CHECKING LEVELS

Check all of these levels regularly and

top them up if necessary, unless other-

wise indicated.

If a level drops significantly, have the

corresponding circuit checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Brake fluid level

In addition, as the cooling system is

pressurised, wait at least one hour after

switching off the engine before carrying

out any work.

To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew

the cap by two turns to allow the pres-

sure to drop. When the pressure has

dropped, remove the cap and top up

the level.

Oil level

The reading will only be correct

if the vehicle is on level ground

and the engine has been off for

more than 15 minutes.

The check is carried out either when the

ignition is switched on using the oil level

indicator on the instrument panel, or us-

ing the dipstick.

Between two oil changes, the consump-

tion should not exceed 0.5 litre per

600 miles (1,000 km).

The brake fluid level should be

close to the "MAX" mark. If it is

not, check the brake pad wear.

Draining the circuit

Refer to the servicing booklet for details

of the interval for this operation.

Power steering fluid level

The power steering fluid level

should be close to the "MAX"

mark. Unscrew the cap, with the

engine cold, to check the level.

Screenwash and headlamp

wash fluid

In the case of vehicles fitted

with headlamp washers, the

minimum level of this fluid is

indicated by an audible signal

and a message on the multifunction

display.

Top up the level when you stop the

vehicle.

Draining the engine

Refer to the servicing 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.

Oil specification

The oil must correspond to your engine

and conform to the manufacturer’s rec-

ommendations.

Fluid specification

The brake fluid must conform to the

manufacturer’s recommendations and

fulfil the DOT4 standards.

Draining the circuit

The coolant does not have to be

changed.

Fluid specification

For optimum cleaning and to avoid

freezing, this fluid must not be topped

up or replaced with water.

Coolant level

The coolant level should be

close to the "MAX" mark but

should never exceed it.

When the engine is warm, the tempera-

ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.

This can operate with the ignition off.

On vehicles which are fitted with a

particle emission filter, the fan may

operate after the vehicle has been

switched off, even if the engine is

cold.

Fluid specification

The coolant must conform to the manu-

facturer’s recommendations.

(refer to the "Engines" paragraph).

A clogged passenger compartment filter

may have an adverse effect on the per-

formance of the air conditioning system

and generate undesirable odours.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

It is imperative that the maintenance of

the particle emission filter is carried out

by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Brake disc wear status

Brake pads

Handbrake

Brake wear depends on the

style of driving, particularly in

the case of vehicles used in

town, over short distances. It

may be necessary to have the

condition of the brakes checked, even

between vehicle services.

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a

drop in the brake fluid level indicates

that the brake pads are worn.

For information relating to

checking the brake disc wear

status, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer.

If the handbrake travel is too

long or if a loss of effectiveness

of this system is noticed, the

handbrake must be adjusted,

even between two services.

This system must be checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not re-

quire any maintenance (no oil

change).

Refer to the servicing book-

let for the details of the level

checking interval for this com-

ponent.

The gearbox does not re-

quire any maintenance (no oil

change).

Refer to the servicing booklet

for details of the checking in-

terval for this component.
