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.
