Used products  
Avoid prolonged contact of used fluids  
with the skin.  
Most of these fluids are harmful to  
health and some are very corrosive.  
The coolant level should be between  
the MIN "L" and MAX "F" marks.  
Do not discard used fluids into sewers  
or onto the ground.  
Take used fluids to a PEUGEOT dealer  
or a qualified workshop (France) or to  
an authorised waste disposal site.  
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at  
least one hour after switching off the motor  
and/or the end of the charging cycle before  
carrying out any work.  
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap  
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.  
When the pressure has dropped, remove the  
cap and top up the level.  
Remove the battery protective cover to check  
this level.  
For more information on the 12 V battery, refer  
to the corresponding section.  
The level of this fluid should be between the

If necessary, top up using distilled water by  
removing the caps of the different battery  
compartments.
