Brake and clutch fluid level:
- The level should always bebetween the DANGER and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
- If the level drops substantially, con- tact a PEUGEOT dealer immedi-
ately.
Fluid change:
- must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
- 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 releasethe pressure. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level.
