Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
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 on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.

If the parking brake travel is
too long or if you notice a loss
of effectiveness of this sys-

shop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
