CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-mum consumption is 0.5 l per
600 miles (1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle level, engine cold, using the oillevel gauge on the instrumentpanel or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two marks onthe dipstick: A=maximum
Never fill past this mark.B= minimum
To maintain the reliability of engines and emissioncontrol systems, the useof additives in engine oilis prohibited.
Oil change According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin. Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's requirements. Brake fluid level:
Ð The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM marks
in the reservoir.
Ð If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
immediately.
Fluid change:
Ð must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
Note: brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contactwith the skin. Cooling system Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. 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 removedand because the cooling system ispressurised, wait for at least one hourafter the engine has stopped beforecarrying 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 engine at ambient temperature.The level should always beabove the MIN. mark and closeto the MAX. mark.
Windscreen and headlamp* wash level For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we would advise thatyou use products recommended by
PEUGEOT.

At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT deal-
er. Air filter and passenger compartment filter Have the filter elements replaced regu-
larly. If you drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often .
Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehi-cles which are used in town, overshort distances. It may be necessary to check the thickness of the pads, even betweenservices. Handbrake Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in theperformance of the system, thehandbrake should be adjusted, evenbetween services. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Automatic gearbox This does not need an oil change. Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accor- dance with the servicing schedule.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor- mance from compo-
nents as important as the powersteering and the braking system,PEUGEOT selects and offersquite specific products.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL) If you should run out of fuel, it is neces- sary to re-prime the circuit: 1.4 litre HDI engine
Ð fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
Ð operate the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears in the transparent pipe under the bonnet,
Ð operate the starter until the engine starts.

Ð If possible, park the vehicle on
level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Ð Apply the handbrake, engage first or reverse gear (position Pfor the
automatic gearbox).
Access to the spare wheel andthe jack The wheel is located outside the vehicle, under the boot, supported
by a metal carrier.
Ð Remove the wheelbrace 1, secured
on the rear right inner panel of the boot . Ð Using the wheelbrace
1, slacken the spare wheel carrier retaining bolt, located
inside the boot under the carpet .
Ð Lift the carrier to release the hook rearwards, then lower it.
Ð Remove the jack storage box 2located in the spare wheel.
Removing a wheel
Ð Chock the rear of the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed, using the jack storage box.
Ð Remove the wheel trim using the wheelbrace, by pulling at the valve passage hole.
Ð Slacken the wheel bolts.
Ð Place the jack under the locating point on the sub-frame Ethat is closest to

SPECIAL FEATURES OF
ALLOY WHEELS Bolt covers Alloy wheel bolts are covered by chrome trims. Use the yellow tool 4to remove the
trims before slackening the bolts.
Tool 4is located:
Ð on the saloon and 206 RC, on the rear right inner panel of the boot,
Ð on the 206 SW, in the jack storage compartment. Fitting the spare wheelIf your vehicle is equipped with a steel spare wheel, when fitting it, it isnormal
to notice that the bolt wash-
ers do not come into contact with the
rim. The spare wheel is secured bythe cone-shape of each bolt. Fitting snow tyres If you fit snow tyres that are mounted on steel rims onto your vehicle, it isessential that you use special bolts
available from your PEUGEOT dealer. Wheel anti-theft bolts* If your wheels are fitted with anti-theft bolts (one per wheel), the chrome-plated trim cap and then the plasticcover on the wheel must be removed,using tool
4, before slackening the bolt
using one of the anti-theft sockets(handed to you along with the dupli-cate keys and the confidential card ondelivery of your vehicle) and thewheelbrace 1.
Note: take a careful note of the code
number engraved on the head of the
anti-theft socket. This will enable youto obtain a duplicate anti-theft socketfrom a PEUGEOT de aler.
