Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items the of the boot, as close as
possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use
a roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule. When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle's nitrogen oxides emissions
back in line with the regulations.

All work on this circuit must be carried out
only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The liquid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine.
Practical information

187
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
or indeed very corrosive.Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop and dispose of it in
the containers reser ved for this purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick. To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a
level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30

minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).

Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up this fluid
between two services. To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a
cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Engine oil change
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil. The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a
risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of this
fluid is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work. Tank capacity:
-

5
.3 litres for the "very cold climate"
versions.
-

2
.2 litres for other versions.
Fluid specification
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with
a ready for use mix.

Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
orThe additive reser voir 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.
To p p i n g u p
This additive must be topped up without delay
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
AdBlue level
An alert is triggered once the reser ve level is
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals
are correctly tightened (versions without quick
release terminals) and that the connections
are clean.
For more information on the precautions
to take before starting work on the 12 V
battery , refer to the corresponding
section.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a
12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Air filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary .
Cabin filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary.
A clogged cabin filter may have an
adverse effect on the per formance of
the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with
antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for
the prevailing conditions, in order to preser ve
the elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts,
e t c .) .
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
For more information on AdBlue and the SCR
system, and in particular topping it up, refer to
the corresponding section.

Particle filter (Diesel)
orThe start of saturation of the particle
filter is signalled by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a
message warning
of the risk of the filter clogging up.
Traffic conditions permitting, regenerate
the filter by driving at a
speed of at least
37
mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a
low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
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.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For all information on checking
brake disc wear, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between two
services.
On a

new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
specific check. However, in the
event of a
problem, have the system
checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a
month and before a long
j o u r n ey.
