Fuel  
FILLING WITH FUEL  
FUEL CUT-OFF  
Capacity of the fuel tank: approximately 45 litres.  
In the event of a serious collision, a device  
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the  
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply.  
It also automatically unlocks the doors  
and switches on of the courtesy lamps. A  
message appears in the instrument panel  
screen according to version.  
turn the key to the STOP position to prevent  
discharging of the battery.  
Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel  
outside the vehicle.  
Low fuel level  
When the minimum fuel tank level  
is reached, this warning lamp  
comes on. When it first comes on,  
you have approximately 6 litres  
of fuel remaining. Refuel without delay to  
avoid running out of fuel.  
An arrow in the instrument panel indicates  
which side of the vehicle the filler flap is  
located.  
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the  
system in StOP mode; you must switch  
off the ignition with the key.  
When the fuel filler flap is open, a  
safety system prevents sliding of the  
side door (Combi).  
A label affixed to the inside of the flap  
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.  
Opening the filler cap may cause a noise  
resulting from the inrush of air. this vacuum  
is quite normal and results from the sealing  
of the fuel system.  
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue  
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle; this could  
cause malfunctions.  
Refuelling must be done with the engine off.

Hold the filler cap with one hand.  
With the other hand, insert the key, then  
turn it a third of a turn.  
-
Remove the filler cap and hang it on the  
hook, located on the inside of the filler  
flap.  
After filling the fuel tank, lock the filler cap  
and close the flap.

control A to release it.  
lower the bonnet and release it at the end  
of its travel. Check that the bonnet is fully  
latched.  
Before doing anything under the  
bonnet, switch off the ignition with the  
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from  
an automatic change to StARt mode.  
Because of the presence of electrical  
equipment under the bonnet, it is  
recommended that exposure to water (rain,  
washing, ...) be limited.  
Avoid opening the bonnet in strong winds.

Levels  
Oil change  
LEVELS  
Brake fluid level  
the brake fluid must be changed at  
the specified interval, as given in the  
manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
use fluids recommended by the  
manufacturer, which meets the DOt4  
standard.  
the level must be between the MIN and  
MAX marks on the reservoir.  
If fluid has to be added frequently, this  
indicates a fault which must be checked by a  
PeugeOt dealer or a qualified workshop as  
soon as possible.  
this must be carried out at the specified  
interval and the viscosity grade of the oil  
selected must fulfil the requirements of the  
manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask  
for advice from a PeugeOt dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
Remove the dipstick before filling.  
Check the level after filling (never exceed  
the maximum mark).  
these regular maintenance operations will  
keep your vehicle in good working order.  
Ask for advice from a PeugeOt dealer or a  
qualified workshop or refer to the warranty  
and maintenance record provided in the  
handbook pack.  
Oil level  
Refit the filler cap before closing the bonnet.  
Check the level regularly and top up  
between changes. the maximum oil  
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles  
(1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle  
level, engine cold, using the dipstick.  
Warning lamps  
Checking by means of the warning  
lamps in the instrument panel is  
described in the "Ready to set off -  
Instruments and controls" section.  
Dipstick  
there are two marks on the  
dipstick:  
A= maximum  
If you fill past this mark,  
contact a PeugeOt dealer  
or a qualified workshop.  
B= minimum  
Never allow the level to fall  
below this mark.  
to preserve the reliability of engines and  
emission control systems, the use of  
additives in engine oil is prohibited.  
8
Levels  
Engine coolant level  
Power steering fluid level  
Used products  
Only use the fluid recommended by the  
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously  
damaging your engine. When the engine  
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is  
controlled by the engine cooling fan. As 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.  
the vehicle must be parked on level ground  
with the engine cold. unscrew the cap with  
integral gauge and check the level which  
must be between the MIN and MAX marks.  
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the  
skin.  
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very  
corrosive.  
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or  
coolant into drains or into the ground, but  
into the containers provided for this purpose  
at PeugeOt dealers (France) or at an  
authorised waste disposal site.  
Screenwash fluid level  
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,  
topping up or replacement of this fluid  
should never be with plain water; we  
recommend the use of products available  
from PeugeOt dealers.  
Slacken the cap by two turns to release the  
pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.  
When the pressure has dropped, remove the  
cap and top up the level with coolant.  
If fluid has to be added frequently, this  
indicates a fault which must be checked by a  
PeugeOt dealer or a qualified workshop as  
soon as possible.  
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately  
3 litres.  
Topping up  
the level must be between the MIN and  
MAX marks on the header tank. If more than  
1 litre of fluid is required to top up the level,  
have the system checked by a PeugeOt  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Checks  
CHECKS  
Battery  
Brake pads  
At the start of winter, have your battery  
checked by a PeugeOt dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
Brake pad wear depends on the type of  
driving, in particular for vehicles which are  
used in town, over short distances. It may  
be necessary to check the brake pad wear,  
even between services.  
unless there is a leak on the system, a drop  
in the brake fluid level indicates that the  
brake pads are worn.  
Bleeding water from the Diesel filter  
If this warning lamp comes  
on, you must bleed the filter;  
otherwise bleed the filter  
regularly, every time the engine  
oil is changed.  
to remove the water, unscrew the bleed  
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located  
at the base of the filter. Operate until all of  
the water has flowed out. then tighten the  
bleed screw or the water sensor.  
the presence of this label, in particular  
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the  
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery  
with special technology and specification.  
the involvement of a PeugeOt dealer  
or a qualified workshop is essential when  
replacing or disconnecting the battery.  
Brake disc / drum wear  
For all information on checking the brake  
disc / drum wear, contact a PeugeOt  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
HDi engines use advanced  
technology. All work requires  
specialist knowledge, which all PeugeOt  
dealers have.  
Parking brake  
Air filter and passenger compartment  
filter  
Where the parking brake travel is too great  
or there is a reduction in the performance  
of the system, the parking brake should be  
adjusted, even between services.  
Have the system checked by a PeugeOt  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
A blocked passenger compartment filter  
may reduce the performance of the  
air conditioning system and generate  
undesirable odours. the replacement  
intervals for these components are indicated  
in the warranty and maintenance record.  
Depending on the environment (dusty  
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle  
(urban driving...), change them twice as  
often if necessary.  
Oil filter  
Change the filter regularly, in accordance  
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
Refer to the "Checks - under the  
bonnet" section.

