Changing The Coolant - PEUGEOT 208 Handbook

Checks
The coolant level should be close
to the "MAX" mark but should never
exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan. This can
operate with the ignition off.
For vehicles fitted with a particle emissions
filter, the cooling fan may continue to
run after stopping the vehicle, even if the
engine is cold.
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 pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
