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.
Take care when working under the bon-
net, as some parts of the engine can be
extremely hot (risk of burns).
Brake fluid level
Oil level
The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
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.
It is normal to top up the engine oil be-
tween two services. The manufacturer
recommends a check of the oil level, and
top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 km). The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
