Checks
Checking levels
Oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
Engine oil change
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.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated. If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (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 level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the 30 minutes after topping up.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
