CHECKING LEVELS Engine Oil level check Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes (the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litreper 1,000 km). The check must be carried out with the vehicle level and the enginecold.
There are two levelmarks on the dipstick: A= maximum.
B = minimum. 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
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
intervals given in the manufactur- er's servicing schedule.
Ð Use fluids approved by the manu- facturer which comply with DOT4standard.
Coolant reservoir Use a coolant approved by the man-
ufacturer. When the engine is warm, the coolant temperature is controlled by
the engine fan. As this fan can oper-ate with the ignition key removedand because the cooling circuit ispressurised, wait at least an hour
after switching off the engine beforecarrying out any work. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, unscrew thecap two turns to let the pressuredrop. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level.
Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð Dipstick: never exceed the maxi- mum mark A.
Ð Instrument panel gauge.

Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
cold. The level should always beabove the MINI mark, close to theMAXI mark. Manual gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Check the level according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule.
Windscreen and headlamp washreservoir
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you useproducts approved by PEUGEOT(capacity 2.8 litres or 6.6 litres withheadlamp wash).
Air filter Regular replacement of the filter ele- ment is essential. If you drive in verydusty conditions, change it twice asoften.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehi-cles used in town, for short journeys.It may be necessary to check thethickness of the pads even betweenservices. Autoadaptive automatic gearbox
This does not need an oil change:have the level checked by a PEU-
GEOT dealer according to the manu-facturer's servicing schedule.
Only use products
approved by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perform- ance from components
as important as the power steer-ing and the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offersquite specific products.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL) If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary to re-prime the circuit: 1.4 litre HDI engine
Ð fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
Ð operate the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears in the transparent pipe under the bonnet,
Ð operate the starter until the engine starts.
