style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the

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.

quire any maintenance (no oil

Electric parking brake
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 regenera-
tions may be accompanied by a
"burning" smell, which is perfectly nor-
mal. Following prolonged operation 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 envi-
ronment.
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 Warranty and Maintenance
Record for its replacement interval.
Do not hesitate to change it if you notice
unpleasant odours, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may reduce the performance of the air
conditioning system and produce un-
pleasant odours.
