CHECKING THE LEVELS
Changing the brake fluid
Windscreen wash level
The brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you
use products recommended by your
manufacturer.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Cooling system
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Dipstick
Only use the fluid recom-
mended by the manufac-
turer.
There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to
fall below this mark.
Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine.
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fluid or coolant into
drains or into the ground.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate 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.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this purpose
in the PEUGEOT network.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a
turn to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
