CHECKING LEVELS



















OIL LEVEL


The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start
at any time (even with the ignition off).



If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the servicing booklet and the requirements of the warranties. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.


Engine oil change

Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet 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. It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil
changes). PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and
top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with
the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the
30 minutes after topping up.


Oil specification

The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.












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 servicing and warranty booklet for details of the interval
for this operation.


Fluid specification

The brake fl uid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT3 or DOT4 standard.












POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

The power steering fl uid level should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
