RCZ_en_Chap07_verifications_ed01-2015
BRAKE FLUId LEVEL
The brake fluid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of the interval\

for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
POWER STEERING FLUI d LEVEL
The power steering fluid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
Engine oil grade
Before topping up or changing the engine oil, ensure that you have the
correct grade of oil for your engine and that it meets the manufacturer'\
s
recommendations.
Topping up the engine oil level
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section to identify the \
location
of the oil filler cap in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
F Unscrew
the oil filler cap to reveal the filler aperture.
F Add
oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills on engine
components

(risk of fire).
F

W
ait a few minutes before checking the level again using the

F

Add more oil if necessary
.
F After
checking the level, carefully refit the oil filler cap and the

RAKE PA d SB RAKE d ISC WEAR
The gearbox does not require any maintenance
(no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for the
checking interval for this component.
The

(no oil change).
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule for details of
the level checking interval for this component.
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. For information on checking brake disc wear

, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
PARKING BRAKE
If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system
is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT

dealer
or
a qualified workshop.
