CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
N e v e r i l l p a s t t h i s m a r k .
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network. Brake fluid level:

In all cases, the oil selected must

ments. Cooling system
U s e t h e l u i d r e c o m m e n d e d b y t h e
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate 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.
Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.

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. Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT
or products of equivalent
q u a l i t y a n d s p e c i i c a t i o n s .
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and

To prevent damage to the electri-
cal units, avoid washing the en-
gine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit:
- i l l t h e f u e l t a n k w i t h a t l e a s t i v e litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe
under the bonnet,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
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.

ing the disc wear status, contact a

r e c t l y o n t h e p i n a n d c l i p t h e i x i n g s .
Check that the mat is secured cor-
rectly.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- only use mats suited to the i x i n g s a l r e a d y p r e s e n t i n t h e
vehicle. It is imperative that
t h e s e i x i n g s a r e u s e d .
- n e v e r i t o n e m a t o n t o p o f another. - Clean off bird
droppings, resinous
deposits, tar stains and
grease marks as soon
a s p o s s i b l e ; ( t h e s e a l l c o n t a i n substances which can cause
serious damage to the
paintwork).
- Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent
products to clean the double
lens, complex surface
h e a d l a m p s a s t h e y a r e i t t e d
with polycarbonate glass
covered in a protective
i n i s h .
- Do not use petrol, oil or cloth stain removers to clean the
bodywork and plastic parts of
your vehicle.
- To prevent the development of bodywork corrosion as a
result of accidental damage
( s t o n e c h i p s , s c r a t c h e s , e t c . )
have them repaired swiftly.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the
plastic trim on your vehicle, we recom-
mend that you wash them regularly.
- b y h a n d : t h e r e a r e n o s p e c i i c precautions to take;
- using an automatic car wash: repeated use of poorly
maintained automatic car
washes can lead to the
appearance of microscopic
scratches which give the
paintwork a matt appearance
( e s p e c i a l l y v i s i b l e o n d a r k
colours);
- using a high pressure washer: always follow the
recommendations on the
e q u i p m e n t ( p r e s s u r e a n d
spraying distance).
If there are damaged areas on t h e v e h i c l e ( p a i n t e d b u m p e r s
or headlamps), it is not
recommended to direct the high
pressure jet onto them. Wash
these areas by hand.
Also avoid the entry of water into the locks.
For all questions relating to the main-
tenance of your vehicle, contact an
approved dealer who can advise you
on quality products selected by our
departments.
