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.

very dusty conditions, change ittwice as often. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehi-cles that are used in town, for shortjourneys. It may be necessary to check the thickness of the pads even betweenservices.

PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox This does not require an oil change. Have the level checked in accor-dance with the manufacturer's ser-vicing schedule. Oil filterReplace the cartridge regularly in accordance with the servicing sched-ule.
