Windscreen wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you
use products recommended by your
manufacturer.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil viscosity grade
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments. Cooling system

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a
turn to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level. O n l y u s e t h e fl u i d r e c o m -

Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine.
Do not dispose of used oil,
b r a k e fl u i d o r c o o l a n t i n t o
drains or into the ground.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network (France) or at an
authorised waste disposal site.
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 dipstick.
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.

to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine.

Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
Disc and drum wear
For any information relating to disc
and drum surface wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accord-

schedule.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
If the engine stops, it is pos-
sible to restart it to drive a
short distance by operating
the priming pump at least
10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit must
be reprimed:
- fi l l t h e f u e l t a n k w i t h a t l e a s t fi v e litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the

- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Notes: if the engine does
not start after approxima tely
15 seconds, operate the prim-
ing pump again approximately

If the emission control warning lamp has
come on, it will only switch off after your
vehicle has been used several times. Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the park-
ing brake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
