CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-mum consumption is 0.5 l per 600miles (1000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,engine cold, using the oil level gaugeon the instrument panel or the dips-tick.
Dipstick There are two marks on the dipstick: A= maximum
Never fill past this mark. B = minimum
To maintain the reliabi- lity of engines andemission control sys-tems, the use of addi-tives in engine oil isprohibited.
Oil change According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin. Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments. Brake fluid level:
- The level must always be bet-
ween the DANGER and MAXI-
MUM marks in the reservoir.
- If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
immediately.
Fluid change:
- must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
- use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4standards.
Note: brake fluid is harmful to heal-
th and very corrosive. Avoid allcontact with the skin. Cooling systemUse the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As thisfan can operate with the ignition keyremoved and because the coolingsystem is pressurised, wait for atleast one hour after the engine hasstopped before carrying out anywork. 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.

CHECKS Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dea-
ler. Air filter and passenger compartment filter Have the filter elements replaced
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 be necessary to check the thickness of the pads, even betweenservices. 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.Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT.
To ensure best performance fromcomponents as important as thepower steering and the brakingsystem, PEUGEOT selects andoffers quite specific products.

PUNCTURES Because this version does not pos- sess a spare wheel, you have twoaerosols for temporary tyre repairsstored in an insulated storage box
1
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 thevalve is at the 2 o'clock or 10o'clock position.
Shake the aerosol vigorously
before use. (In very cold weather,warm the aerosol for a few min-utes in 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 forone minute, then immediatelydrive at moderate speed to the
nearest garage. Aersosols enable a tem-porary repair to be car-ried out (maximum speed50 mph (80 km/h)).
After use, it is necessary toreplace the tyre. Because the aerosols are pres- surised, they must not be exposedto a temperature higher than
50 ¡C. Keep them away from heat in their insulated storage box.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Park the vehicle on level, stable
ground which is not slippery.
Apply the handbrake, engage first
gear or reverse (position Pon the
automatic gearbox) and switch offthe ignition.
Chock the rear of the wheel withshim 2diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
Tools for changing a wheel 1 - Wheelbrace fitted to the lining of the boot on the rear right side.
2 - Shim stored in the jack bag.
3 - Jack (in a bag secured by twostraps, on the right-hand side ofthe boot).
4 - Tool for removing wheel bolttrims (located on the boot rearright inner panel). Removing the wheel
Remove the wheel trim using the wheelbrace 1by pulling next to the valve.
Loosen the wheel bolts (for vehicles fitted with alloy wheels, remove the chrome wheel bolts first; see "Features of alloy wheels", following page).
Position the jack 3at one of the four locations Aunderneath the vehicle, as
close as possible to the wheel to be changed. Ensure that the entire surfaceof the jack base plate is in contact with the ground.
Extend the jack 3.
Remove the bolts and release the wheel.

Refitting the wheel
After positioning the wheel, pre-tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace 1.
Compress the jack 3and release it.
Fully tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace 1.
Replace the wheel trim, starting at the valve passage hole, and press on it using the palm of the hand.
Replace the shim and the jack in their bag, then store the tools in the boot.For your safety, always change the wheel:
- on level, stable and non-slippery ground,
- with the handbrake applied and the ignition switched off,
- with the first or reverse gear engaged (position Pfor the auto-
matic gearbox),
- with the vehicle chocked using a shim.
Never go underneath a vehiclewhich is supported only by a
jack (use an axle stand) .
After changing the wheel:
- As soon as possible contact a PEUGEOT dealer to check that the wheel bolts are tight.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF
ALLOY WHEELS Bolt covers The bolts on the alloy wheels are covered with chrome-plated trimcaps. Remove them using the yellow tool 4
before slackening the bolts. Refitting the spare wheel* If your vehicle is fitted with a steel spare wheel, when fitting the wheelit is
normal to notice that the bolt
washers do not come into contact
with the wheel. The spare wheel isheld in place by the conical supportof each bolt. Fitting snow tyres If you fit snow tyres mounted on steel rims onto your vehicle, it isessential to use special bolts avail-
able from a PEUGEOT dealer. Wheel anti-theft bolts* If your wheels are fitted with anti- theft bolts (one per wheel), thechrome-plated trim cap and then theplastic cover on the wheel must beremoved, using tool
4, before slack-
ening the bolt using one of the anti-theft sockets (handed to you alongwith the duplicate keys and the con-fidential card on delivery of yourvehicle) and the wheelbrace 1.
Note: take a careful note of the code
number engraved on the head of the
anti-theft socket. This will enableyou to obtain a duplicate anti-theft
socket from a PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to model and destination.
