A minor fault has occurred for
which there is no specifi c warning
lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown in the
screen, such as, for example:
- opening of the doors, boot or bonnet,
- low engine oil level,
- low screenwash level,
- fl at remote control battery,
- saturation of the particle emission fi lter (Diesel)
As soon as traffi c conditions permit, regenerate the
fi lter by driving at a speed of at least 36 mph (60 km/h)
until the service warning lamp goes off.

With the engine running, when the needle is:
- in zone A , the temperature is correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is too high; the maximum temperature warning lamp and the central STOP warning lamp come on,
accompanied by an audible signal and an alert message in the

This information is displayed for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, at the same time as the service information.
The check of this level is only valid if the vehicle is on a level
surface, with the engine having been off for more than 30 minutes.
After driving for a few minutes, the temperature and pressure in the
cooling system increase.
To top up the level:
 wait 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.

Oil level correct
This is indicated by the fl ashing of "OIL" or an alert message in the
instrument panel, accompanied by illumination of the service warning
lamp and an audible signal.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up to prevent damage to the engine.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL--" or the appearance of an alert
message in the instrument panel.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric gauge, the oil level is no lon\
ger

CHECKING LEVELS
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine m\
ay be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start
at any time (even with the ignition off).
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be on
level ground and the engine must have been off for more than
30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil chang\
es).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top up if
necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location\
of
the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
- Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.
- Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fl uffy cloth.
- Refi t the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks A and B . A = MAX
B = MIN
If you fi nd that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do
not start the engine .
- If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine),
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
- If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.

7/
CHECKS
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
The brake fl uid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval\

for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fl uid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
The power steering fl uid level should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
Topping up the engine oil level
Oil grade
The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section to identify the \
location of the oil fi ller cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
- Unscrew the oil fi ller cap to reveal the fi ller aperture.
- Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fi re).
- Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.
- Add more oil if necessary.
- After checking the level, carefully refi t the oil fi ller cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with \
the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the \
30 minutes after topping up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval\

for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control \
system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
