PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE

Checking levels
Engine
Oil level
Carry out this check regularly and
top up between oil changes (the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litre per
600 miles (1000 km)). The check must
be carried out with the vehicle level
and the engine cold.
There are two level
marks on the dips-
tick:
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
on 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 inter-
vals given in the manufacturer's ser-
vicing schedule.
- Use fluids approved by the manu-
facturer which comply with DOT4.
Coolant reservoir
Use a coolant approved by the manu-
facturer.
When the engine is warm, the coolant
temperature is controlled by the engi-
ne fan. As this fan can operate 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 dial gauge.
