Practical information

Fitting roof bars

As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars.

Fitting on longitudinal bars

Fitting directly to the roof

Sunroof
Check that the load does not pass below
the roof bars so that it does not impede
the movements of the sunroof.

The transverse bars must be fixed at the
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.

You must only attach the transverse bars to
the four fixing points located in the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle
doors when the doors are closed.
You must attach the transverse bars only at the
four anchorage points located at the edge of
the roof.

Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Lash the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and the stability of the vehicle may be
affected.
On a long journey, check the security of
the load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.

Maximum load distributed across the
transverse roof bars, for a load height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle
carrier): 80 kg.
For more information, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the vehicle's anchorage points.
For transporting objects which are longer
than the vehicle, refer to local legislation.

Practical information

Bonnet

Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.

The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents opening of the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is shut.

When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the stay with
care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.

The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.

Opening

F Open the left-hand front door.

F Pull the release lever, located at the bottom

of the door aperture, towards you.

F Lift the safety catch and raise the bonnet.

F Unclip the stay from its housing and place it

in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.

Closing

F  Take the stay out of the support notch.
F  Clip the stay in its housing.
F  Lower the bonnet and release it near the

end of its travel.

F Pull on the bonnet to check that it is fully

latched.

Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.

258

Practical information

Checking levels

Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. 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.

Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).

Used products

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop and dispose
of it in the containers reserved for this
purpose.

Engine oil level

The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.

To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level surface
with the engine stopped for more than
30 minutes.

It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).

Checking using the dipstick

The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and

pull it out completely.

F Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean

non-fluffy cloth.

F Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then

pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between marks A and B.

A = MAX

B = MIN

If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not start the engine.
- If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of

damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

- If the level is below the MIN mark, you must

top up the engine oil.

Oil grade

Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

259

Practical information

Topping up the engine oil level

The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F Unscrew the oil filler cap to access the filler

opening.

F Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any

spills on engine components (risk of fire).

F Wait a few minutes before checking the

level again using the dipstick.

F Add more oil if necessary.
F After checking the level, carefully refit the oil

filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.

After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not
valid during the 30 minutes after topping
up.

Engine oil change

Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.

Brake fluid level

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

Changing the coolant

Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.

Fluid specification

This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

Coolant level

Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.

The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MAX"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.

When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
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 the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.

The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.

Fluid specification

This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

Screenwash fluid level

Top up to the required level when
necessary.

260

Practical information

The screenwash fluid must be topped up with a
ready for use mix.
In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid
with antifreeze must be used that is appropriate
for the prevailing conditions, in order to
preserve the elements of the system (pump,
tank, ducts, etc.).
Filling with pure water is prohibited under all
circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone
deposits, etc.).

Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)

The additive reservoir low level is
indicated by fixed illumination of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message that
the particle filter additive level is
too low.

Topping up

The reservoir must be topped up without delay
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

AdBlue level

An alert is triggered once the reserve level is
reached.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised as per
regulations, you must top up with AdBlue.
For more information on AdBlue

and the SCR

system, and in particular topping it up, refer to
the corresponding section.

Fluid specification

Checks

Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

12 V battery

The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(versions without quick release
terminals) and that the connections
are clean.

For more information and the precautions to
take before starting work on the 12 V battery,
refer to the corresponding section.

Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

261

Practical information

Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule 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.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.

Oil filter

Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.

Particle filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message about
the risk of the filter clogging up.

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
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.

On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is perfectly normal.
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.

Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service
schedule for the checking interval
for this component.

Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer’s service
schedule for the checking interval
for this component.

Brake pads

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

262

Practical information

Brake disc wear

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact 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 on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the corresponding
section.

Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units
as important as those in the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very
specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.

AdBlue

(BlueHDi

engines)

To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the new Euro 6 standard,
without adversely affecting the performance or
fuel consumption of Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a particle filter (DPF)
for the treatment of exhaust gases.

SCR system

Using a liquid called AdBlue

that contains

urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.

The AdBlue

is contained in a special tank with

a capacity of around 17 litres. An alert system
is triggered automatically once the reserve
level is reached: you can then drive for a further
1,500 miles (2,400 km) before the tank is
emptied completely.

263

Practical information

Once the AdBlue

tank is empty, a system

required by regulations prevents starting
of the engine.
If the SCR system is defective, the level of
emissions from your vehicle will no longer
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the
SCR system, you must go to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible: after a running distance of
685 miles (1,100 km), a system will be
triggered automatically to prevent engine
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you
the distance you can travel before the
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the warning
lamps and the associated alerts, refer to
the corresponding section.

Freezing of the AdBlue

AdBlue

freezes at temperatures below

around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue

tank, allowing you to continue

driving in all weather conditions.

Topping up with AdBlue

Before topping up, please read the
following warnings carefully.

Precautions for use

AdBlue

is a urea-based solution. This liquid

is non-flammable, colourless and odourless
(store in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In
the event of contact with the eyes, immediately
rinse the eyes with large amounts of water
or with an eye wash solution for at least
15 minutes. If a burning sensation or irritation
persists, get medical attention.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high exterior temperature,
for example), the risk of releasing ammonia
cannot be discounted: do not inhale the fluid.
Ammonia vapour has an irritant effect on
mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat).

Keep AdBlue

out of the reach of children,

in its original container or bottle.
Never transfer AdBlue

to another

container: it would lose its purity.

Never dilute AdBlue

with water.

Never pour AdBlue

into the Diesel fuel

tank.

Containers are available from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Use only AdBlue

liquid that meets the

ISO 22241 standard.

264

Practical information

Never top up from an AdBlue

dispenser

reserved for heavy goods vehicles.

Recommendations on storage

AdBlue

freezes below around -11°C and

deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles or containers be stored in a cool
place and protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.

Never store containers or bottles of
AdBlue

in your vehicle.

Do not dispose of AdBlue

bottles or

containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container provided
for this purpose or take them to your
dealer.

Procedure

In cold weather, before performing the top-up
ensure that the temperature of the vehicle is
above -11°C. Otherwise the AdBlue

may be

frozen and so cannot be poured into its tank.
Park your vehicle in a warmer area for a few
hours to allow the top-up to be carried out.

F Before topping up, ensure that the vehicle is

parked on a flat and level surface.

F Switch off the ignition to stop the engine

and remove the key from the switch.

or
F With Keyless Entry and Starting, press the

"START/STOP" button to stop the engine.

F With the vehicle unlocked, open the fuel

filler flap; the blue filler cap for the AdBlue

tank is located to the left of the black fuel
filler cap.

F Turn the blue cap 1/6

of a turn anti-

clockwise.

F Remove the blue cap downwards.

265

Practical information

Important
Never pour AdBlue

into the Diesel fuel

tank.
To prevent causing the AdBlue tank to
overflow, it is recommended that you top it
up with between 10 and 13 litres.
If your vehicle's AdBlue tank is completely
empty – which is confirmed by the alert
messages and the impossibility of starting
the engine – you must add at least 4 litres.

If any AdBlue

is splashed, or if there are

any spillages on the side of the body, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off
using a sponge and hot water.

F Refit the blue cap to the tank filler and turn it

1/6

of a turn clockwise, to its stop.

F Close the fuel filler flap.

F Obtain a AdBlue

container or bottle. After

first checking the use-by date, read the
instructions on the label carefully before
pouring the contents of the container or
bottle into your vehicle's AdBlue tank.
