Practical information

Take care with objects or clothing that

could be caught in the blades of the fan!

The locations of the following elements may

vary:

– Air ﬁlter.

– Engine oil dipstick.

– Engine oil ﬁller cap.

– Priming pump.

Opening

– Degassing screw.

Petrol engine

► Unclip the stay from its housing and place it

in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.

Closing

► Hold the bonnet and pull out the stay from the

support slot.

► Clip the stay in its housing.

► Lower the bonnet and release it near the end

of its travel.

► Open the left-hand front door.

► Pull the interior release lever, located at the

bottom of the door frame, towards you.

Diesel engine

► Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked

correctly.

Because of the presence of electrical

equipment under the bonnet, it is strongly

recommended that exposure to water (rain,

washing, etc.) be limited.

9. Engine oil dipstick

10. Priming pump*

For the location of the dipstick, please refer

to the illustration of the corresponding engine

compartment.

► Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and

pull it out completely.

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or

ﬂuids with the skin.

Most of these ﬂuids are harmful to health and

very corrosive.

11. Degassing screw*

The Diesel fuel system operates under

very high pressure.

► Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,

lint-free cloth.

Do not discard used oil or ﬂuids into

sewers or onto the ground.

Empty used oil into the containers reserved

for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

All work on this circuit must be carried out

only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

Checking levels

Check all of the following levels regularly in

accordance with the manufacturer's service

schedule. Top them up if required, unless

otherwise indicated.

If a level drops signiﬁcantly, have the

corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Engine oil

► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,

then pull it out again to visually check the oil

level: the correct level is between marks A (max)

and B (min).

Do not start the engine if the level is:

– above mark A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualiﬁed workshop.

The level is checked, with the engine

having been switched oﬀ for at least 30

minutes and on level ground, either using the oil

level indicator in the instrument panel when the

ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped

with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.

It is normal to top up the oil level between two

services (or oil changes). It is recommended

that you check the level, and top up if necessary,

every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).

The ﬂuids must comply with the

manufacturer's requirements and with

the vehicle's engine.

– below mark B: top up the engine oil

immediately.

Oil grade

Before topping up or changing the engine

oil, check that the oil is suitable for the engine

and complies with the recommendations in

the service schedule supplied with the vehicle

In order to maintain the reliability of the

engine and emissions control system,

never use additives in the engine oil.

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).

* Depending on engine.

Practical information

(or available from your PEUGEOT dealer and

qualiﬁed workshops).

Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate

the contractual warranty in the event of

engine failure.

Clean the cap before removing it to reﬁll.

Use only DOT4 brake ﬂuid from a sealed

container.

– 2.2 litres for other versions.

Fluid speciﬁcation

The ﬂuid must be topped up with a ready-to-use

mixture.

In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid

containing an agent to prevent freezing must

be used which is appropriate for the prevailing

conditions, in order to protect the elements of the

system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).

Engine coolant

It is normal to top up this ﬂuid between

two services.

For the location of the engine oil ﬁller cap, please

refer to the corresponding under-bonnet engine

compartment illustration.

► Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills

on engine components (risk of ﬁre).

► Wait a few minutes before checking the level

again using the dipstick.

The check and top-up must only be done with

the engine cold.

A low level presents a risk of serious damage to

the engine.

The level of this ﬂuid 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.

When the engine is hot, the temperature of this

ﬂuid is regulated by the fan.

As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at

least one hour after switching oﬀ the engine

before carrying out any work.

In order to avoid the risk of scalding if 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.

Filling with pure water is prohibited under

all circumstances (risk of freezing,

limestone deposits, etc.).

► Top up the level if necessary.

Diesel fuel additive (Diesel

with particle ﬁlter)

On reaching the minimum level in the

particle ﬁlter additive tank, this warning

lamp comes on ﬁxed, accompanied by an

audible warning and a message warning that the

additive level is too low.

► After checking the level, carefully screw the

oil ﬁller cap back on and replace the dipstick in

its tube.

Within 30 minutes of adding oil, the oil

level indication in the instrument panel

when the ignition is switched on is not valid.

Topping up

This additive must be topped up without delay by

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Brake ﬂuid

The level of this ﬂuid should be close to

the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake

pad wear.

To know how often the brake ﬂuid should be

replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing

schedule.

Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap

and top up to the required level.

AdBlue^®(BlueHDi)

An alert is triggered when the reserve level is

reached.

Screenwash ﬂuid

Top up to the required level when

necessary.

Capacity of the tank:

– 5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.

Practical information

For more information on the Indicators and in

particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to

the corresponding section.

To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in

accordance with regulations, you must top up the

AdBlue tank.

and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to

the corresponding section.

clean.

Oil ﬁlter

Change the oil ﬁlter each time the engine

oil is changed.

For more information on the precautions

to take before any work on the 12 V

battery, refer to the corresponding section.

Particle ﬁlter (Diesel)

The 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.

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.

Checks

Unless otherwise indicated, check these

components in accordance with the

manufacturer's service schedule and according

to your engine.

As soon as the traﬃc conditions permit,

regenerate the ﬁlter by driving at a speed of at

least 37 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp

goes oﬀ.

Passenger compartment

ﬁlter

Depending on the environment and the

use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,

city driving), change it twice as often, if

necessary.

If the warning lamp stays on, this

indicates a low Diesel additive level.

For more information on Checking levels,

refer to the corresponding section.

Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Only use products recommended by

PEUGEOT or products of equivalent

quality and speciﬁcation.

In order to optimise the operation of

components as important as those in the

braking system, PEUGEOT selects and oﬀers

very speciﬁc products.

Following prolonged operation of the

vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you

may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the
