CHECKS
Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance
of the system, the hand-
brake should be adjusted,
even between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Particle emission filter
(Diesel)
It is imperative that the particle emis-
sion i lter is maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Note: following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional cases,
notice discharges of water vapour
at the exhaust on acceleration. This
has no effect on the behaviour of the
vehicle or on the environment. Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.
Disc and drum wear status
For any information relating to the wear
status of the surfaces of the discs and
drums, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and characteristics.
To ensure best performance
from components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, PEUGEOT selects and offers
quite specii c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment is strictly

prohibited .
Oil filter
Used products
Avoid all prolonged contact of the
used oil with the skin.
Brake l uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake l uid or coolant into
drains or onto the ground.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this
purpose in the PEUGEOT network.
Battery
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Brake pads
It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the
pads, even between ser-
vices.
Handbrake
Change the i lter regularly,
in accordance with the ser-
vicing schedule.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil
change. Have the level checked
in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule.


To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servicing
schedule, refer to the
pages of the servicing booklet
which correspond to your vehi-
cle’s engine.

Have the i lter elements re-
placed regularly.
If you drive
in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
