Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out
at the intervals speciied and the vis-
cosity of the oil chosen must meet the
requirements laid down in the manu-
facturer's servicing schedule. Consult
the instructions in the PEUGEOT Net-
work or on the Infotec site.
Note:
avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT Network.
Oil ilter
Replace the cartridge regularly in ac-
cordance with the recommendations
of the servicing schedule.
Brake luid change
Use the luid recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulils DOT4
Standards.
It is imperative that the brake luid is
changed at the intervals speciied in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
Note: avoid all contact with the skin,
the brake luid is harmful to health
and very corrosive.
Cooling system
Use the luid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one
hour after the engine has stopped
before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap to the irst notch to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.

be changed.

Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance
of the system, the handbrake
should be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF
(PETROL)
As a safety precaution, in certain cir-
cumstances, a mechanism prevents
fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply:
F press the red button on the angle
of the front right-hand suspension
assembly, under the bonnet.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit.
The repriming pump and the degas
screw are located under the bonnet
(see corresponding illustration in the
technical data section):
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
functions (audio equipment, wind-
screen wiper, electric windows, sun-
roof, electric seats, telephone etc)
are only supplied with power for ap-
proximately thirty minutes, to prevent
complete discharging of the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-func-
tion display and the active functions
are put on standby.
These functions are automatically reac-
tivated when the vehicle is started.
If the telephone is being used when
economy mode starts, it will still be
possible to inish the call.
To ensure the best perform-
ance from components as
important as the power steer-
ing and the braking system,
the manufacturer selects and offers
speciic products, only use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.
