fi xed with the needle 
in the red zone.    When it fi rst comes on there 
remains approximately 
  6 litres 
 of fuel in the tank.  
At this point, you begin to 
use the fuel reserve. 
  Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.  
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition 
is switched on, until a suffi cient addition of fuel is made. 
  Fuel tank capacity: approximately  60 litres 
. 
  Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as 
this could damage the emission control and injection 
systems.

  Wait until the engine has cooled down 
before topping up the level, if necessary. 
  If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT

CHECKING LEVELS 
 
Check all of these levels regularly and 
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated. 
  If a level drops signifi cantly, have the 
corresponding system checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed  work-
shop. 
   
Brake fluid level 
 
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan. 
This can operate with the ignition off. 
   
On vehicles which are fi tted with a 
particle emission fi lter, the fan may 
operate after the vehicle has been 
switched off, even if the engine is 
cold. 
 
  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-
sure to drop. When the pressure has 
dropped, remove the cap and top up 
the level. 
   
Oil level 
 
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. 
  This manual check will only be correct if the 
vehicle is on level ground and the engine 
has been off for more than 30 minutes. 
  After topping up the oil, the check when 
switching on the ignition with the oil level 
indicator in the instrument panel will only 
be valid 30 minutes after topping up.   The brake fl uid level should be 
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is 
not, check the brake pad wear. 
   
Changing the fl uid 
  Refer to the servicing booklet for details 
of the interval for this operation.  
 
 
Power steering fluid level 
 
The power steering fl uid  level 
should be close to the "MAX" 
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the 
engine cold, to check the level.  
 
 
Screenwash and headlamp 
wash fluid 
  In the case of vehicles fi tted 
with headlamp washers, the 
low fl uid level is indicated by an 
audible signal and a message 
in the instrument panel screen. 
  Top up the reservoir when you stop the 
vehicle. 
   
Engine oil change 
  Refer to the servicing booklet for details 
of the interval for this operation.    
Oil specifi cation 
  The oil must be the correct grade for 
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.  
 
   
Fluid specifi cation 
  The brake fl uid must conform to the 
manufacturer's recommendations and 
meet the DOT4 standard.  
    
Changing the coolant 
  The coolant does not have to be 
changed.  
   
Fluid specifi cation 
  For optimum cleaning and to avoid 
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped 
up with or replaced with plain water.  
 
 
 
Coolant level 
 
The coolant level should be 
close to the "MAX" mark but 
should never exceed it.    
Fluid specifi cation 
  The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.  
     
When working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain areas 
of the engine may be extreme-
ly hot (risk of burns).  
   
It is normal to top up the oil level 
between services. PEUGEOT 
recommends that you check 
the oil level and top up if necessary ev-
ery 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).    In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emission control system, 
the use of additives in the engine oil is 
prohibited.
