Peugeot 3008 2016-2023 Practical information Checking levels

185Practical information7Diesel engine1.Screenwash fluid reservoir2.Engine coolant reservoir3.Brake fluid reservoir4.Battery/Fuses5.Remote earth point (-)6.Fusebox7.Air filter8.Engine oil filler cap9.Engine oil dipstickDiesel fuel systemThis system is under very high pressure.All work must be carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshopChecking levelsCheck all of the following levels regularly in accordance with the Manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if required, unless otherwise indicated.If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.The fluids must comply with the Manufacturer's requirements and with the vehicle's engine.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 productsAvoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.Most of these fluids are harmful to health and very corrosive.Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.Empty used oil into the containers reserved for this purpose at a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Engine oilThe level is checked, with the engine having been switched off for at least 30 minutes and on level ground, either using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). It is recommended that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emissions control system, never use additives in the engine oil.Checking using the dipstickFor the location of the dipstick, please refer to the illustration of the corresponding engine compartment.►Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and pull it out completely.►Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean, lint-free cloth.►Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to visually check the oil level: the correct level is between marks A(max) and B (min).Do not start the engine if the level is:–above mark A: contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
186Practical information–below mark B: top up the engine oil immediately.Oil gradeBefore topping up or changing the engine oil, check that the oil is suitable for your engine and complies with the recommendations in the service schedule supplied with the vehicle (or available from your PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop).Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate your warranty in the event of engine failure.Topping up the engine oil levelFor the location of the engine oil filler cap, please refer to the corresponding engine compartment illustration.►Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine components (risk of fire).►Wait a few minutes before checking the level again using the dipstick.►Top up the level if necessary.►After checking the level, carefully screw the oil filler cap back onand replace the dipstick in its tube.The oil level indication displayed on the instrument panel when the ignition is switched on is not valid for 30 minutes following an addition of oil. Brake fluidThe level of this fluid should be close to the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake pads for wear.To know how often the brake fluid should be replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.Clean the cap before removing it to refill. Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed container.Engine coolantIt is normal to top up this fluid between two services.The check and top-up must only be done with the engine cold.A level of coolant that is too low risks causing major damage to the engine; the coolant level must be close to the "MAX" mark without ever going above it.If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark, it is essential to top it up.When the engine is hot, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan.As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need to top up in an emergency, wrap 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.Screenwash fluidTop up to the required level when necessary.Capacity of the tank:–5.3 litres for "very cold climate" versions.–2.2 litres for other versions.Fluid specificationThe fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed product.In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid containing an anti-freeze agent which is appropriate for the temperature conditions must be used in order to protect the system's components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).Filling with pure water is prohibited in all circumstances (risk of freezing, limescale, etc.).Diesel fuel additive (Diesel with particle filter)On reaching the minimum level in the particle filter additive tank, this warning lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an audible signal and a warning message.
187Practical information7Topping upThe topping up of this additive must be carried out quickly.Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.AdBlue® (BlueHDi)An alert is triggered when the reserve level is reached.For more information on the Indicators and in particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to the corresponding section.To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in accordance with regulations, you must top up the AdBlue tank.For more information on AdBlue® (BlueHDi), and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to the corresponding section.ChecksUnless 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.Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality and specification.In order to optimise the operation of components as important as those in the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specific products.12V batteryThe battery does not require any maintenance.Check regularly that the terminals are correctly tightened (versions without quick-release terminals) and that the connections are clean.For more information on the precautions to take before any work on the 12V battery, refer to the corresponding section.Versions equipped with Stop & Start are fitted with a 12V lead-acid battery of specific technology and specification.Its replacement should be carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Passenger compartment filterDepending on the environment and the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.A clogged passenger compartment filter can adversely affect air conditioning system performance and generate undesirable odours.Air filterDepending on the environment and the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere, city driving), change it twice as often, if necessary.Oil filterChange the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.Particle filter (Diesel)The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an alert message.As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37mph (60km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500 rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the warning lamp goes out).If it is not possible to reach 37mph (60km/h), leave the engine running at idle for about 15 minutes, then drive with an engine speedabove 2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.Do not switch off the engine until the filter is fully regenerated; repeated intervals can degrade the engine oil prematurely.Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is stationary is not recommended.
