Recommendations for
approved lubricants
The oils which appear in the table
opposite are suitable for most pur
poses.
The diagram opposite states the
optimum range of viscosity depen
ding on the temperatures at which
the oils are to be used.
It is also possible to use synthetic
oils of `superior quality'.
In the absence of semisynthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qua
lity (for petrol engines), or CD/CF
quality (for diesel engines) may be
used by following the 'Arduous
Conditions' servicing schedule, which
specifies shorter service intervals.
Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a Peugeot dealer to maintain
driving pleasure and to minimise the
maintenance cost of your vehicle.
For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Engine
Checking the oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. Maximum con
sumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
The oil level should be checked with
the vehicle level and the engine cold.There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A= maximum
B = minimum
Oil change: according to the manu
facturer's servicing schedule.
Dipstick. Never fill past the maxi mum mark A.
Oil level gauge on the instrument panel.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require
ments.

Oil filter
Change the filter regularly according
to the servicing schedule.
Used oil
Prevent used oil from coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil into drains
or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the
use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Brakes and clutch
Checking the brake and clutch
fluid level:
The level should always be above
the DANGER mark on the reser
voir.
If the level drops substantially, con tact a PEUGEOT dealer imme
diately.
Fluid change
must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
use fluids approved by the manu facturer, which fulfil DOT 4 stan
dards. Cooling system
Use the fluid approved by the manu
facturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. Because this fan
can operate with the ignition key
removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at
least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any
work.
In the event of a breakdown and to
avoid any risk of burns, slacken the
cap to the first notch to release the
pressure. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

Only use products
approved by Automobiles
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
products approved by PEUGEOT
(capacity 4.5 litres or 9 litres with

ment is essential. If you drive in
very dusty conditions, change it
twice as often. Brake pads

style of driving, in particular for vehi
cles that are used in town, for short
journeys. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads even
between services.
Handbrake
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
