When the engine is hot, the temperature of the

coolant 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.

Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap

and top up to the required level.

The oil level indication displayed on the

instrument panel when the ignition is

switched on is not valid for 30 minutes

following an addition of oil.

components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).

Filling with pure water is prohibited in all

circumstances (risk of freezing, limescale,

etc.).

Brake fluid

The level of this fluid should be close

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

brake pads for wear.

Checks

Unless otherwise indicated, check these

components in accordance with the

Manufacturer's service schedule and according

to your engine.

For electric versions

To know how often the brake fluid should be

replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing

schedule.

For electric versions

Do not top up the coolant.

Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

If the level is close to or below the

"MIN" mark, it is essential to contact a

Clean the cap before removing it to

refill.Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a

sealed container.

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.

Engine coolant

For petrol, hybrid or rechargeable hybrid

versions

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

12 V battery

It is normal to top up this fluid be-

tween two services.

Screenwash fluid

The battery does not require any

maintenance.

Top up to the required level when

necessary.

The check and top-up must only be done with

the engine cold.

A level of coolant that is too low risks causing

major damage to the engine; the coolant level

must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever

going above it.

Check regularly that the terminals are

correctly tightened (versions without quick-

release terminals) and that the connections are

clean.

Fluid specification

The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed

product.

In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid

containing an anti-freeze agent which is

appropriate for the temperature conditions must

If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark, it

is essential to top it up.

Practical information

Automatic gearbox

For more information on the precautions to

take before any work on the 12 V battery,

refer to the corresponding section.

For more information on the Electric

parking brake, refer to the corresponding

section.

The gearbox does not require any

maintenance (no oil change).

Versions equipped with Stop & Start are

fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery with

special technology and specifications.

Its replacement should be carried out only by

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Wheels and tyres

Brake pads

The inflation pressure of all tyres,

including the spare wheel, must be

checked on "cold" tyres.The pressures

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.

indicated on the tyre pressure label

are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for

more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10

kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add 0.3

bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.

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.

Under-inflation increases energy

consumption. Non-compliant tyre

pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely

and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's

road holding - risk of accident!

After washing the vehicle, moisture, or

in wintry conditions, ice can form on the

brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may

be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and

defrost them.

Air filter

Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the

braking and road holding performance of the

vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the

tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as

the presence of the valve caps.

Depending on the environment and

the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty

atmosphere, city driving), change it

twice as often, if necessary.

Brake disc wear

For any information on checking brake

disc/drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

When the wear indicators no longer appear set

back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is

less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as 7

possible.

Oil filter

Change the oil filter each time the

engine oil is changed.

Using different size wheels and tyres from those

specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel

rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer

reading and have an adverse effect on road

holding.

Electric parking brake

This system does not require any

routine servicing. However, in the

event of a problem, do not hesitate

to have the system checked by a

Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles

can cause the ESC to mistime.
