LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes.
t
he maximum oil
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000
km). Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
t

here are two marks on the
dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a P
euge O t
dealer

or a qualified workshop.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
to preserve the reliability of engines and


emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited. Oil change
Brake fluid level
the brake fluid must be changed at
the specified interval, as given in the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
u

se fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which meets the DO
t 4
standard.
t

he level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
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.
Warning lamps
Checking by means of the warning
lamps in the instrument panel is
described in the "Ready to set off -
Instruments and controls" section.

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.

on, you must bleed the filter;
otherwise bleed the filter
regularly, every time the engine
oil is changed.
to remove the water
, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Operate until all of
the water has flowed out.
t

hen tighten the
bleed screw or the water sensor.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a P euge O t

qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment
filter
A blocked passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
t

he replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the warranty and maintenance record.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the type of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the brake pad wear,
even between services.
u

nless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For all information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a P euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a P
euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
t

he presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery
with special technology and specification.
t

he involvement of a P
euge
O
t
dealer


or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Refer to the "Checks -
