marks on the reservoir.
Ð If the level drops substantially, con- tact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.

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, slackenthe cap to the first notch to releasethe pressure. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level.
