Peugeot Rifter 2018-2019 Owner's Manual Practical information Checks

147Practical information7and 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 ready-to-use mixture.In winter (temperatures below zero), a liquid containing an agent to prevent freezing must be used which is appropriate for the prevailing conditions, in order to protect the elements of the system (pump, tank, ducts, jets, etc.).Filling with pure water is prohibited under all circumstances (risk of freezing, limestone deposits, etc.).Diesel fuel additive (Diesel with particle filter) or On reaching the minimum level in the particle filter additive tank, this warning lamp comes on fixed, accompanied by an audible warning and a message warning that the additive level is too low.Topping upThis additive must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.AdBlue (BlueHDi)An alert is triggered when the reserve level is reached.For more information on 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 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.However, 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.
148Practical information0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the label.Under-inflation increases fuel consumption. Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road holding - risk of an accident!Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the braking and road holding performance of the vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.When the wear indicators no longer appear set back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the tyres.Using different size wheels and tyres from those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer reading and have an adverse effect on road holding.Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles can cause the ESC to mistime.AdBlue® (BlueHDi)To respect the environment and ensure compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without adversely affecting the performance or fuel consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT has taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a system that associates SCR (Selective 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)When the particle filter is approaching saturation, this warning lamp comes on temporarily, accompanied by a message warning of the risk of filter clogging.As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37mph (60km/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.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 while accelerating. This has no impact on the vehicle’s behaviour or the environment.New vehicleDuring the first few particle filter regeneration operations, you may notice a "burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.Manual gearboxThe gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).Automatic gearboxThe gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).Brake padsBrake 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.After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and defrost them.Brake disc wearFor information on checking brake disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Manual parking brakeIf you notice excessive brake lever travel or decreased effectiveness, the parking brake must be adjusted, even between two services.This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Electric parking brakeThis system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, do not hesitate to 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.Wheels and tyresThe inflation pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, must be checked on "cold” tyres.The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50km/h), add
