Cooling system
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.
For access to the reservoir filler cap, remove
the protective cover by turning its three
fixing screws a quarter turn, then remove the
second cover fitted to the cap.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres.
For access to the reservoir filler cap, pull on
the telescopic filler pipe and unclip the cap.
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an alcohol or
methanol based fluid is recommended.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible.
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature 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 by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
For access to the header tank filler cap,
remove the protective cover by turning its
three fixing screws a quarter turn.
