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 (depending
on version), 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, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Oil specification
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 fluid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
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).
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.
