MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406
Recommendations for recommended lubricants The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most pur-poses. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depend-ing on the temperatures at which theoils are to be used. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of 'superior quality'. In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qual-ity (for petrol engines), or CD/CFquality (for diesel engines) may beused by following the 'Arduous Con-ditions' servicing schedule, whichspecifies shorter service intervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a PEUGEOT dealer to maintaindriving pleasure and to minimise themaintenance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

The oil level should be checked with the vehicle level and the engine coldusing the oil gauge or the dipstick.Dipstick There are two marks on the dipstick: A= maximum
Never fill past this mark.B = minimum
To maintain the reliability of the engines and of theemission control systems,the use of additives in theengine oil is prohibited.

Brakes and clutch level:
Ð The level should always be
between the DANGER and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
Ð If the level drops substantially, con- tact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change:
Ð must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4standards.
Note: the brake fluid is noxious and
very corrosive. Avoid any contactwith the skin. Coolant level Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlledby the engine fan. Because this fan
can operate with the ignition off andbecause the cooling system is pres-surised, wait for at least one hourafter the engine has stopped beforecarrying out any work. To avoid any risk of burns, slackenthe cap to the first notch to releasethe pressure. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level. Used products Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or coolant down drains or on theground. Power steering fluid level Open the reservoir with the engine
cold. The level should always beabove the MINI mark, close to theMAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp* wash fluid level For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use
