CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. Maximum con-
sumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
The oil level should be checked with
the vehicle level and the engine cold
using the oil gauge or the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fill past this mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of the engines and of the
emission control systems,
the use of additives in the
engine oil is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
Note: avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil with the skin.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406
32
Brakes and clutch level:
– The level should always be
between the DANGER and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
– If the level drops substantially, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change:
– must be carried out according to
the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
– use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
Note: the brake fluid is noxious and
very corrosive. Avoid any contact
with the skin.
Coolant level
Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. Because this fan
can operate with the ignition off and
because the cooling system is pres-
surised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of burns, slacken
the cap to the first notch to release
the pressure. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Used products
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fluid or coolant down drains or on the
ground.
Power steering fluid level
Open the reservoir with the engine
cold. The level should always be
above the MINI mark, close to the
MAXI mark.
