CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum consumption is 0.5 l per 1 000 km. Check the level with the vehicle on level ground, engine cold, using the oillevel gauge on the instrument panel orthe dipstick. Dipstick
There are two marks on the 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. 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 MAXI-
MUM marks in the reservoir.
Ð If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
immediately.

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 keyremoved and because the coolingsystem is pressurised, wait for atleast one hour after the engine hasstopped before carrying out anywork. 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.
