Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check of the oil level is carried
out with the dipstick, located under
the bonnet. For the position of the
dipstick, refer to the under-bonnet
view on a previous page.Checking with dipstick
If you find that the oil level is above the A mark
or below the B mark, do not star t the engine.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at
any time (even with the ignition off).
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is normal to top up the oil level
between two services (or oil changes).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check
the level, and top up if necessary, every
3 000 miles (5 000 km).
To ensure the accuracy of the reading, your
vehicle must be on a level sur face, with the
engine off for at least 30 minutes.
