Cooling systemCHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance opera-tions which keep your vehicle in good working order. Consult the instructions in the PEUGEOT Network, on the In-fotec site or in the servicing booklet enclosed with this handbook.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fill past this mark.
B = minimum
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level, the engine having been off for more than 15 minutes, using the dipstick.
Important: if you have to re-move/refit the engine style cov-er, handle it with care to avoid damaging the fixing clips.
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the intervals specified 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 pro-longed contact with the skin. Empty the used oil into the containers provid-ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT Network.
Oil filter
Replace the cartridge regularly in ac-cordance with the recommendations of the servicing schedule.
Brake fluid change
Use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfils DOT4 Standards.
It is imperative that the brake fluid is changed at the intervals specified in accordance with the manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
Note: avoid all contact with the skin, the brake fluid is harmful to health and very corrosive.
Use only the fluid recommend-ed by the manufacturer.
Note: the coolant does not need to be changed.
When the engine is warm, the tem-perature of the coolant is controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can oper-ate with the ignition key removed and because the cooling system is pressu-rised, wait for at least one hour after the engine has stopped before carry-ing out any work.
Slacken the cap to the first notch to release the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-ing. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level with coolant.
The engine fan can oper-ate after the vehicle has stopped.
