Level
Brake fluid
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Advice
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Brake padsBrake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may 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. Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
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 km).
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.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
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.
