Checks

If your vehicle is fitted with an HDI engine, the
fuel system must be primed if you run out of
fuel; refer to the engine compartment view on
the "Diesel engine" page.

Running out of fuel (Diesel)

If the engine does not start first time,
don't keep trying.
Operate the priming pump again, then
the starter motor.

 Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of

diesel.

 Open the bonnet.
 If necessary, unclip the styling cover for

access to the priming pump.

 Squeeze and release the priming pump

repeatedly until resistance is felt (there may
be resistance at the first press).

 Operate the starter until the engine starts

(if the engine does not start at the first
attempt, wait around 15 seconds before
trying again).

 If the engine does not start after a few

attempts, operate the priming pump again
then start the engine.

 Clip the styling cover back in place.
 Close the bonnet.

1.6 litre Turbo HDI engine

Checks

Checking levels

Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

When working under the bonnet, take
care, as certain areas of the engine
may be extremely hot (risk of burns).

Oil level

The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.

This manual check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine has
been off for more than 30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel will only be
valid 30 minutes after topping up.

Engine oil change

Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.

Oil speciﬁ cation

The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MAX" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

Brake fluid level

Changing the ﬂ uid

Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record
for details of the interval for this operation.

Fluid speciﬁ cation

The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and meet the
DOT4 standard.

Power steering fluid level

The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MAX" mark. Unscrew
the cap, with the engine cold, to
check the level.

214

Checks

The coolant level should be close
to the "MAX" mark but should never
exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the

temperature of the coolant is regulated by the
fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a particle
emission filter, the fan may operate after
the vehicle has been switched off, even if
the engine is cold.

In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.

Changing the coolant

The coolant does not have to be changed.

Fluid speciﬁ cation

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Fluid speciﬁ cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up with or
replaced with plain water.

Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid

In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, the low fluid level
is indicated by an audible signal and
a message in the instrument panel
screen.

Top up the reservoir when you stop the vehicle.

216

Checks

Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with the Warranty and Maintenance Record and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Battery

The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.

When carrying out work on the battery, refer to
the "Practical information" section for details of
the precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.

Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement intervals for these
components.

Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving),  replace them twice as often if
necessary  (refer to the "Engines" section).
A dirty passenger compartment filter may have
an adverse effect on the performance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.

Oil filter

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, for which the
involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop is required when replacing
or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
shorten the life of the battery.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Display of this warning lamp or a specific
message, together with the service warning lamp,
indicates the start of saturation of the particle
filter or low level in the Diesel additive reservoir.

As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the service warning lamp goes off.
If the service warning lamp stays on,
this indicates a low additive level. Have
the additive reservoir topped up and
the particle emission filter serviced
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or
the environment.

217

Checks

Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for the details
of the level checking interval for this
component.

6-speed electronic gear
control 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.

Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details of
the level checking interval for this
component.

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 system, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.

Brake pads

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Brake disc wear

Manual parking brake

If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between
two services.

Checking this system must be done by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Electric parking brake

This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

For more information, see "Driving - Electric
parking brake - § Operating faults".

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
very specific products.
To avoid damaging the electrical units,
the use of a high pressure washer
in the engine compartment is strictly
prohibited .
