Lack of oil
If "OIL" fl ashes and the service warn-
ing light comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on

If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up.

engine oil level is indicated for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after the service indi-
cator display.

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet. Changing the brake fluid

changed at the intervals
stated, according to the

schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the man-
ufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4 standards. Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products

by an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction display.
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 ope
rate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pres-
surised, wait for at least one hour after
the engine has stopped before carry-
ing 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. Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
Lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, indicates that the die-
sel additive level is low.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.

Note
: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
The level must always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark. Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fl uid or coolant into
drains or into the ground.
Oil level
Check the level regularly
and top up between chang-
es. The maximum consump-
tion 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.
