Particle emission fi lter
saturation warning light
(Diesel engine)
With the engine running, this indicates
that the particle emission fi lter is start-
ing to become saturated (exceptionally
prolonged urban driving type condi-
tions: low speed, long traffi c jams...) or
a low diesel additive reservoir level.
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you are
advised to drive, as soon as possible
when the traffi c conditions permit, at a
speed of 40 mph (60 km/h) or above
for at least fi ve minutes (until the warn-
ing light is switched off).
If the warning light remains on, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Following prolonged use of the vehi-
cle at very low speeds or at idle, you
may, exceptionally, notice an emission
of water vapour at the exhaust dur-
ing acceleration. This does not affect
the performance of the vehicle or the
environment.
Service warning light
This is displayed to indicate an engine
management system fault.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible. Automatic gearbox fault

Operating check
This is confi rmed by the switch light
and the indicator lights. ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SUSPENSION Manual selection of the SPORT
position
The suspension adapts automatically
and instantly to different driving styles
and road characteristics, improving
the comfort of the occupants and the
vehicle's road holding capabilities.
The suspension favours smooth shock
absorption, ensuring a comfortable
ride, but as soon as conditions demand
a change (sporty driving, tight bends,
avoidance action, etc.) it automatically
selects fi rmer shock absorption, guar-
anteeing optimum road holding.

CHECKS
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Have the fi lter elements
replaced regularly. If you drive
in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that the particle emis-
sion fi 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 circumstances,
notice emissions of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
have any effect on the performance of
the vehicle or the environment.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan as-
sembly may operate after the vehicle
has stopped, even when the engine is
cold. Where the handbrake travel is
too great or there is a reduc-
tion in the performance of the
system, the handbrake should
be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake
Disc wear status
For any information relating to checking
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF
(PETROL) *
As a safety precaution, in certain circum-stances, a mechanism prevents fuel from reaching the engine. To re-establish the fuel supply:
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is neces-
sary to re-prime the circuit.
The repriming pump and the degas
screw are located under the bonnet
(see corresponding illustration in the
technical data section):
1.6 litre 16V HDI engine
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve
litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears
in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
2 litre 16V HDI engine
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of diesel,
- unscrew the degas screw,
- squeeze and release the manual repriming pump until diesel is seen
escaping via the degas screw,
- retighten the degas screw,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Brake pad wear depends on
the style of driving, in particu-
lar for vehicles which are used
in town, over short distances.
Brake pads It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
* According to version.
To ensure the best perfor-
mance from components as
important as the power steer-
ing and the braking system, the
manufacturer selects and offers specifi c
products, only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT .
Battery
To prevent damage to the electrical units,
high pressure washing of the engine
compartment is strictly prohibited .
