Engine coolant level
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine cooling fan. As this fan
can operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.
Topping up
t
he level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the header tank. If more than
1 litre of fluid is required to top up the level,
have the system checked by a P
euge O t
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Power steering fluid level
the vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. u nscrew the cap with
integral gauge and check the level which
must be between the MIN and MAX marks.
Screenwash fluid level
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
topping up or replacement of this fluid
should never be with plain water; we
recommend the use of products available
from P
euge O t
dealers.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
3
litres.
Slacken the cap by two turns to release the
pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
P
euge
O
t
dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the
skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground, but
into the containers provided for this purpose
at P
euge O t
dealers (France) or at an
authorised waste disposal site.
