CHECKS
121
  Avoid any prolonged contact of 
used oil or fl uids with the skin. 
  Most of these fl uids are harmful to 
health or indeed very corrosive. 
  Do not discard used oil or fl uids 
into sewers or onto the ground. 
  Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualifi ed workshop (France) or 
an authorised waste disposal site.  
 
 
Diesel additive level (Diesel with 
particle emission filter) 
  The minimum level of this additive is in-
dicated by lighting of the service warning 
lamp, accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message on the multifunction 
screen. 
   
Used products 
 
Unless otherwise indicated, check 
these components in accordance with 
the servicing booklet and in relation to 
your engine. 
  Otherwise, have them checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. 
 
 
Battery 
 
The battery does not require 
any maintenance. 
   
However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly 
tightened, particularly in sum-
mer and winter. 
  When carrying out work on the battery, 
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be 
taken before disconnecting the battery 
and following its reconnection.  
 
 
Air filter and passenger compartment filter 
 
Refer to the servicing booklet 
for details of the replacement 
intervals for these compo-
nents. 
  Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use 
of the vehicle (city driving...),  replace 
them twice as often if necessary 
. 
  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) 
 
Illumination of the service warning lamp togeth-
er with a related message indicates the start of 
saturation of the particle emissions fi lter. 
 
 
Oil filter 
 
Replace the oil fi lter each time 
the engine oil is changed. 
  Refer to the servicing booklet 
for details of the replacement 
interval for this component.     As soon as the driving conditions 
permit, regenerate the fi lter by driv-
ing at a speed of at least 35 mph 
(60 km/h) until the service warning 
lamp goes off. 
  Maintenance of the particle emis-
sion fi lter must be carried out by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop. 
  Following prolonged operation of 
the vehicle at very low speed or at 
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice 
the emission of water vapour at the 
exhaust on acceleration. This does 
not have any adverse effect on the 
performance of the vehicle or on 
the environment.      
Topping up 
  This additive must be topped up by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed  work-
shop without delay.
