regularly.

It may be necessary to check the thickness of the pads, even betweenservices. Handbrake Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in theperformance of the system, thehandbrake should be adjusted, evenbetween services. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter

mended by PEUGEOT.

ce from components as important as the power steering and the bra-king system, PEUGEOT selectsand offers quite specific products.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL) If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary to re-prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
- operate the manual re-priming pump, under the bonnet under the
protective cover, until fuel appearsin the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF (PETROL) In a serious collision, a mechanism prevents fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press the switch on the corner of the front
