Checking levels
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 o
ff for more than 30 minutes.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details of theinterval 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 be the correct grade for your
en
gine and conform to the manufacturer'srecommendations.
Th
e brake fluid level should be closeto the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet theDOT4 standard.



Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the enginemay be extremely hot (risk of burns).
If a level drops si
gnificantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
It is normal to top up the oil levelbetween two ser vices (or oil changes).PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top up if necessary, every3 000 miles (5 000 kms).

After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with the oil levelindicator in the instrument panel is not validduring the 30 minutes after topping up.
