Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments. Oil filter Change the filter regularly in accor- dance with the maintenance schedule. Used oil Prevent used oil from coming into pro- longed contact with the skin. Do not dispose of used oil into drains or into the ground.
To maintain the reliability of engines and emission control systems, the useof additives in the engine oil is prohi-bited. Brake fluid reservoir Checking the brake and clutch fluid level :
Ð The level should always be above
the DANGER mark on the reser-
voir.
Ð If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change
Ð must be carried out according to the manufacturerÕs schedule.
Ð use fluids approved by the manu- facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan- dards.
Coolant reservoir Use the fluid approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlledby the engine fan: because this fancan operate with the ignition keyremoved, and because the coolingsystem is pressurised, wait for at leastone hour after the engine has stoppedbefore carrying out any work.
If necessary, in a breakdown, slacken the cap to the first notch to releasethe pressure to prevent any risk ofscalding. When the pressure hasdropped remove the cap and top upthe level.
