CHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance opera-tions which keep your vehicle in good working order. Consult the instructions in the PEUGEOT Network, on the In-fotec site or in the servicing booklet enclosed with this handbook.
Dipstick
There are two marks on the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fill 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 level
Check the level regularly and top up between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level, the engine having been off for more than 15 minutes, using the dipstick.
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the intervals specified and the viscosity of the oil chosen must meet the requirements laid down in the manufacturer’s servicing schedule. Consult the instructions in the PEUGEOT Network or on the Infotec site.
Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-longed contact with the skin. Empty the used oil into the containers provid-ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT Network.

It is imperative that the brake fluid is changed at the intervals specified in accordance with the manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
Note: avoid all contact with the skin, the brake fluid is harmful to health and very corrosive.
Used oil
Power steering reservoir

To prevent damage to the electrical units, avoid washing the engine.
Slacken the cap by two turns to release the pressure to pre-vent any risk of scalding. When the pressure has dropped, re-move the cap and top up the level.
Note: the coolant does not need to be changed.
Use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can operate with the ignition key removed and because the cooling
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or coolant into drains or onto the ground.
