Engine oil level indicator

When the ignition is switched on,
the engine oil level is indicated for
approximately 10 seconds, after the
service information.
Flashing of the six squares and the
display of "max" indicate that the oil
level is too high, which could damage
the engine.
If the excess oil is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer without delay. Your PEUGEOT dealer carries out
this operation after each service.
The reset procedure is as follows:


- Switch off the ignition.

- Press and hold button 1
.

- Switch on the ignition.
The display begins a 10 second count-
down.


-
Keep button 1
pressed for 10 seconds.

The display shows [=0]
and the span-
ner disappears.

Flashing of the six bars and the dis-
play of "min" indicate that the oil level
is too low, which could damage the
engine.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essen-
tial that the level is topped up. Flashing of the six bars indicates a
malfunction of the oil level indicator.
There is a risk of damage to the
engine.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

The level read on the dipstick or on
the indicator will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.

CHECKING LEVELS

Dipstick

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.

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 par-
ticle fi lter, the engine fan may ope-
rate 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 reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives 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 manu-
facturer, which fulfi l DOT4 standards.


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.

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.


Used products

Avoid products such as used oil and
brake fl uid coming into prolonged
contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fl uid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground. Empty used oil into the
containers provided for this purpose
in the PEUGEOT dealer network
(France) or to an authorised waste
disposal site.


Oil level

It is normal to top up the engine oil
between services. PEUGEOT recom-
mends that you check the oil level, and
top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles
(5 000 kilometres).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dipstick.
