PRACTICAL INFORMATION143
CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level ☞ Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-mum consumption is 0.5 l per1000 km. Check the level with the vehicle level, engine cold, using the dips-tick.
Dipstick
There are two marks onthe dipstick: A= maximum.
Never fill past this mark.B = minimum.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission control systems, the useof additives in engine oilis prohibited.
Oil change According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
W ARNING: avoid used oil from
coming into prolonged contact withthe skin.
V iscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments. Brake fluid level: - the level must always be between the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
- if the level drops substantially,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change: - must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing sche-dule.
- use fluids approved by the manu-
facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan-dards.
W ARNING: brake fluid is harmful to
health and very corrosive. Avoid allcontact with the skin. 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. As this fan canoperate with the ignition key remo-ved and because the cooling systemis pressurised, wait for at least onehour after the engine has stoppedbefore carrying out any work. Slacken the cap to the first notch torelease the pressure to prevent anyrisk of scalding. When the pressurehas dropped, remove the cap andtop 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 into theground. Power steering reservoir ☞ Open the reservoir, with the engi-
ne at ambient temperature. Thelevel should always be above theMIN. mark and close to the MAX.mark.
W indscreen and headlamp
wash reservoir For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you useproducts approved by PEUGEOT(7.5 litres with headlamp wash).

regularly. If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice asoften. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular forvehicles which are used in town,over short distances. It may benecessary to check the thickness ofthe pads, even between services. Handbrake Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in theperformance of the system, thehandbrake should be adjusted, evenbetween services. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Automatic gearbox This does not need an oil change. Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accor- dance with the servicing schedule.
