PRACTICAL INFORMATION

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
☞ Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-
mum 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.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A=maximum
Never fill past this mark.
B=minimum
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
"PEUGEOT SERVICING".
Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Brake fluid level:
– The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM marks
in the reservoir.
– If the level drops substantially,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
immediately.
Fluid change:
– must be carried out according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
– use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
Note: brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Cooling system
Use the fluid 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
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.
Slacken the cap to the first notch to
release 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.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fluid or coolant into drains or into the
ground.
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.
* According to destination.
