CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Emp-
ty the used oil into the containers
intended for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network. Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.
On vehicles fitted with a particle
emission filter, the fan may operate
after the engine has been switched
off, even when the engine is cold.
* According to country.
There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A
= maximum
Never fill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reli-
ability of engines and
emission control sys-
tems, the use of ad-
ditives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Brake fluid change:
- must be carried out according to the manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
- use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
Note: brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with 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 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 by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake flu-
id or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
Windscreen and headlamp*
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products recommended by PEUGEOT.

89Practical information-
CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and specifications.
To ensure best performance
from components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, PEUGEOT selects and offers
quite specific products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment is strictly
prohibited .
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is nec-
essary to re-prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five li-
tres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF
(PETROL)
In a serious collision, a mechanism
prevents fuel from reaching the en-
gine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press
the switch on the corner of the front
right-hand suspension assembly, un-
der the bonnet.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the filter elements replaced regu-
larly. If you drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often.
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 between
services.
Disc and drum wear
For information relating to the wear of
the surfaces of the discs and drums,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle’s engine.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
