Levels
CHECKS
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
vehicle’s engine.
Only use products recommended
by PEUGEOT or products
of equivalent quality and
characteristics.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
circuit, PEUGEOT selects and offers
speciic products.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
Oil filter
Change the ilter regularly, in
accordance with the servicing
schedule. Refer to the "Under the bonnet"
section of chapter 7.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that particle emission
ilter maintenance is carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake luid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to
checking the brake disc/drum wear
status, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
The carbon ilter permits continuous
and effective iltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment ilter
becomes clogged, this may reduce
the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment ilter. By
means of its second special active
ilter, it contributes to the puriication
of the air breathed by the occupants
and to the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Refer to the servicing booklet to ind
out the replacement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance
with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
