Engine compartment

Do not open the bonnet under very windy

conditions.

When the engine is hot, handle the

exterior safety catch and the stay with

care (risk of burns).

Checking levels

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.

The cooling fan may start after

switching off the engine: take care

with articles and clothing that might be

caught by the fan blades.

Because of the presence of electrical

equipment under the bonnet, it is

recommended that exposure to water

(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.

The liquid must comply with the

manufacturer's recommendations and with

the vehicle's engine.

Practical information

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).

To ensure that the reading is correct, your

vehicle must be parked on a level surface

with the engine stopped for more than

30 minutes.

A = MAX

B = MIN

It is normal to top up the oil level between

two services (or oil changes). PEUGEOT

recommends that you check the level, and top

up, if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).

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.

Checking using the dipstick

If you find that the level is above the A mark or

below the B mark, do not start the engine.

The location of the dipstick is shown in the

corresponding underbonnet layout view.

F Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and

pull it out 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 marks A and B.

If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of

damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

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 in the containers reserved for this

purpose.

If the level is below the MIN mark, you must

top up the engine oil.

Oil grade

Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,

check that the oil is the correct grade for your

engine and conforms to the manufacturer's

recommendations.

Engine oil level

The check is carried out either

using the oil level indicator on the

instrument panel when the ignition is

switched on, for vehicles equipped

with an electric gauge, or using the

dipstick.

Practical information

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.

Topping up the engine oil level

Access to the tank

The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the

corresponding underbonnet layout view.

F Unscrew the oil filler cap to access the filler

opening.

F Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any

spills on engine components (risk of fire).

F Wait a few minutes before checking the

level again using the dipstick.

When the engine is hot, the temperature of the

coolant 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.

To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap

two turns to release the pressure. After it has

dropped, remove the cap and top up.

F Add more oil if necessary.

F After checking the level, carefully refit the oil

filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.

F Unclip the plastic cover, located at the

bottom of the windscreen, by pressing on

both tabs.

The cooling fan may start after

switching off the engine: take care

with articles and clothing that might be

caught by the fan blades.

Engine oil change

In order to maintain the reliability of the engine

and emissions control system, never use

additives in the engine oil.

When you unclip the plastic cover, make

sure not to remove the seal.

Fluid speciﬁcations

These fluids must conform to the

manufacturer's recommendations.

Fluid speciﬁcation

This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's

recommendations.

Brake fluid level

Screenwash fluid level

"MAX" mark. If it is not, check the

brake pad wear.

necessary.

Coolant level

The level of this fluid must be

between the marks "FULL" or "F"

and "LOW" or "L".
