PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals:
¥ Every 20 000 miles (30 000km) or every 2 years for petrol engines.
¥ Every 12 000 miles (20 000km) or every 2 years for direct injection diesel engines.
¥ Every 10 000 miles (15 000km) or every 2 years for indirect injection diesel engines. The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly; topping up of the oil between oil changes is normal. It is for this reason, and for your complete peace of mind, that your Peugeot dealer will carry out a levels check and top-up midway between each routine service, at the time or distance intervals specified. This will be undertaken free
of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out within the Peugeot network. At the
same time, your Peugeot dealer will offer you a Peugeot Safety Check, for a nominal fee. A Peugeot professional willcarry out a quick check and will top up the levels if necessary (oil up to 1 litre, coolant and screen wash).
If the oil level is too low, there is a risk of serious damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every 1 500 miles (2 500km), depending on the conditions of use.
The date of the intermediate visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10 000 miles (15 000km) for petrol engines and twin-fuel petrol and LPG engines, every 6 000 miles (10 000km) fordirect injection diesel engines and every 5 000 miles (7 500km) for indirect injection diesel engines. This extended servicing has been made possible by modifications to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Engine Checking the oil level Check the level regularly and top up between changes
(maximum
consumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles(1,000 km). The oil level should be checked with the vehicle level, engine cold. There are two marks on the dipstick:
A= maximum.
B = minimum. Oil change:
according to the manu-
facturerÕs servicing schedule.
Ð Dipstick. Never fill past the maximum mark A.
Ð 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 in accor- dance with the maintenance schedule. Used oil Prevent used oil from coming into pro- longed contact with the skin. Do not dispose of used oil into drains or into the ground.
To maintain the reliability of engines and emission control systems, the useof additives in the engine oil is prohi-bited. Brake fluid reservoir Checking the brake and clutch fluid level :
Ð The level should always be above
the DANGER mark on the reser-
voir.
Ð If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change
Ð must be carried out according to the manufacturerÕs schedule.
Ð use fluids approved by the manu- facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan- dards.
Coolant reservoir Use the fluid approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlledby the engine fan: because this fancan operate with the ignition keyremoved, and because the coolingsystem is pressurised, wait for at leastone hour after the engine has stoppedbefore carrying out any work.
If necessary, in a breakdown, slacken the cap to the first notch to releasethe pressure to prevent any risk ofscalding. When the pressure hasdropped remove the cap and top upthe level.
