CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
F 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.
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. Empty
the used oil into the containers intend-
ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT
network.
Brake luid 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.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
luid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground.
Dipstick
* According to country.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
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.
For vehicles equipped with a par-
ticle ilter, the engine fan may op-
erate after the ignition has been
switched off, even when the engine
is cold.
Power steering reservoir
F Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine 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 a message on the multifunction
display indicates a low diesel addi-
tive level accompanied by an audible
signal, this additive must be topped
up. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible.

CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil ilter
Change the ilter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perform-
ance from components as
important as the power steering
and the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers quite speciic
products.
To prevent damage to the elec-
trical units, avoid washing the
engine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit:
Air ilter and passenger
compartment ilter
Have the ilter elements replaced reg-
ularly. If you drive in dusty condi-
tions, change them twice as often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine. 1.4 litre HDI engine
- ill the fuel tank with at least ive
litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears
in the transparent pipe under the

SPECIAL FEATURES OF
ALLOY WHEELS
Bolt covers
Alloy wheel bolts are covered by
chrome trims.
Use the yellow tool 4 to remove the
trims before slackening the bolts.
Tool 4 is located:
- on the saloon and 206 GTi 180, on the rear right inner panel of the boot,
- on the 206 SW, in the jack storage compartment.
Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a
steel spare wheel, when itting it, it is
normal to notice that the bolt wash-
ers do not come into contact with the
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the cone-shape of each bolt.
Wheel anti-theft bolts
If your wheels are itted with anti-
theft bolts (one per wheel), the
chrome-plated trim cap and then
the plastic cover on the wheel must
be removed, using tool 4, before
slackening the bolt using one of the
two anti-theft sockets (located in the
glove box) and the wheelbrace 1.
Note: take a careful note of the code
number engraved on the head of the
anti-theft socket. This will enable you
to obtain a duplicate anti-theft socket
from a PEUGEOT dealer.
Fitting snow tyres
If you it snow tyres that are mounted
on steel rims onto your vehicle, it
is essential that you use special
bolts available from your PEUGEOT
dealer.

PUNCTURES (206 GTi 180)
Because this version does not pos-
sess a spare wheel, you will ind a
repair kit (two tyre repair aerosols)
stored in an insulated box 1 secured
by a strap on the left-hand side of the
boot. F
Shake the aerosol vigorously
before use. In very cold weather,
warm the aerosol for a few min-
utes in your hands.
F Fix the aerosol connector onto the
valve, keeping it centralised.
F Hold the valve against the hole
in the wheel rim and at the same
time empty the aerosol, keeping it
upright.
F Maintain the pressure irmly for
one minute.
F Remove the connector and im-
mediately drive at least 3 miles
(5 km).
F If possible, check the pressure of
the tyre.
F Then immediately drive at moder-
ate speed to the nearest garage. The aerosol cans enable
you to carry out a tem-
porary repair (maximum
speed 50 mph (80 km/h)).
After use, the tyre must be re-
placed. As the aerosol cans are
pressurised, they must not be
exposed to a temperature above
50 °C.
Store them away from heat in their
insulated storage box.
CHANGING A WHEEL
Tools
- The jack and the chock are in a cover 2 secured by two straps on
