LEVELS

Oil change

This must be carried out at

the intervals specified in the

manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask
for advice from a PEUGEOT dealer.
Remove the dipstick before filling.

Check the level after filling (never

exceed the max mark).
Refit the oil filler cap before closing the

bonnet.

Changing the brake fluid

The brake fluid must be changed at

the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the

manufacturer, which meet 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.

Warning lamps

If you have to remove / refit the

engine style cover, handle it with

care to avoid damaging the fixing clips.

Oil level

It is recommended that the oil level be

checked every 3 000 miles (5 000 km)

and topped up if necessary between oil
changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.

Dipstick

Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must

meet the requirements specified in the

manufacturer's service schedule.

These regular maintenance
operations will keep your vehicle
in good working order. Ask for

advice from a PEUGEOT dealer or
refer to the warranty and maintenance
record in the handbook pack.

Checks using the warning lamps in
the instrument panel is described
in chapter 3, "Instruments and
controls" section.

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

Partner-2-VU_en_Chap07_Verification_ed02-2016

Levels

Cooling system

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.
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.
If fluid has to be added frequently,

this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible.

Power steering fluid level

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.

In order to regenerate the filter, you

are advised to drive at a speed higher

than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five

minutes as soon as possible, when

traffic conditions permit (until the

message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle

emission filter, the noise of a relay

operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

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 or a qualified workshop.

Screenwash level

For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the PEUGEOT range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid

freezing, this fluid must not be topped

up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.

Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)

Topping up
This additive must be topped up by

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop without delay.

Waste products

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 a PEUGEOT dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.

The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of

saturation of the particle filter

(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long

traffic jams, ...).

Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter

An access flap allows replacement of

the filters.

The carbon filter permits continuous

and effective filtering of dust.

If the passenger compartment filter

becomes blocked, this may reduce the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined

passenger compartment filter. By

means of its second special active

filter, it contributes to the purification

of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).

Battery

At the start of summer or winter, have
your battery checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Brake pads

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.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a

drop in the brake fluid level indicates

that the brake pads are worn.

Brake disc / drum wear

For information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

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.
Have the system checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Refer to theservicing and warranty
booklet for the replacement interval for
these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.

Checks

Good practice

Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter

Manual gearbox

Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly advise
you not to use high pressure
washing to clean the engine

compartment.

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.

If this warning lamp comes

on, bleed the filter. Otherwise

bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.

To drain the water, unscrew the bleed

screw located on the filter.
Operate until all of the water no longer

flows in the transparent pipe, then

tighten the bleed screw.

Particle filter (Diesel)

Maintenance of the particle filter must

be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.

Oil filter

Change the filter regularly in

accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.

HDi engines use advanced
technology. All work requires
special training, so should be
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer.

Depending on country of sale.

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.

Fuel

REFUELLING

Low fuel level

Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the

engine off.
- Open the fuel filler flap.
-

Insert the key, then turn it a quarter
turn.

-

Remove the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the

flap.

When filling with fuel, with the fuel

filler flap open, ensure that no one

attempts to open the sliding side
door.

When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes on.

You then have approximately 8 litres
of fuel remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running
out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control and injection systems.

A label affixed to the inside of the flap

reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel

for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel filler cap is opened,

there may be a slight inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal and is due to
the sealing of the fuel system.
When filling the fuel tank, do not

continue after the 3

rd

cut-off of the

nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is

approximately 60 litres (or 55 litres

according to version).
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the

cap and close the flap.

AdBlue

®

BLUEHDI AND ADBLUE

®

SCR technology

AdBlue

®

is the brand name of the

solution needed for operation of the
SCR system.

BlueHDi vehicles have a specific

AdBlue

®

additive tank with a capacity

of 17 litres.
It has an exterior filler with a

blue filler

cap, located to the left of the Diesel

fuel filler cap.
Filling of the AdBlue

®

tank can be

done using 5 or 10 litre containers,

1.89 litre bottles, or when at a fuel

filling station equipped with a special

AdBlue

®

delivery pump for light

vehicles.

The aim of BlueHDi is to reduce the
emissions of NOx (nitrous oxides) in

the air by up to 90%, using a system

that converts NOx into water vapour
and nitrogen in a dedicated catalytic
converter: SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction).
This objective meets the "Euro 6"
emissions standard adopted by the
European Union aimed at limiting the
emissions of pollutants from internal
combustion engines.
The SCR technology used on BlueHDi
engines involves the injection of
AdBlue

®

into the exhaust system.

This operation can also be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Please note that the high delivery

pumps at some filling stations,

intended only for lorries and coaches,
are not suitable for cars or light
commercial vehicles.
Never use these pumps.

AdBlue

®

Good practice
While the quantity of AdBlue

®

in

the additive tank is sufficient, no

information is displayed.
On the other hand, once the fluid

level drops to the quantity needed

for a range of 1 500 miles (2 400 km)

driving, you are warned by different
temporary signals (warning lamp,
message, audible signal).
As more miles are covered, these
signals intensify and the message
becomes permanent.
When the AdBlue

®

tank is empty,

restarting becomes impossible.
It is strongly recommended that you
do not wait for the successive alerts
before topping-up the AdBlue

®

additive,

but do this as soon as possible.

Filling the AdBlue

®

tank

For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre

containers and 1.89 litre
(1/2 US gallon) bottles are available
from PEUGEOT dealers, until they are
equipped with AdBlue

®

delivery pumps.

If you want to fill the AdBlue

®

tank

yourself, ensure that you have a

suitable filler pipe, which may or may

not be supplied with the additive
container.
