Brake Fluid Level; Coolant Level - PEUGEOT 5008 2017 Handbook

Topping up the engine oil level
The location of the oil filler cap is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F Unscrew the oil filler cap to access the filler
opening.
F Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).
F Wait a few minutes before checking the
level again using the dipstick.
F Add more oil if necessary.
F After checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
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.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.

Brake fluid level

The fluid level should be close to the
"MAX" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Changing the coolant
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

Coolant level

Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MAX"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
Practical information
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
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 the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