Checks  
Manual gearbox  
Good practice  
the gearbox does not require any  
maintenance (no oil change).  
Refer to the warranty and maintenance  
record for the checking interval for this  
component.  
to check the main levels and certain  
components, in accordance with the  
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to  
the pages of the warranty and maintenance  
record which correspond to your vehicle's  
engine.  
Electronic gearbox  
the gearbox does not require any  
maintenance (no oil change).  
Refer to the warranty and maintenance  
record for details of the checking interval  
for this component.  
Only use products recommended by  
PeugeOt or products of equivalent  
quality and specification.  
In order to optimise the operation of units as  
important as the braking system, PeugeOt  
selects and offers specific products.  
In order to avoid damaging the electrical  
units, high pressure washing to clean the  
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.  
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in  
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and  
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.  
Make some light brake applications to dry  
and de-ice the brakes.  
Checks  
If possible, avoid switching off the  
engine before the end of regeneration  
of the filter, repeated interruptions could  
cause premature deterioration of the  
engine oil. It is not recommended to end  
regeneration of the filter with the vehicle  
stationary.  
Because of the higher exhaust  
gas temperature resulting from the  
normal operation of the particle filter, it is  
recommended that you do not park the  
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,  
dry leaves, pine needles, ...) so as to avoid  
any risk of fire.  
Particle filter (1.3 HDi 75)  
An addition to the catalytic converter, this  
filter makes an active contribution to the  
preservation of air quality by the retaining  
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black  
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.  
this filter, fitted to the exhaust system,  
accumulates particles of soot. the engine  
control unit manages the automatic  
periodic elimination of the soot particles  
(regeneration).  
Saturation / Regeneration  
Operating fault  
If there is risk of blockage of the  
filter, this warning lamp comes on  
in the instrument panel.  
If this alert persists, do not ignore the  
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred  
in the exhaust / particle filter system.  
Have it checked by a PeugeOt dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
the regeneration procedure is invoked  
according to the quantity of particles  
accumulated and the driving conditions  
of the vehicle. During this phase, you  
may notice some unusual phenomena -  
increased idling speed, cooling fan running,  
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas  
temperature - which does not affect the  
operation of the vehicle or the environment.  
After prolonged idling or driving at very low  
speeds, you may occasionally notice water  
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when  
accelerating. this is of no consequence  
to the running of the vehicle or to the  
environment.  
this alert tells you that the  
particle filter is starting to fill up (in  
conditions of urban driving of exceptionally  
long duration: low speeds, traffic jams etc.)  
to regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive  
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions  
and the law permit, at a speed of at least  
40 mph (around 60 km/h), with an engine  
speed above 2 000 rpm for about fifteen  
minutes (until the warning lamp and/or the  
message disappears).
