LEVELS

These regular maintenance
operations will keep your vehicle in
good running order. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or the servicing booklet enclosed in
the handbook pack.
If you have to remove/refit the engine
style cover, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fixing clips.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall
below this mark.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use of additives in
engine oil is prohibited.
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at
the intervals specified and the viscosity
grade of the oil selected must fulfil
the requirements in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask
for advice from a PEUGEOT dealer.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
For the 2 litre HDi engine, use the funnel
supplied when filling via the sump opening.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the max mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed
at the intervals stated, according to
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a fault which must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
