- low screenwash/headlamp wash reservoir
level,

- remote control battery fl at,

- saturation of the particle emission fi lter on
Diesel vehicles (see Checks - checking
levels/particle emissions fi lter).
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

CHECKS





































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
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.

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.
It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT rec-
ommends that you check the oil
level and top up if necessary every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation. 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.

Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
When working under the bonnet,
take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must 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.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

Engine oil change
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.
