Viscosity selection

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.

On vehicles itted with a particle

emission ilter, the fan may operate

after the engine has been switched

off, even when the engine is cold.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

Oil level

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

dipstick.

In all cases, the oil selected must

meet the manufacturer's require-

ments.

Brake luid change:

- must be carried out according to the

manufacturer's servicing 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.

Used oil

Do not dispose of used oil, brake

luid or coolant into drains or onto

the ground.

Dipstick

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.

Cooling system

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 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.

Power steering reservoir

Open the reservoir, with the engine

at ambient temperature. The level

should always be above the MIN.

mark and close to the MAX. mark.

Windscreen and headlamp*

wash level

For best quality cleaning and for

your safety, we would advise that

you use products recommended by

PEUGEOT.

Oil change

According to the information given in

the servicing booklet.

Note: avoid used oil coming into

prolonged contact with the skin.

Empty the used oil into the contain-

ers intended for this purpose in the

PEUGEOT network.

* According to country.
