CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll 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. Brake fluid level
The brake fl uid must be changed
according to the manufacturer's ser-
vicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4 stan-
dards.

Note: brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin. Used oil
Avoid used oil coming into prolonged
contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or
coolant into drains or onto the ground.
Dipstick
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments. Cooling system
Use the fl uid 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. Power steering reservoir

 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 wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products recommended by PEUGEOT.
Oil level

 Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-
mum 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 dip-
stick.

79CHECKS-
CHECKS
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. Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT
or products of equivalent
quality and specifi cations.
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers quite specifi c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter 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.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For further information relating to
checking brake disc and/or drum
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly, in accor-
dance with the servicing schedule.

In a serious collision, a system pre-
vents fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press
the switch on the angle of the front
left-hand suspension assembly, un-
der the bonnet.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Have the level checked in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's ser-
vicing 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.
