Checks






Checking levels
Oil level


The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using theoil level indicator in the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.

Engine oil change

Refer to the ser vicing and warranty booklet for
details of the inter val 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'srecommendations.
Th
e 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 servicing and warranty booklet for
details of the interval for this operation.

Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet the
DOT3 or DOT4 standard.



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 star t at
any time (even with the ignition off).
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, in line with the ser vicing booklet and the requirements of the warranties. 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 whenswitching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
durin
g the 30 minutes after topping up. It will onl
y be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.

Refer to the ser vicing and warranty
booklet for details of the levelchecking interval for this component. Brake wear depends on the st
yle
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It ma
y be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fluid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.

disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.


Brake disc wear
Parking brake


If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even between two ser vices.

The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg).
**

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced b
y 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
