CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corresponding system checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
OIL LEVEL
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator on the instrument panel, or
using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition
with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel will only be valid
30 minutes after topping up.
It is normal to top up the oil level between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the oil level and top up if necessary
every 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Engine oil change
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of the interval
for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control
system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
The brake fl uid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fluid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of the interval
for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fl uid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
The power steering fl uid level should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the engine cold, to check the level.
When working under the bonnet, take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).
Oil specification
The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
