CHECKING LEVELS
Engine
Oil level check
Carry out this check regularly and
top up between oil changes (the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litre
per 1,000 km).
The check must be carried out with
the vehicle level and the engine
cold.
There are two level
marks on the dipstick:
A = maximum.
B = minimum.
Viscosity grade selection
The oil selected must always meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Oil filter
Change the cartridge regularly in
accordance with the recommenda-
tions of the servicing schedule.
Used oil
Avoid any prolonged contact of used
oil with the skin.
Do not discard used oil down drains
or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of the
engines and emission control sys-
tems, the use of additives in the oil is
prohibited.
Brake fluid reservoir
– The level must always be above
the DANGER mark on the tank.
– In the event of a significant drop in
the level, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer immediately
Fluid change
– Always to be carried out at the
intervals given in the manufactur-
er's servicing schedule.
– Use fluids approved by the manu-
facturer which comply with DOT4
standard.
Coolant reservoir
Use a coolant approved by the man-
ufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the
coolant temperature is controlled by
the engine fan. As this fan can oper-
ate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling circuit is
pressurised, wait at least an hour
after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
In the event of a breakdown and to
avoid any risk of burns, unscrew the
cap two turns to let the pressure
drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
– Dipstick: never exceed the maxi-
mum mark A.
– Instrument panel gauge.
