CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Changing the brake fluid
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.
The brake fluid must be
changed at the intervals stat-
ed, according to the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule.
Check the level with the ve-
hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick.
When the level is low, this is indicated
by an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction display.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
Cooling system
Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan.As this fan can ope-
rate 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.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
Lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, indicates that the die-
sel additive level is low.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fill past this mark.
B = minimum
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fluid or coolant into

Oil change

above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.
