Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Brake fluid level
Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Power steering reservoir
Remove the style trim* (see §
“Changing a bulb - Front lights”).
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
Use fluids recommended by
the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
Check the level with the ve-
hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick.
Cooling system
Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Dipstick
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. This fan can oper-
ate with the ignition off.
In the case of vehicles fitted with
a particle emission filter, the fan
can operate after the vehicle has
stopped, even when the engine is
cold
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fill past this mark.
B = minimum
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
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.
Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, this indicates a low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer’s requirements.
The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.
* According to engine.
