LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum oil
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:
A
= maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
B
= minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
To preserve the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
Oil change
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid must be changed at
the specified interval, as given in the
manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which meets the DOT4
standard.
The level must be between the MIN
and
MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
Warning lamps
Checking by means of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel is
described in chapter 1, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section. This must be carried out at the specified
interval and the viscosity grade of the oil

manufacturer’s servicing schedule. Ask
for advice from a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
