CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes (maximum con-
sumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Note: checking is carried out with
the vehicle level, engine cold, using
the oil level gauge on the control
module or the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A=maximum
Never fill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliabi-
lity of engines and
emission control sys-
tems, the use of
additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING".
Note: Prevent used oil from coming
into prolonged contact with the skin.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Brake fluid level:
– The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
– If the level drops substantially, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer immediately.
Fluid change:
– must be carried out according to
the manufacturer's schedule
– use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
Note: brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid any con-
tact with the skin.
Coolant level
Use fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition off and
because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one
hour after the engine has stopped
before carrying out any work.
Unscrew the cap two turns to allow
the pressure to drop to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Note: The coolant does not need to
be changed.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fluid or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MINI
mark and close to the MAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp*
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use
products recommended by PEU-
GEOT.
Measure the fluid level using the dip-
stick incorporated in the reservoir
cap (vehicles fitted with headlamp
wash).
Close the air hole on the cap and
remove it, then check the level.
* According to destination.
