Brakes and clutch level: -The level should always be bet- ween the DANGER and MAX
marks on 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 DOT 4standards.
Note: the brake fluid is noxious and
very corrosive. Avoid any contactwith the skin. Coolant level Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlledby the engine fan. Because this fan
can operate with the ignition off andbecause the cooling system is pres-surised, wait for at least one hourafter the engine has stopped beforecarrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of burns, slacken
the cap to the first notch to release the pressure. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level. Used products Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or coolant down drains or on theground. Power steering fluid level Open the reservoir with the engine cold.
