Beware: When working under the bonnet, the cooling fan could operate if the engi-
ne is hot (even when switched off).
Topping up the cooling system The coolant level should be between the MAXIMUM and MINIMUM marks on the header tank.
Top up the level. If more than I litre is required to top up, have
the cooling system checked by your dealer. Ensure that the cap is fully tightened to the second notch. Note:
Frequent topping up could indicate a fault within the cooling system.
Have it checked as soon as possible.The replacement of the coolant must be carried out by the dealer network. Coolant The antifreeze in the coolant protects against low temperatures and provides anti-corrosion protection and resistance to high operating temperatures.However these properties degrade progressively with time. Oil quality: see Ç Lubricants and fluids È.
Radiator - coolantThe coolant must only be checked or topped up if the engine is cold. Engine hot:
Wait 15 minutes or until the tempe- rature is below 100 degrees C.Using a cloth to protect your hands,slowly slacken the filler cap as far
as the safety catch. Allow the pres-sure to reduce before removingfiller cap.

The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most pur-poses. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depen-ding on the temperatures at whichthe oils 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/SJquality (for petrol engines), orCD/CF quality (for diesel engines)may be used by following the'Arduous Conditions' maintenanceschedule which specifies shorterintervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a PEUGEOT dealer to main-tain driving pleasure and to minimi-se the maintenance cost of yourvehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.
