Oil level indicator fault

Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL"
, linked with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multifunction
screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL--"
. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of dam-
age to the engine),

- B
= min; top up the lev-
el via the oil fi ller cap,
using the grade of oil
suited to your engine.

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

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.

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 between
two services. The manufacturer recom-
mends 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.


Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may oper-
ate 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.

Screenwash and headlamp
wash * fluid

The minimum level of this fl uid
is indicated by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen.
Top up the level when you stop the ve-
hicle.

* According to country.
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.

The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.


Fluid specifi cation

manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.
