coolant level Peugeot 406 C 2002 Owner's Manual

PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
¥ For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30 000 km) or every two years.
¥ For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every two years. The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil between two oil changes is normal. It is for this reason, and for your complete peace of mind, that your Peugeot dealer will carry out a levels check and top-up midway between two routine services, at the time or distance intervals specified. This will be undertaken free of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out within the PEUGEOT network. At the same time, your Peugeot dealer will offer you a Peugeot safety check, for a nominal fee.
A Peugeot professional will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil up to 1 litre, coolant and screen wash).
The date of the intermediate visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10,000 miles ( 15 000 km) for petrol engines and every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines. If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every 2,000 miles (3 000 km) or 3,000 miles (5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use.
The extended service intervals have been made possible by technical modifications to the vehicles and lubricants: THUS
IT IS ESSENTIALTO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER

If the Central (STOP) warning light comes on when you are driving, stop your vehicle immediately where it is safe to do so.
Central (STOP) warning light Linked to the "engine oil pressure", ''the low brake fluid level'', '' the coolant temperature gauge'' and ''electronic brake force distribu-tion system fault'' warning lights. It comes on each time the igni-tion is switched on.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Engine Checking the oil levelCheck the level regularly and top up between changes. Maximumconsumption is 0.5 litres per 600miles (1 000 km). The oil level should be checked with the vehicle level and the engine cold.There are two marks onthe dipstick: A= maximum
B = minimum
Oil change: according to the manu-
facturer's servicing schedule.
- Dipstick. Never fill past the maxi- mum mark A.
- Oil level gauge on the instrument panel.
Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments. Oil filter Change the filter regularly according to the servicing schedule. Used oilPrevent used oil from coming into prolonged contact with the skin. Do not dispose of used oil into drains or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of engines and emission control systems, theuse of additives in the engine oil isprohibited.
Brakes and clutch Checking the brake and clutch fluid level:
- The level should always be above the DANGER mark on the reser-
voir.
- If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change
- must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing sche- dule.
- use fluids approved by the manu- facturer, which fulfil DOT 4 stan-dards. Cooling system 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 atleast one hour after the engine hasstopped before carrying out anywork. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, slacken thecap to the first notch to release thepressure. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level.
