CHECKING THE LEVELS 1. Air filter
The air filter element must be changed at the recommendedintervals. If you drive in a dustyatmosphere, change it twice asoften. Follow the recommendations given in the maintenance schedule. 2. Brake fluid
The level must always be above the
DANGER mark on the reservoir. Inthe event of a signiÞcant drop in theßuid level, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer immediately. Use fluids
approved by the manufacturer,which conform to DOT 3 or DOT 4standards. 3. Battery
At the beginning of winter, have the battery checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. In summer (30¡C and above) or if the battery is in heavy use, checkthe level of electrolyte; it must coverthe separator plates at all times. If
necessary, top up with distilled
water. 4. Power steering* When the engine is cold, the level must always be above the MINmark, close to the MAX mark. 5. Dipstick Check the oil level on ßat ground, with the engine cold and preferably
before the Þrst journey of the day. Never exceed the maximum level.
Check the level regularly.
6. T
opping up with oil
Y our oil must be changed in accor-
dance with the maintenance sche- dule. The oil must be topped up between oil changes. Regularly check and top-up the oil level. Maximum oil consumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles (1000 km). 7. Coolant Engine cold: the coolant level must be between the min and max marksin the expansion chamber with the
cap removed. To close, turn the capto the second notch*. Cooling circuit Always use the coolant which is approved by the manufacturer
(PROCOR TM108 / GLYSANTING33 or REVKOGEL 2000). If this isnot possible, top up with distilledwater and have the protection level
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. When the engine is hot, the coolant temperature is regulated by the fan.As the fan can operate with theignition key removed, and as thecooling circuit is pressurised,
do
not carry out any work for atleast an hour after switching offthe engine .
Note: the coolant does not need tobe renewed.
8. Front/rear screen and headlamp wash reservoir*
For optimum cleaning quality and
for your safety, it is best to use cleaning products approved byPEUGEOT (capacity 4.5 litreswithout headlamp wash, 5.5 litreswith headlamp wash). * According to speciÞcation

Battery
To charge the battery with a battery
charger: Ð Disconnect the battery starting with the negative ( Ð) terminal.
Ð
Follow the instructions for usegiven by the charger manufactu-
rer.
Ð Re-connect starting with thepositive (+) terminal.
Ð Check that the terminals andposts are clean. If they arecovered with sulphation (a whiteor green deposit), undo them andclean them. To
start and charge the battery
from another battery: Make sure that the connections are correct: - Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of both bat-teries.
- Connect one end of the green orblack cable to the negative ( Ð
)
terminal of the auxiliary battery.
- Connect the other end of thegreen or black cable to an earthpoint on the broken down vehicleas far as possible from the
battery.
Operate the starter and allow theengine to run. W ait for the engine to return to idle,
then disconnect the cables. It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is to be outof use for more than one month.
Ð Do not disconnect the terminals while theengine is running.
Ð Do not recharge batterieswithout Þrst disconnecting theterminals.
Ð
A permanent electrical supplyis necessary for operation ofthe electronic systems. If thebattery is disconnected, switchon the ignition and wait
10 seconds before starting.
However, if minor disturbancesoccur following disconnection
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
