2003 PEUGEOT 206 oil level

26-05-2003
PEUGEOT SERVICINGYour vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
¥ For petrol engines: every 20 000 miles (30 000 km) or every two years.
¥ For direct injection diesel engines: every 12 000 miles (20 000) km or every two years.
¥ For indirect injection diesel engines: every 10 000 miles (15 000 km) or every two years. 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. This is why the PEUGEOT network is offering you an intermediate service between regular services.
The date of this visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10 000 miles
(15 000 km) for saloon and 206 SW petrol engines; every 6 000 miles (10 000 km) for 206 GTi 180 direct injectiondiesel engines and every 5 000 miles (7 500 km) for indirect injection diesel engines.
A PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a quick check and top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, windscreen wash up to 2 litres). 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
2 000 to 3 000 miles (3 000 to 5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use. This extended servicing has been made possible by modifications to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO USE ONLY ENGINE LUBRICANTS THAT ARE SUITED TO YOUR ENGINE AND RECOM-
MENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER (see "Lubraicants" pages).

Handbrake, low brake fluid and ElectronicBrake Force Distributionsystem fault warning
light
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight. This indicates one of the following:
Ð that the handbrake is applied or not fully released,
Ð an excessive drop in brake fluid level (if the warning light remains on even when the handbrake isreleased).
Ð a fault in the Electronic Brake Force Distribution system, if lit at
the same time as the ABS warninglight.
You must stop.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTSAND CONTROLS
A permanently lit warning light or one flashing, with the engine run-ning, indicates an operating faultof the unit concerned. The illumi-nation of certain warning lightsmay be accompanied by an audi-ble signal and a message on the
multifunction display. Do notignore this warning: consult a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon aspossible.
If the central STOP warning light comes on when you are driving,
stop your vehicle immediately,where it is safe to do so.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) warninglight
This comes on for 3 seconds eachtime the ignition is switched on. If the warning light remains on or comes on above 8 mph (12 km/h),
this indicates an ABS malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains conven- tional servo-assisted braking. Lighting of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signaland the message "ABS fault"on the
multifunction display.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Coolant temperature and low coolant level warninglight
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight.
You must stop.
Wait for the engine to cool before top-ping up the level. The cooling circuit is pressurised.In the event of breakdown and to prevent any risk of burns , unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow thepressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Central (STOP) warning light Linked to the "engine
oil pressure", "coolant temperature and low coolant level", "handbrake","low brake fluid level" and "electronicbrake force distribution system fault"warning lights.
You must stop if the light flasheswith the engine running.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure and temperature warning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight.
You must stop.
This warning light indicates one ofthe following:
Ð insufficient oil pressure,
Ð a lack of oil in the lubrication cir- cuit. Top up the level.
Ð an oil temperature which is too high. The warning light is acom-
panied by an audible signal. Tolower the oil temperature, reduceyour speed.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

Instrument panel display After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession:
Ð service indicator (see corresponding section),
Ð engine oil level indicator,
Ð total distance recorder (total or trip distances).Note:the total or trip distances are displayed for 30 seconds when the ignition is switched off, on opening the driver's door,
as well as on locking and unlocking the vehicle. Engine oil level When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is indicated for approximately 10 seconds, after the servicing informati on.
Maximum oil level If the flashing of the six squares is confirmed by checking using the dipstick, a surplus of oil can cause damage to the engine.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer without delay. Lack of oilFlashing of the six segments and "min" on the display indicate a lack of oil which can cause damage to the engine. If the lack of oil is confirmed by checking using the dipstick, it is essential to top up the level.
Oil level gauge fault Flashing of the six segments indicates a fault in the oil level gauge.There is a risk the engine will be damaged.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 35
The level indicated when checking using the dipstick is only correct if the vehicle has been on level ground, with the engine stopped, for more than 10 minutes.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
124
CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-mum consumption is 0.5 l per
600 miles (1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle level, engine cold, using the oillevel gauge on the instrumentpanel or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two marks onthe dipstick: A=maximum
Never fill past this mark.B= minimum
To maintain the reliability of engines and emissioncontrol systems, the useof additives in engine oilis prohibited.
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 requirements. Brake fluid level:
Ð The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM marks
in the reservoir.
Ð If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
immediately.
Fluid change:
Ð must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
Note: brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contactwith the skin. Cooling system Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan canoperate with the ignition key removedand because the cooling system ispressurised, wait for at least one hourafter the engine has stopped beforecarrying out any work. 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 engine at ambient temperature.The level should always beabove the MIN. mark and closeto the MAX. mark.
Windscreen and headlamp* wash level For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise thatyou use products recommended by
PEUGEOT.
