CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator
in the instrument panel for ve-
hicles with and electric oil level gauge,
or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level
between two services (or oil chang-
es). PEUGEOT recommends that
you check the level, and top up
if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kms).
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the en-
gine may be extremely hot (risk of
burns) and the cooling fan could
start at any time (even with the ig-
nition off).
A = MAX
To ensure that the reading is correct,
your vehicle must be parked on a level
surface and the engine having been off
for more than 30 minutes.
Check all of these levels regularly, in
line with the warranty and maintenance
record. Top them up if necessary, un-
less otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel
engine" section for the location of the
dipstick in the engine compartment of
your vehicle.
Take the dipstick by its coloured grip
and remove it completely.
Wipe the end of the dipstick using a
clean non-fl uffy cloth.
Refi t the dipstick and push fully
down, then pull it out again to make
the visual check: the correct level is
between the marks A and B .
B = MIN
If you fi nd that the level is above the A
mark or below the B mark, do not start
the engine .
- If the level is above the MAX mark
(risk of damage to the engine), con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
- If the level is below the MIN mark,
you must top up the engine oil.
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing
the oil, check that the oil is the correct
grade for your engine and conforms to
the manufacturer's recommendations.
