CHECKING LEVELS Engine Oil level check Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes
(the
maximum consumption is 0,5 litre per1,000 km). The check must be carried out with the vehicle level and the engine cold.
There are two levelmarks on the dipstick: A= maximum.
B = minimum. Viscosity grade selectionThe oil selected must always meet the
manufacturerÕs 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 isprohibited. Brake fluid reservoir
Ð The level must always be above the
DANGER mark on the tank.
Ð In the event of a significant drop in the level, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
immediately. Fluid change
Ð Always to be carried out at the inter-
vals given in the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð Use fluids approved by the manu- facturer which comply with DOT4standard.
Coolant reservoir Use a coolant approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the coolant temperature is controlled by the
engine fan. As this fan can operatewith the ignition key removed andbecause the cooling circuit is pres-surised, wait at least an hour after
switching off the engine before carry-ing 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.
Ð Dipstick: never exceed the maximum mark A.
Ð Instrument panel gauge.
