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.

LEVELS

Oil level

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.

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.

Oil change

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.

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.

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).
Refit the filler cap before closing the bonnet.

148

Levels

Bipper_en_Chap08_verifications_ed02-2014

Engine coolant level

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.

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.

Power steering fluid level

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.

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.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
3 litres.

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.

Used 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 provided for this purpose
at PeugeOt dealers (France) or at an
authorised waste disposal site.

CHECKS

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.

Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PeugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Air filter and passenger compartment
filter

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.

Brake pads

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.

Brake disc / drum wear

For all information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a PeugeOt
dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.

Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

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.

Refer to the "Checks - under the
bonnet" section.

HDi engines use advanced
technology. All work requires

specialist knowledge, which all PeugeOt
dealers have.

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).
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.

Saturation / Regeneration

If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
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).

Operating fault

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.

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.

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.

Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead. they

must be disposed of in accordance with the
law and must not, in any circumstances be
discarded with household waste.
take used batteries to an authorised waste
disposal site.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month. to do
this on models with Stop & Start:
- press the release button E to

disconnect connector F,

- disconnect connector F of check

sensor G.

the presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates

the use of a 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.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
cause premature wear of the battery.

After refitting the battery by a
PeugeOt dealer or a qualified

workshop, the Stop & Start system will
only be active after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about
8 hours).

Before charging

the charging operation must be carried out in
a ventilated area away from naked flames or
any possible sources of sparks to eliminate the
risks of explosion and fire.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before
charging it have it checked by a specialist who
will check that the internal components have
not been damaged and that the container is
not cracked, which could mean that there is a
risk of a leak of toxic and corrosive acid.

Before disconnecting

Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Close the windows and doors before
disconnecting the battery.

After reconnecting

After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If difficulties are
experienced after this, contact a PeugeOt
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the battery has been disconnected
for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:
- the display screen settings (date, time,

language, distance and temperature
units),

- the radio stations,

- the central locking.

Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed. Contact a PeugeOt dealer
or a qualified workshop.
