Practical information
Topping up
Coolant level
Screenwash fluid level
This additive must be topped up without delay
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
Level of AdBlue
Fluid speciꢀcation
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 "MAX"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
An alert is triggered once the reserve level is
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up the AdBlue tank.
The screenwash fluid must be topped up with
a ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid with
antifreeze must be used that is appropriate for
the prevailing conditions, in order to preserve
the elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts,
etc.).
For more information on AdBlue (BlueHDi
engines), and in particular on topping up the
tank, refer to the corresponding section.
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).
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 the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, wrap 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.
Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
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.
The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
