Check the level with the vehicle level, engine cold, using the oil level gauge on the instrument panel or the dipstick. There are two marks on the dipstick: A = maximum Never ill past this mark. B = minimum Dipstick Oil change According to the information given in the servicing booklet. Changing the brake luid The brake luid must be changed at the intervals stated, according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule. Use luids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulil DOT4 standards. Windscreen and headlamp* wash level For best quality cleaning and for your safety, we would advise that you use products recommended by PEUGEOT. * According to country. Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's requirements. Cooling system Use the luid recommended by the manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can op- erate with the ignition key removed and because the cooling system is pressurised, wait for at least one hour after the engine has stopped before carrying out any work. Slacken the cap by two turns to re- lease the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level. Note: the coolant does not need to be changed. Used oil Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the skin. Brake luid is harmful to health and very corrosive. To maintain the reliability of engines and emission control systems, the use of additives in engine oil is prohibited. Do not dispose of used oil, brake luid or coolant into drains or into the ground. |
