into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer
(France) or an authorised waste dis-
posal site.

CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the Warranty and Maintenance Record
and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for de-
tails of the replacement inter-
vals for these components.
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of
the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary (refer
to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours. Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that the maintenance of
the particle emission fi lter is carried out
by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for de-
tails of the replacement inter-
val for this component.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional cir-
cumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on
acceleration. This does not affect
the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer without delay.

style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
For information relating to
checking the brake disc wear,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking
brake must be checked, even
between two services.
This system must be checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indi-
cates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for as-
sistance.


Switch on the compressor by moving
the switch B to position "1" until the
tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.

 Remove the kit, taking care to avoid
to avoid staining your vehicle with
traces of fl uid. Keep the kit to hand.

 Drive immediately for approximately
three miles (fi ve kilometres), at
reduced speed (between 15 and
35 mph [20 and 60 km/h]), to plug
the puncture.

 Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.

 Turn the selector A to the AIR
position.

 Connect the black pipe D to the
valve of the wheel. You can use this kit for the routine
check and adjustment of the tyre
pressures on your vehicle. It can
also be used to infl ate other items
such as a ball or bicycle tyre.
To do this, turn the selector to the
"AIR" position, connect the black
pipe with the appropriate adapter

PRACTICAL INFORMATION Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre under-
infl ation detection, the under-infl ation
warning lamp will remain on after the
wheel has been repaired until the sys-
tem is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Take care, this product is harmful
(e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony,
ethanediol...) if swallowed and
causes irritation to the eyes. Keep
it out of reach of children.
The expiry date of the fl uid is indi-
cated on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed
for single use; even if only partly
used, it must be replaced.
To remove the cartridge, unscrew it
completely at its cap and pull off.

position "1" ; to defl ate: switch B in
position "0" and press button E ), in
accordance with the vehicle's tyre
pressure label (located on the left
hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for
assistance.

 Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h] max) limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 120 miles
(200 km).
