Checks






Checking levels

Oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator on the instrumentpanel, or using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 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.
