Additional Notes

  • The Panhard PL 17 hydraulic brake system holds a capacity of 0,4 liter across all listed variants and model years, a figure that reflects the total fluid volume of the brake circuit rather than a partial service top-up amount.
  • The 1959-1963 variants of both the standard PL 17 and the PL 17 Tiger carry only a capacity figure in their specifications, with no check or change intervals listed for those years.
  • From 1963 onward, both the standard PL 17 and the PL 17 Tiger share a brake fluid check interval of 1,500 km under normal use conditions.
  • The 1963-1965 specifications for both variants also introduce a change interval of 24,000 km under normal use conditions, a figure absent from the earlier 1959-1963 rows.
  • The 0,4 liter capacity figure remains unchanged between the 1959-1963 and 1963-1965 model years for both the standard and Tiger variants, indicating no alteration to the brake system volume across the production span covered by these specifications.
  • The PL 17 Tiger shares identical brake fluid capacity and, for the 1963-1965 period, identical check and change intervals with the standard PL 17, reflecting no differentiation in brake system servicing between the two trims.
