PRACTICAL INFORMATION
CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the oil level
gauge on the instrument panel or the
dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A
= maximum
Never ill past this mark.
B
= minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note:
avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
Brake fluid level
Fluid change:
- must be carried out according
to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
- use luids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulil DOT4
standards.
Note:
brake luid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Cooling system
Use the luid 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 op-
erate 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.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure 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
luid or coolant into drains or into the
ground.
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
Windscreen and headlamp*
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise that
you use products recommended by
PEUGEOT.
Diesel additive level
If the message
"Diesel additive
minimum level"
is displayed on
the multifunction display, accompa-
nied by an audible signal, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer who will top up the
additive reservoir.
* According to destination.
