Levels  
To maintain the reliability of engines and  
emission control systems, the use of  
additives in engine oil is prohibited.  
LEVELS  
Changing the brake fluid  
These regular maintenance operations  
The brake fluid must be changed at  
the intervals stated, according to the  
manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
will keep your vehicle in good running  
order. Ask for advice at a PEUGEOT dealer  
or consult the servicing booklet enclosed in  
the handbook pack.  
Oil change  
Use fluids recommended by the  
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.  
It is imperative that this is carried out at the  
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of  
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements  
in accordance with the manufacturer's  
servicing schedule. Ask for advice at at  
PEUGEOT dealer.  
The level must be between the MIN and  
MAX marks on the reservoir.  
If you have to remove/refit the engine  
style cover, handle it with care to avoid  
damaging the fixing clips.  
If fluid has to be added frequently, this  
indicates a failure which must be checked by  
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.  
Remove the dipstick before filling.  
Oil level  
Check the level after filling (never exceed  
the maximum mark).  
Check the level regularly and top up  
between changes. The maximum  
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles  
(1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle  
level, engine cold, using the dipstick.  
Warning lamps  
Screw the cap back onto the sump before  
closing the bonnet.  
Checking by means of the warning  
lamps on the instrument panel is  
described in chapter 2, refer to the  
"Instruments and controls" section.  
Dipstick  
Viscosity selection  
There are two marks on  
the dipstick:  
In all cases, the oil selected must meet  
the manufacturer's requirements.  
A = maximum  
If you fill past this mark,  
contact a PEUGEOT  
dealer.  
B = minimum  
Never allow the level to fall  
below this mark.  
Levels  
Cooling system  
Power steering fluid level  
Used oil  
Only use the fluid recommended by the  
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously  
damaging your engine. When the engine  
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is  
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can  
operate 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.  
The vehicle must be parked on level ground  
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap  
integrated with the gauge and check the  
level which must be between the MIN and  
MAX marks.  
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the  
skin.  
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very  
corrosive.  
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or  
coolant into drains or into the ground but  
into the containers dedicated to this use at  
PEUGEOT dealerships (France) or to an  
authorised waste disposal site.  
Windscreen wash and headlamp  
wash level  
For best quality cleaning and to prevent  
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or  
replaced with plain water.  
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release  
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.  
When the pressure has dropped, remove the  
cap and top up the level with coolant.  
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately  
5.5 litres.  
If fluid has to be added frequently, this  
indicates a failure which must be checked by  
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.  
Topping up  
The level must be between the MIN and  
MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If  
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top  
up the level, have the system checked by a  
PEUGEOT dealer.
