In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-

dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator on the instrument panel, or
using the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the consump-
tion should not exceed 0.5 litre per
600 miles (1,000 km). T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e

To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited .
Brake disc wear status
Brake pads Handbrake
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
d r o p i n t h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l i n d i c a t e s
that the brake pads are worn. For information relating to
checking the brake disc wear
status, contact a PEUGEOT

If the handbrake travel is too
long or if a loss of effectiveness
of this system is noticed, the
handbrake must be adjusted,
even between two services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing book-
let for the details of the level

The quality of the fuel used for Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible with b iofuels which comply with current and future Europe an standards (diesel fuel
which complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a bi ofuel which complies with standard EN 14214) which can be distributed at
the pumps (possible incorporation of 0 to 7 % of Fa tty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (vegetable or animal oils, domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risks of damage t o
the engine and to the fuel circuit).
