MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 306

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 selectionIn 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 reservoir.
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 tempe- rature of the coolant is controlled bythe engine fan: because this fan canoperate with the ignition key removed,and because the cooling system ispressurised, wait for at least one hourafter the engine has stopped beforecarrying out any work.
If necessary, in a breakdown, slacken the cap to the first notch to release thepressure to prevent any risk of scal-ding. When the pressure has droppedremove the cap and top up the level.
Item C: Dipstick guide.
