PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor
mance from components as
important as the power steering
and the braking system,
PEUGEOT selects and offers
quite specific products.
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir with the engine
cold. The level should always be
above the MINI mark, close to the
MAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash reservoir
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use

journeys. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads even
between services.

Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Manual gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Check the level according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Automatic autoadaptive
gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer according to the
