Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. The liquid must comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations and with
the vehicle's engine.
Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop and dispose of it in
the containers reser ved for this purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel
for vehicles equipped with an electric
gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30
minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000
miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick

Practical information

Changing a fuse
Before changing a fuse:
F t he cause of the failure must be identified
and rectified,
F
a
ll electrical consumers must be switched
of f,
F
t
he vehicle must be immobilised with the
ignition off,
F
i
dentify the faulty fuse using the existing
allocation tables and diagrams.
To remove or fit a fuse, it is essential to:
F
u
se the special tweezers to extract the fuse
from its housing and check the condition of
its filament.
F
a
lways replace the failed fuse with a fuse
of the same rating (same colour); using a
different rating could cause faults (risk of
f i r e).
If the fault recurs after replacing a fuse, have
the electrical system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. Replacement with a fuse not shown in the
allocation tables that follow may cause
a serious malfunction of your vehicle.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Installing electrical accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard or
optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to check their comparability.
PEUGEOT accepts no responsibility for
the cost incurred in repairing your vehicle
or for rectifying malfunctions resulting
from the installation of accessories
not supplied and not recommended by
PEUGEOT and not installed in accordance
with specifications, in particular when the
combined power consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected exceeds
10
milliamperes.
