2002.5 PEUGEOT 807 coolant

PRACTICAL INFORMATION139
CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level 
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes (maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1000 km).
Checking is carried out with the
vehicle level, engine cold, using
the oil level gauge on the check
module or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A= maximum
Never fill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliabil
ity of engines and
emission control sys
tems, the use of addi
tives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING".
NOTE: Prevent used oil from coming
into prolonged contact with the skin. Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require
ments.
Brake and clutch fluid level:
The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
If the level drops substantially, con tact a PEUGEOT dealer immedi
ately.
Fluid change:
must be carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule
use fluids approved by the manu facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan
dards.
WARNING: brake and clutch fluid is
harmful to health and very corrosive.
Coolant level
Use fluid recommended by the man
ufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition off and
because the cooling system is pres
surised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work. Unscrew the cap two turns to allow
the pressure to drop to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Note:
The coolant does not need to
be changed.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fluid or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.
Power steering reservoir  Open the reservoir, with the
engine at ambient temperature.
The level should always be above
the MINI mark and 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
(reservoir capacity 4.5 litres or
6.5 litres with headlamp wash).
Measure the fluid level using the dip
stick incorporated in the reservoir
cap.
Close the air hole on the cap and
remove it, then check the level.

Engine compartment fuses
Fuse box
To access the fuse box in the engine
compartment (to the left of the
coolant reservoir):
 unclip the cover.
Carefully close the cover when
you have finished. The electrical system of
your vehicle is designed
to operate with standard
or optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your
vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dea
ler.
PEUGEOT will not accept respon
sibility for the cost incurred in
repairing your vehicle or for recti
fying the malfunctions resulting
from the installation of accesso
ries not supplied and not recom
mended by PEUGEOT and not
installed in accordance with its
instructions, in particular where
the equipment in question
consumes more than 10 milliam
peres.
* The maxifuses provide additio
nal protection for the electrical
systems. All work must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOT tow
bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
loads are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electronically con
trolled, its cooling capacity is not
dependent on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed, and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature. Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum
load up a steep slope in high tem
peratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows the
engine power to be recovered, and
therefore the towing speed to be sig
nificantly increased (approximately
12mph [20 km/h] more).
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon as pos
sible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures
of the towing vehicle and of the trail
er, observing the recommended
pressure.
Brakes: towing increases the brak
ing distance. Drive at a moderate
speed, change down early and brake
gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Lighting
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users (see section
on ''Manual adjustment of head
lamps''). Check the electrical sig
nalling of the trailer.
Automatic beam correction
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this
system automatically corrects the
height of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is then
assured of having optimum lighting
and not causing a nuisance to other
road users.
