Oil level
PrincipleAdvice
Dipstick
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate the
dipstick and the oil filler cap on your engine.
There are 2 marks on the dipstick:
- A = max; never exceed this
level,
- B = min; top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the
grade of oil suited to your
engine.
Checking
F Open the bonnet and secure it with the
st ay.
F Pull the dipstick out and wipe it with a clean
cloth.
F Return the dipstick to its tube and then pull
it out again to check the level against the
mark.
F Return the dipstick to its tube.
Low oil level
F Identify the engine oil filler cap.
F Open the filler cap.
F Add engine oil with exceeding mark A .
F Fit the filler cap. Take car when working under the
bonnet, as some parts of the engine
can be very hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan can start at any time (even
with the ignition switched off).
If a level is found to be very low, have
the corresponding system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
A check of the engine oil level is only
valid if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for at least
30 minutes.
Oil grade: the oil used must meet
the specification given in the
manufacturer's servicing and warranty
booklet.

Level incorrect
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL" or
by the display of a dedicated message in the
instrument panel.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
Fault
This is indicated by the flashing of " OIL_ _" or
by the display of a dedicated message in the
instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Level correct
It is normal to top-up the engine oil
level between services (or oil changes).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check
the oil level and top-up if necessary,
every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
Electronic oil level indicator
The check is done for a few seconds on
switching on the ignition with a message in the
display or screen (depending on version).

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.
