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.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices
(or oil changes). PEUGEOTrecommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check whenswitching on the ignition with the oil levelindicator in the instrument panel is not validduring the 30 minutes after topping up.

interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine

additives in the engine oil is prohibited.

Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be closeto the "MA X" 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 ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par ticle
emission filter, 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 anywork.
To avoid an
y risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.When the pressure has dropped, remove thecap and top up the level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
