Oil change: according to the manu-

facturer’s servicing schedule.

– Dipstick. Never fill past the

maximum mark A.

– Oil level gauge on the instrument

panel.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

Engine

Checking the oil level

Check the level regularly and top

up between changes (maximum

consumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles

(1,000 km).

The oil level should be checked with

the vehicle level, engine cold.

There are two marks on the dipstick:

Brake fluid reservoir

Checking the brake and clutch fluid

level :

– The level should always be above

the DANGER mark on the reser-

voir.

– If the level drops substantially,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-

diately.

Viscosity selection

Fluid change

– must be carried out according to

the manufacturer’s schedule.

– use fluids approved by the manu-

facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan-

dards.

In all cases, the oil selected must

meet the manufacturer's require-

ments.

A = maximum.

B = minimum.

Oil filter

Change the filter regularly in accor-

dance with the maintenance schedule.

Coolant reservoir

Use the fluid approved by the manu-

facturer.

When the engine is warm, the tem-

perature of the coolant is controlled

by the engine fan: because this fan

can operate with the ignition key

removed, and because the cooling

system is pressurised, wait for at least

one hour after the engine has stopped

before carrying out any work.

If necessary, in a breakdown, slacken

the cap to the first notch to release

the pressure to prevent any risk of

scalding. When the pressure has

dropped remove the cap and top up

the level.

Used oil

Prevent used oil from coming into pro-

longed contact with the skin.

Do not dispose of used oil into drains

or into the ground.

To maintain the reliability of engines

and emission control systems, the use

of additives in the engine oil is prohi-

bited.

of driving, in particular for vehicles

which are used in town or for short

journeys or which are driven in a

sporty manner, it may be necessary

to check the thickness of the pads

even between services.

Fitting the spare wheel

Anti-theft bolts**

If your vehicle is fitted with a steel

spare wheel, it is normal to notice

that the bolt washers do not come

into contact with the rim. The spare

wheel is secured by the cone shape

of each bolt. Tighten the bolts fully.

If your wheels are fitted with an anti-

theft bolt (one per wheel), the chro-

me trim and then the plastic cover

must be removed using tool 3, befo-

re unscrewing the bolt using one of

the two anti-theft sockets (which

were given to you on delivery of your

vehicle with the duplicate keys and

the confidential card) and the wheel

brace 1.

Bolt covers

Alloy wheel bolts are covered by

chrome trims.

Use tool 3 to remove the trims befo-

re slackening the bolts.

Fitting snow tyres

If you fit snow tyres mounted on

steel wheels, it is essential to use

special bolts available from your

PEUGEOT dealer.

Comment: make a careful note of

the code number engraved on the

head of the anti-theft socket. This

will enable you to obtain a duplicate

of the anti-theft sockets from a

Peugeot dealer.

Special features of the automatic

gearbox

When towing with four wheels on the

ground, the following rules must be

obeyed:

– lever in position N,

– tow the vehicle at less than

30 m.p.h. (50 km/h) over a maximum

distance of 30 miles (50 km),

– do not add oil to the gearbox.

TOWING

Without lifting (four wheels on the ground)

You must always use a towbar.

From the front or the rear

Attach the towbar to the towing eye.

By lifting (two wheels only on the ground)

It is preferable to lift the vehicle by the wheels.

Never use the radiator crossmember.

Driving advice

For use in arduous conditions

TOWING A TRAILER,

CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.

Only use original PEUGEOT towbars

which have been tested and approved

from the design stage of your vehicle.

The towbar must be fitted by a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Your vehicle is mainly designed for

transporting people and luggage but it

may also be used to tow a trailer.

Driving with a trailer subjects the

towing vehicle to more significant

forces and requires particular atten-

tion on the part of the driver.

Air density decreases with altitude,

thus also reducing engine perfor-

mance. Above 1000 metres, reduce

the maximum towing load by 10 %

and so on for each additional

1000 metres.

(towed load at the limit of the Permis-

sible Gross Train Weight, in Summer

on a long hill) certain engines (1.9 l

Diesel) must be equipped with a

more resistant cooling system.

Distribution of loads: distribute the

load in the trailer so that the heaviest

loads are as close as possible to the

axle and the nose weight is close to

the maximum authorised without,

however, exceeding it.

Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope

increases the coolant temperature. As

the fan is electrically controlled, its

cooling capacity is not dependent on

the engine speed.

On the contrary, use a high gear to

lower the engine speed, and reduce

your speed.

The maximum towing load on a long

slope depends on the gradient and

the outside temperature.

Consult a PEUGEOT dealer who,

depending on your vehicle and what it

is used for, will be able to advise you

about suitable equipment.

Pay attention to the coolant tempera-

ture at all times.

If the alarm warning light comes on,

stop the vehicle and switch off the

engine as soon as possible.

Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the

towing vehicle and the trailer, obser-

ving the recommended pressures.

In all cases, pay attention to the

coolant temperature.

If the warning light comes on, stop the

vehicle and switch off the engine as

soon as possible.

Brakes: towing increases the braking

distance. Drive at a moderate speed,

change down early, brake gradually

and avoid jerky braking.

Lighting: adjust your headlamps so

as not to dazzle other road users.

Check the electrical signalling on the

trailer.

Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is

increased. Drive smoothly and at a

moderate speed.

Waxing: the regular use of wax

added to the washing water or

applied separately is strongly recom-

mended, it protects the upper coats of

paintwork against external attack.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE

- Clean off, as soon as

possible, bird droppings,

resinous deposits, tar

To preserve the paintwork and the

plastic trim on your vehicle, we rec-

ommend that you wash them regu-

larly,

- by hand, there are no specific pre-

cautions to take;

- however repeated use of poorly

maintained automatic car-washes

can lead to the appearance of

micro-scopic scratches which give

the paintwork a matt appearance

(especially visible on dark colours);

stains

and

grease

marks ; (as these all contain

substances which can cause

serious damage to the paint-

work).

- Brake briefly several times to

expel any dampness from the

brake pads, when you are set-

ting off after washing your vehi-

cle.

For all questions relating to the main-

tenance of your vehicle, contact an

approved dealer who can advise you

on quality products selected by our

departments.

- using a high pressure washer,

always following the recommen-

dations on the equipment (pres-

sure and spraying distance).

- Do not use a dry or abrasive

cloth, or detergent or solvent

products to clean the double

lens, complex surface head-

lamps as they are fitted with

polycarbonate glass covered in

a protective finish.

- Do not use petrol, oil or cloth

stain removers to clean the

bodywork and plastic parts of

your vehicle.

- To prevent the development of

bodywork corrosion as a result

of accidental damage (stone

chips, scratches etc.) have them

repaired swiftly.

If there are areas of damage on the

vehicle (painted bumpers, or head-

lamps), it is not recommended to

direct the high pressure jet onto

them: wash the areas of damage

by hand.

Also avoid the entry of water into

the locks.
