CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never i ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
Dipstick
Cooling system
Use the l uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. This fan can oper-
ate with the ignition off.

In the case of vehicles i tted with
a particle emission i lter, the fan
can operate after the vehicle has
stopped, even when the engine is
cold.
In addition, as 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.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, this indicates a low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
Brake fluid level
* According to engine.
Oil level
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.
Power steering reservoir
Remove the style trim * (see §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.


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 ve-
hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick. Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
Use l uids recommended by
the manufacturer, which fuli l DOT4
standards.

CHECKS
116
CHECKS
Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance
of the system, the hand-
brake should be adjusted,
even between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Particle emission filter
(Diesel)
It is imperative that the particle emis-
sion i lter is maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Note: following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional cases,
notice discharges of water vapour
at the exhaust on acceleration. This
has no effect on the behaviour of the
vehicle or on the environment. Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.
Disc and drum wear status
For any information relating to the wear
status of the surfaces of the discs and
drums, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and characteristics.
To ensure best performance
from components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, PEUGEOT selects and offers
quite specii c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment is strictly

prohibited .
Oil filter
Used products
Avoid all prolonged contact of the
used oil with the skin.
Brake l uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake l uid or coolant into
drains or onto the ground.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this
purpose in the PEUGEOT network.
Battery
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Brake pads
It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the
pads, even between ser-
vices.
Handbrake
Change the i lter regularly,
in accordance with the ser-
vicing schedule.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil
change. Have the level checked
in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule.


To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servicing
schedule, refer to the
pages of the servicing booklet
which correspond to your vehi-
cle’s engine.

Have the i lter elements re-
placed regularly.
If you drive
in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
