CHECKING LEVELS
















Oil level


The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched on
using the oil level indicator on
the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
It 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 be-
tween two services (or oil changes).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
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).

If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line
with the servicing booklet and the re-
quirements of the warranty. Top them up
if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.











Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold, un-
screw the cap to check the level.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT3 or DOT4 standard.

Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.











Brake fluid level

The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet 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. After topping up the oil, the
check when switching on the
ignition with the oil level indi-
cator in the instrument panel is not
valid during the 30 minutes after top-
ping up.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
