CHECKS 
Air filter and passenger compartment filter 
 
A clogged passenger compartment filter 
may reduce the performance of the 
air conditioning system and generate 
undesirable odours. The replacement 
intervals for these components are indicated 
in the servicing booklet. 
  Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle 
(urban driving...), change them twice as 
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the 
bonnet" section of chapter 7.  
 
 
Manual gearbox
 
Have the level checked in accordance with 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to 
the pages of the servicing booklet which 
correspond to your vehicle's engine. 
  Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality 
and specification. 
  In order to optimise the operation of units as 
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT 
selects and offers specific products. 
  In order to avoid damaging the electrical 
units, high pressure washing to clean the 
engine compartment is strictly prohibited. 
   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.  
 
 
Bleeding the water contained in 
the Diesel filter 
  If this warning lamp comes on, 
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed 
regularly each time the engine oil 
is changed. 
  To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed 
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located 
at the base of the filter. Leave open until 
all of the water has been drained out. Then 
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor. 
  HDi engines use advanced technology. All 
work requires a special qualification which is 
guaranteed by a PEUGEOT dealer.  
 
 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 system, a drop 
in the brake fluid level indicates that the 
brake pads are worn.  
Brake disc/drum wear status
 
For any information relating to checking 
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer.  
 
 
Oil filter 
 
Change the filter regularly, in accordance 
with the servicing schedule.
