FUEL TANK
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55 litres.
LOW FUEL LEVEL
R

EFUELLING
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning
lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and an alert message. When it first comes on
there remains approximately 5 litres

of fuel in the tank.
Until

sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp appears every time
the ignition is switched on, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message. When driving, this audible signal and display of the alert
message

are repeated with increasing frequency as the fuel level drops
towards

"0".
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also to the "Running out of fue\
l
(Diesel)" section.
A


label

affixed to the inside of the flap reminds you of the type of fuel to
be used depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres, in order to be registere\
d by
the fuel gauge. T

o fill the tank in complete safety:
F the engine must be switched off,
F
press the rear part of the flap, then raise it to open it,
F

turn the cap to the left,
F


remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the
flap,
F

fill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut-off of the
pump; this could cause malfunctions.
Opening
the filler cap may create a noise a caused by an inrush
of air

. This vacuum is entirely normal, resulting from the sealing of
the fuel system.

RCZ_en_Chap07_verifications_ed01-2015
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 may 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 manufacturer's
service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If

a

level

drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by
a


PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked
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.
F

T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.
F Wipe
the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth.
F Refit
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 = MA
x
B

= MIN
If you find 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 qualified workshop.
-

If the level is below the
MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.

BRAKE FLUId LEVEL
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. 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.
POWER STEERING FLUI d LEVEL
The power steering fluid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
Engine oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine oil, ensure that you have the
correct grade of oil for your engine and that it meets the manufacturer'\
s
recommendations.
Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section to identify the \
location
of the oil filler cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
F Unscrew
the oil filler cap to reveal the filler aperture.
F Add
oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine
components

(risk of fire).
F

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

Add more oil if necessary
.
F After
checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler 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 manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval\

for this operation.

The additive reservoir low level is indicated by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message
that the particle filter additive level is too low.
Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
USEd PROdUCTS

not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take
used oil to a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
COOLANT LEVEL
The coolant level should be close to the "MAx" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hou\
r
after switching of
f the engine 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. The cooling fan may start after switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water .
In
wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol or methanol base fluid is
