prohibited.
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. Oil change
It is essential that this is carried out at
the intervals specifi ed and the viscosity
of the oil chosen must meet the require-
ments laid down in the manufacturer's
servicing schedule. Ask for advice from
the PEUGEOT dealer network.

Note : avoid used oil coming into pro-

freezing, this fl uid should not be topped
up or replaced with plain water. Slacken the cap by two turns
to release the pressure to pre-
vent any risk of scalding. When

move the cap and top up the level.

Note : the coolant does not need to be
changed.

CHECKS
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Have the fi lter elements
replaced regularly. If you
drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is essential that the particle emission
fi lter is maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule,
by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Note : following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional circum-
stances, notice emissions of water va-
pour at the exhaust on acceleration.
This does not have any effect on the
performance of the vehicle or the en-
vironment.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the cooling fan may
operate after the vehicle has stopped,
even when the engine is cold. Where the parking brake trav-
el is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance of
the system, the parking brake
should be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
