The brake fluid level must be between the marking " A " (MA X A " (MA X Alocated on the remote reservoir) and the marking " B " (MIN located on the main reservoir). If it is not, check the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work. To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after switching off the engine: take care with ar ticles and clothing that might become caught by the fan blades.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for the details of the level checking interval for this component.

For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a problem, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specific products. After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
