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.
¥ For indirect injection diesel engines: every 10,000 miles (15 000 km) or every two years.
Your service indicator informs you when a service is due; the point at which a service is due is calculated from the last indi- cator zero reset (see corresponding section). This point is determined by two parameters:Ð the distance travelled,Ð the time elapsed since the last service.Note:the distance remaining may be weighted by the time factor, depending on the driver's style of driving.
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. This is why the PEUGEOT network is offering you an intermediate service between regular services.
The date of this visit 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; every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines and every
5,000 miles (7 500 km) for indirect injection diesel engines.
A PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a quick check and top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, windscreen wash 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 to 3,000 miles (3 000 to 5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use. This extended servicing has been made possible by modifications to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO USE ONLY LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE SUITED TO YOUR ENGINE AND RECOMMENDED
BY THE MANUFACTURER (see "Lubricants" pages).

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.
Fluid change:
Ð Must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð 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 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.
Windscreen and headlamp* wash level For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we advise that youuse products recommended by
PEUGEOT.
* According to destination.
Oil change According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL) If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary to re-prime the circuit:
Ð fill the fuel tank with at least five
litres of diesel,
Ð operate the manual re-priming pump, under the bonnet under the
protective cover, until fuelappears in the transparent pipe,
Ð operate the starter until the engine starts.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF (PETROL) In a serious collision, a mechanism prevents fuel from reaching theengine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press the switch on the corner of the front
right-hand suspension assembly,under the bonnet.
CHECKS Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT deal-
er. Air filter and passenger compartment filter Have the filter elements replaced
regularly.
If you drive in dusty con-
ditions, change them twice asoften. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles which are used in town,over short distances. It may be necessary to check the thickness of the pads, even betweenservices. Handbrake Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in theperformance of the system, thehandbrake should be adjusted, evenbetween services. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accor- dance with the servicing schedule. Manual gearbox This does not require an oil change. Check the level in accordance with themanufacturer's servicing schedule.
