PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your 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. 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 that the PEUGEOT network invites you to an intermediate visit between regular services.
The date of this service is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10,000 miles (15 000 km) for petrol engines and every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines.
A Peugeot dealer will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, screenwash 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 miles (3 000 km) or 3,000 miles (5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use. The extended service intervals have been made possible by technical modifications to the vehicles and lubricants:

up coolant" on the multi-function display.
Stop immediately.
Warning: Allow the engine to cool before topping up. Central STOP warning light This light comes on each time the ignition is switched on. It is linked to the "engine oil pressure", ''oil temperature'', ''coolant level low'', ''brake fluid level'', "electronic brake force distribution
fault' and ''coolant temperature gauge'' warning lights. Stop immediately if it flashes with the engine running.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure warning light Linked to the central STOPwarning light.
If it comes on with the engine running, it is accompanied by an audible signal and the message ''Oil pressure low''or ''Top up engine oil'' on

- ''Brake system problem'' is dis-
played simultaneously with theABS light, indicating a malfunctionof the electronic brake force distri-bution.

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 levelgauge on the instrument panel orthe 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 require-ments. Brake fluid level:
- The level must always be between the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
- 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 recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4standards.
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 remo-ved and because the cooling systemis pressurised, wait for at least onehour after the engine has stoppedbefore carrying out any work. Slacken the cap to the first notch torelease the pressure to prevent anyrisk of scalding. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top 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.
Windscreen and headlamp* wash level For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products recommended by PEUGEOT.
