Recommendations for approved lubricants
The oils which appear in the table oppo-site are suitable for most purposes. The diagram opposite states the opti- mum range of viscosity depending on thetemperatures at which the oils are to beused. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of "superior quality". In the absence of semi-synthetic or syn-
thetic oils, oils of ACEA A1/A2 and API
SH/SJ/SL quality (for petrol engines), or
ACEA B1/B2 and API CD/CF quality (fordiesel engines) may be used by followingthe 'Arduous Conditions' servicingschedule, which specifies shorter serviceintervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from a
PEUGEOT dealer to maintain drivingpleasure and to minimise the mainte-nance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

Brake and clutch fluid level:
- The level should always bebetween the DANGER and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
- If the level drops substantially, con- tact a PEUGEOT dealer immedi-
ately.
Fluid change:
- must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
- use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT 4standards.
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, slacken the 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 at ambient temperature. Thelevel should always be above theMIN mark, close to the MAX mark.
Windscreen and headlamp* wash fluid level For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we advise that you useproducts recommended by
