The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the manufacturer'srecommendations.

Th
e brake fluid level should be closeto the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check

Ta k e c a r e w h e n w o r k i ng under the bonnet, as
cer tain areas of the engine may be extremelyhot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan couldstart at any time (even with the ignition off).

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 between two ser vices
(or oil changes). PEUGEOT recommends that youcheck 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.

Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour a
fter switching off theengine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
b
y two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up t
he level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up with or
replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid levelis indicated by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan. This can
operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par ticle
emission filter, the fan may operate after the vehicle has been switched off, even if the engine is cold.
Top up the reser voir when you next stop the
vehicle.
