CHECKS

Brake disc wear














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

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
On a new vehicle, the fi rst few
particle emissions fi lter regen-
erations may be accompanied
by a "burning" smell, which is perfect-
ly normal. Following prolonged oper-
ation of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice water vapour
from the exhaust on acceleration.
This does not affect the performance
of the vehicle or the environment.


Dust filter/Anti-odour filter
(activated carbon)
Your vehicle is fi tted with a fi lter which
traps certain dust and limits odours in
the ventilation and air conditioning.
Refer to the servicing booklet for its re-
placement interval.
Do not hesitate to change it if you notice
unpleasant odours, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may reduce the performance of the air
conditioning system and produce un-
pleasant odours.
