Checks
Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. 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).
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
The brake fluid level should be close
Engine oil change
to the "MAX" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, the use of
additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record
for details of the interval for this operation.
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 kms).
Oil specification
The oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

After topping up the oil, the check when
