CHECKING LEVELS Engine Oil level check Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes
(the
maximum consumption is 0,5 litre per1,000 km). The check must be carried out with the vehicle level and the engine cold.
There are two levelmarks on the dipstick: A= maximum.
B = minimum. Viscosity grade selectionThe oil selected must always meet the
manufacturerÕs 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 on 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 inter-
vals given in the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð Use fluids approved by the manu- facturer which comply with DOT4standard.
Coolant reservoir Use a coolant approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the coolant temperature is controlled by the
engine fan. As this fan can operatewith the ignition key removed andbecause the cooling circuit is pres-surised, wait at least an hour after
switching off the engine before carry-ing out any work. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, unscrew thecap two turns to let the pressure drop.When the pressure has dropped,remove the cap and top up the level.
Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð Dipstick: never exceed the maximum 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.
Windscreen and headlamp wash reservoir 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). Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Air filter Regular replacement of the filter ele- ment is essential. If you drive in verydusty conditions, change it twice asoften. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehiclesused in town, for short journeys. It maybe necessary to check the thicknessof the pads even between services. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level according to the man-ufacturer's servicing schedule. Autoadaptive automatic gearbox This does not need an oil change: have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule.Only use products
approved by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor- mance from components
as important as the power steer-ing and the braking system,PEUGEOT selects and offersquite specific products.

secured by a strap to the right-handside of the boot. Using a repair aerosol (See also the instructions on the aerosols).
If possible remove the foreign body which caused the puncture.
Position the wheel so that the valveis at the 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock posi-tion.
Shake the aerosol vigorously
before use. (In very cold weather,warm the aerosol for a few minutesin your hands).
In one hand hold the valve.
With the other, firmly push thespray end of the aerosol onto thevalve, keeping it centralised.
Maintain the pressure firmly for oneminute, then immediately drive at
moderate speed to the nearest
garage. Aersosols enable a tempo-rary repair to be carried out(maximum speed 50 mph(80 km/h)).
After use, it is necessary to repairthe tyre. Because the aerosols are pres- surised, they must not be exposed
to a temperature higher than 50 ¡C. Keep them away from heat in their insulated storage box.
