Carbon filter and passenger 
compartment filter 
  An access fl ap below the glove box 
permits replacement of the fi lters. 
  The carbon fi lter permits continuous 
and effective fi ltering of dust. 
  If the passenger compartment fi lter 
becomes blocked, this may reduce the 
performance of the air conditioning 
system and generate unpleasant 
odours. 
  We recommend the use of a combined 
passenger compartment fi lter. By 
means of its second special active 
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation 
of the air breathed by the occupants 
and the cleanness of the passenger 
compartment (reduction of allergic 
symptoms, unpleasant odours and 
greasy deposits). 
   
Particle emission filter (Diesel) 
 
maintenance of the particle emission 
fi lter must be carried out by a 
PEUGEOT dealer. 
  On acceleration after the vehicle has 
been running for a prolonged period 
at very low speed or at idle, you may, 
in exceptional circumstances, notice 
the emission of water vapour at the 
exhaust. This water vapour does not 
have any adverse effect on vehicle 
handling or the environment.  
 
 
Battery 
 
At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.  
 
 
Brake pads 
 
Brake pad wear depends on the style 
of driving, in particular for vehicles 
which are used in town, over short 
distances. It may be necessary to 
check the thickness of the pads, even 
between 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/drum wear 
 
For information on checking the brake 
disc/drum wear, consult a PEUGEOT 
dealer.  
 
 
Parking brake 
 
Where the parking brake travel is too 
great or there is a reduction in the 
performance of the system, the parking 
brake should be adjusted, even 
between services. 
  Have the system checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer.  
 
 
Oil filter 
 
Change the fi lter regularly in 
accordance with the servicing 
schedule.     Refer to the servicing booklet for 
the replacement interval for these 
components. 
  Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the 
vehicle (urban driving...), change them 
twice as often if necessary.
