These are normal maintenance opera-
tions which keep your vehicle in good
working order. Consult the instruc-
tions in the PEUGEOT network, on
the Service Box site or in the servicing
booklet enclosed with this handbook.
Dipstick There are two marks on

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/refi t the engine style cover,
handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fi xing clips. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out
at the intervals specifi ed and the visco-
sity of the oil chosen must meet the
requirements laid down in the manu-
facturer's servicing schedule. Consult
the instructions in the PEUGEOT
network or on the Service Box site.

Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the containers
provided for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network.
Oil filter
Replace the cartridge regularly in
accordance with the recommenda-
tions of the servicing schedule.
Brake fluid change
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi ls DOT4
Standards.
It is imperative that the brake fl uid is
changed at the intervals specifi ed in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.

Note: avoid all contact with the skin,
the brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive. Use only the fl uid recommended
by the manufacturer.

Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture 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 to the fi rst
notch to release the pressure to
prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level with
coolant.

The engine fan can operate
after the vehicle has stopped.
