CHECKING THE LEVELS
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note:
avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.
For vehicles equipped with a parti-
cle fi lter, the engine fan may operate
after the ignition has been switched
off, even when the engine is cold.
There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A
= maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.
B
= minimum
To maintain the reli-
ability of engines and
emission control sys-
tems, the use of ad-
ditives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Brake fluid level:
The brake fl uid must be changed ac-
cording to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.
Note:
brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Cooling system
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fl uid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground.
Power steering reservoir
)
Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the
MIN. mark and close to the MAX.
mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise that
you use products recommended by
PEUGEOT.
For optimum cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Oil level
)
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-
mum consumption is 0.5 l per
600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dipstick.

CHECKS
Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cations.
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, PEUGEOT selects and offers
quite specifi c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is nec-
essary to re-prime the circuit:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve
litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual
re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF(PETROL)
In a serious collision, a mechanism pre-
vents fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press
the switch on the corner of the front
right-hand suspension assembly, under
the bonnet.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty condi-
tions, change them twice as often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.
Disc and drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the disc and drum wear status, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
