coolant level Peugeot Boxer 2002.5 Owner's Manual

16-09-2002
The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil between oil changes is normal. This is why the PEUGEOT network is offering you an intermediate service between regular services.
The date of this visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 15,000 km for petrol engines and dual-fuel petrol or LPG/UNG engines; every 10,000 km for direct injection diesel engines. APeugeot dealer will carry out a quick check and top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, windscreen wash up
to 2 litres).If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine : check the engine oil level at least every 3 000 to 5 000 km, depending on the conditions of use. This extended servicing has been made possible by modifications to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS THAT ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.

Low coolant level warning light
Lighting of this warning light indicates that the coolant level is too low.
Stop immediately.
W arning: allow the engine to cool before topping up.
The cooling circuit is pressurised.Any 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.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 31
Engine oil pressure warning light This comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. Lighting of this warning light while the engine is running indicates that
the oil pressure or level is too low.
Stop immediately. If there is a lack of oil in the lubrication circuit, top it up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS A warning light which comes on permanently or flashes while the engine is
running indicates an operating fault. The lighting of certain warning lights may be accompanied by a bleep and a message on the multifunction dis-

PRACTICAL INFORMATION143
CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level ☞ Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-mum consumption is 0.5 l per1000 km. Check the level with the vehicle level, engine cold, using the dips-tick.
Dipstick
There are two marks onthe dipstick: A= maximum.
Never fill past this mark.B = minimum.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission control systems, the useof additives in engine oilis prohibited.
Oil change According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
W ARNING: avoid used oil from
coming into prolonged contact withthe skin.
V iscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments. Brake fluid level: - the level must always be between the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
- if the level drops substantially,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change: - must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing sche-dule.
- use fluids approved by the manu-
facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan-dards.
W ARNING: brake fluid is harmful to
health and very corrosive. Avoid allcontact with the skin. Cooling system Use the fluid approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan canoperate with the ignition key remo-ved and because the cooling systemis pressurised, wait for at least onehour after the engine has stoppedbefore carrying out any work. Slacken the cap to the first notch torelease the pressure to prevent anyrisk of scalding. When the pressurehas dropped, remove the cap andtop up the level. Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed. Used oil Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or coolant into drains or into theground. Power steering reservoir ☞ Open the reservoir, with the engi-
ne at ambient temperature. Thelevel should always be above theMIN. mark and close to the MAX.mark.
W indscreen and headlamp
wash reservoir For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you useproducts approved by PEUGEOT(7.5 litres with headlamp wash).
