot (risk of burns): wait at least
one hour after stopping the motor or the
end of the charging procedure before
carrying out any work.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be
between the "MIN" and "MA X"
marks. If it is not, check the brake
pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Front compartment Heating system fluid level
Changing the fluid
The fluid does not have to be changed.
Fluid specification
The fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations. The level of this fluid should be between
the "L" MIN and "F" MA X marks.
Screenwash fluid level

The coolant level should be between
the MIN "L" and MA X "F" marks.
Coolant levelAvoid prolonged contact of used fluids
with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health and some are very corrosive.
Do not discard used fluids into sewers
or onto the ground.
Take used fluids to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop (France) or to
an authorised waste disposal site.
Used products
Rear compartment
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Coolant specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the motor
and/or the end of the charge cycle before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
Ancillaries battery
electrolyte level
Remove the battery protective cover to check
this level (refer to the "ancillaries battery"
section).
The electrolyte level should be between the
MIN "LOWER LEVEL" and MA X "UPPER
L E V E L" .
If necessary, top up using distilled water by
removing the individual battery caps.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
per month.

ChecksUnless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Passenger compartment filter
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for this filter.
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
Brake pads
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specifications.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
very specific products.
Parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between two
services.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the
brake disc or drum wear, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city
driving),
replace it twice as often if necessar y .
A dirty passenger compartment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.
