When used with approved tyres in
good condition, the ABS increasesthe stability and manoeuvrability ofyour vehicle, particularly on poor orslippery road surfaces. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pres-
sure to be reached more quickly,thus reducing the stopping distance.It is triggered according to the speed
of activation of the brake pedal. The
effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency. The normal operation of the ABSmay make itself felt by slightvibrations of the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Engine Checking the oil levelCheck the level regularly and top up between changes. Maximumconsumption is 0.5 litres per 600miles (1 000 km). The oil level should be checked with the vehicle level and the engine cold.There are two marks onthe dipstick: A= maximum
B = minimum
Oil change: according to the manu-
facturer's servicing schedule.
- Dipstick. Never fill past the maxi- mum mark A.
- 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 according to the servicing schedule. Used oilPrevent used oil from coming into prolonged contact with the skin. Do not dispose of used oil into drains or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of engines and emission control systems, theuse of additives in the engine oil isprohibited.
Brakes and clutch Checking the brake and clutch fluid level:
- The level should always be above the DANGER mark on the reser-
voir.
- 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 DOT 4 stan-dards. Cooling system 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 atleast one hour after the engine hasstopped before carrying out anywork. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, slacken thecap to the first notch to release thepressure. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level.
