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.
Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.
Changing the engine oil
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record 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.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and

Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for de-
tails of the checking intervals
for this component.
Parking brake
If the parking brake travel is too
long or if you notice a loss of effec-
tiveness of this system, the parking
brake must be adjusted, even be-
tween two services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for de-
tails of the level checking in-
tervals for this component.
Brake disc and drum wear
For any information relating
to checking of the brake disc
and/or drum wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop. Only use products recommend-
ed by PEUGEOT or products of
equivalent quality and specifi ca-
tions.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the brak-
ing system, PEUGEOT selects
and offers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compart-
ment is strictly prohibited
.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
