Checking levels Engine oil Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes
; the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litre per600 miles (1000 km). The check must be carried out with the vehicle level and the engine cold.
There are two levelmarks on the dips-tick: A= maxi.
B = mini. Viscosity grade selectionThe 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 isprohibited. 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 dea-
ler 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 fan.This may operate with the ignition key
removed. Therefore, as the coolingcircuit is pressurised, wait at least an
hour after switching off the enginebefore carrying out any work. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, unscrew thecap 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.

Loosen the wheel bolts (for vehicles fitted with alloy wheels, remove the chrome wheel bolts first; see ÔFeatures of alloy wheelsÕ, following page).
Position the jack 3at one of the four locations Aunderneath the vehicle, as
close as possible to the wheel to be changed. Ensure that the entire surface ofthe jack base plate is in contact with the ground.
Extend the jack 3.
Remove the bolts and release the wheel.
* According to specification.

Refitting the wheel
After positioning the wheel, pre-tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace 1.
Compress the jack 3and release it.
Fully tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace 1.
Replace the wheel trim*, starting at the valve passage hole, and press on it using the palm of the hand.
Replace the shim and the jack in their bag, then store the tools in the boot.For your safety, always change the wheel:
- on level, stable and non-slippery ground,
- with the handbrake applied and the ignition switched off,
- with the first or reverse gear engaged (position Pfor the auto-
matic gearbox),
- with the vehicle chocked using a shim.
