Levels

To maintain the reliability of engines and

emission control systems, the use of

additives in engine oil is prohibited.

LEVELS

Changing the brake fluid

These regular maintenance operations

The brake fluid must be changed at

the intervals stated, according to the

manufacturer's servicing schedule.

will keep your vehicle in good running

order. Ask for advice at a PEUGEOT dealer

or consult the servicing booklet enclosed in

the handbook pack.

Oil change

Use fluids recommended by the

manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.

It is imperative that this is carried out at the

intervals specified and the viscosity grade of

the oil selected must fulfil the requirements

in accordance with the manufacturer's

servicing schedule. Ask for advice at at

PEUGEOT dealer.

The level must be between the MIN and

MAX marks on the reservoir.

If you have to remove/refit the engine

style cover, handle it with care to avoid

damaging the fixing clips.

If fluid has to be added frequently, this

indicates a failure which must be checked by

a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

Remove the dipstick before filling.

Oil level

Check the level after filling (never exceed

the maximum mark).

Check the level regularly and top up

between changes. The maximum

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

Screw the cap back onto the sump before

closing the bonnet.

Checking by means of the warning

lamps on the instrument panel is

described in chapter 2, refer to the

"Instruments and controls" section.

Dipstick

Viscosity selection

There are two marks on

the dipstick:

In all cases, the oil selected must meet

the manufacturer's requirements.

A = maximum

If you fill past this mark,

contact a PEUGEOT

dealer.

B = minimum

Never allow the level to fall

below this mark.

Levels

Cooling system

Power steering fluid level

Used oil

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 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

integrated with the 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 dedicated to this use at

PEUGEOT dealerships (France) or to an

authorised waste disposal site.

Windscreen wash and headlamp

wash level

For best quality cleaning and to prevent

freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or

replaced with plain water.

Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn 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.

Capacity of the reservoir: approximately

5.5 litres.

If fluid has to be added frequently, this

indicates a failure which must be checked by

a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

Topping up

The level must be between the MIN and

MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If

more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top

up the level, have the system checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Checks

Air filter and passenger

compartment filter

Parking brake

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.

A clogged 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 servicing booklet.

Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer.

Oil filter

Depending on the environment (dusty

atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle

(urban driving...), change them twice as

often if necessary, refer to the "Under the

bonnet" section of chapter 7.

Change the filter regularly, in accordance

with the servicing schedule.

CHECKS

Manual gearbox

Bleeding the water contained in

the Diesel filter

Have the level checked in accordance with

the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

Brake pads

If this warning lamp comes on,

bleed the filter, otherwise bleed

regularly each time the engine oil

is changed.

To check the main levels and certain

components, in accordance with the

manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to

the pages of the servicing booklet which

correspond to your vehicle's engine.

Brake pad wear depends on the style of

driving, in particular for vehicles which are

used in town, over short distances. It may

be necessary to check the thickness of the

pads, even between services.

To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed

screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located

at the base of the filter. Leave open until

all of the water has been drained out. Then

tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.

Only use products recommended by

PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality

and specification.

Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop

in the brake fluid level indicates that the

brake pads are worn.

In order to optimise the operation of units as

important as the braking system, PEUGEOT

selects and offers specific products.

HDi engines use advanced technology. All

work requires a special qualification which is

guaranteed by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Brake disc/drum wear status

For any information relating to checking

the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.

In order to avoid damaging the electrical

units, high pressure washing to clean the

engine compartment is strictly prohibited.

Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
