top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.

PEUGEOT dealer. Brake fluid level
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched on
using the oil level indicator on the
instrument panel, or using the dip-
stick.
This manual check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel will only
be valid 30 minutes after topping up. T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e

Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing the switch B to position "I" until
the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of splashing).
Remove the kit and screw the cap
back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your ve- h i c l e w i t h t r a c e s o f fl u i d . K e e p t h e k i t

pressure using the kit.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes
the pressure is not attained,
this indicates that the tyre is
not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT
