CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Brake fluid level:
Used oil
The brake luid must be changed ac-
cording to the manufacturer's servic-
ing schedule.
Use luids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulil DOT4
standards.
Note: brake luid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake luid
or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.
F Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.
Power steering reservoir
F Open the reservoir, with the
engine at ambient temperature.
The level should always be
above the MIN. mark and close
to the MAX. mark.
Dipstick
Cooling system
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never ill past this mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Use the luid 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.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products recommended by PEUGEOT.
For optimum cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this luid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
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.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
For vehicles equipped with a
particle ilter, the engine fan may
operate after the ignition has been
switched off, even when the en-
gine is cold.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Empty
the used oil into the containers intend-
ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT
network.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
