CHECKING THE LEVELS
Engine
Checking the oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. Maximum
consumption is 0.5 litres per
600 miles (1 000 km).
The oil level should be checked with
the vehicle level and the engine cold.
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
B = minimum
Oil change: according to the manu-
facturer's servicing schedule.
- Dipstick. Never fill past the maxi-
mum mark A .
- Oil level gauge on the instrument
panel.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406
34
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly according
to the servicing schedule.
Used oil
Prevent used oil from coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil into drains
or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the
use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Brakes and clutch
Checking the brake and clutch
fluid level:
- The level should always be above
the DANGER mark on the reser-
voir.
- If the level drops substantially,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change
- must be carried out according to
the manufacturer's servicing sche-
dule.
- use fluids approved by the manu-
facturer, which fulfil DOT 4 stan-
dards.
Cooling system
Use the fluid approved by the manu-
facturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. Because 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.
In the event of a breakdown and to
avoid any risk of burns, slacken the
cap to the first notch to release the
pressure. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
