Coolant Level - PEUGEOT 208 Handbook

Coolant level

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.
The cooling fan may start after switching
off the engine: take care with articles and
clothing that might become caught by the
fan blades.
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.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at
routine services.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
