Used products
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water.
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen. Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
A low additive level is indicated by illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen.
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground. Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it. When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any
work. To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Coolant level
The cooling fan may star t after switching off the engine: take care with articles and clothing that might become caught by the fan blades.
