Low fuel 
level 
 
    
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. 
   
 
Maximum

fi xed with the needle 
in the red zone.    The temperature of the 
cooling system is too high.   Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. 
  Wait until the engine has cooled down 
before topping up the level, if necessary. 
  If the problem persists, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

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 
   
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 in-
dicator 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. 
  In order to maintain the reliability of the 
engine and emission control system, 
the use of additives in the engine oil is 
prohibited.  
   
Fluid specifi cation 
  The brake fl uid must conform to the 
manufacturer's recommendations and 
meet the DOT4 standard.  
   When the engine is warm, the temperature 
of the coolant is regulated by the fan. This 
can operate with the ignition off. 
   
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle 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 pressure to 
drop. When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap and top up the level. 
   
Coolant level 
 
The coolant level should be 
close to the "MAX" mark but 
should never exceed it. 
   
 
When working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain areas 
of the engine may be extremely 
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 every 
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).  
 
 
Oil specifi cation 
  The oil must be the correct grade for 
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.  
 
   
Changing the coolant 
 
The coolant does not have to be changed.  
 
 
Fluid specifi cation 
  The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
