CHECKS
Levels and checks
  Manual  gearbox 
 Have the level checked in accordance with 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  Good  practice 
 To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to 
the pages of the warranty and maintenance 
record 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. 
  Oil  filter 
 Change the filter regularly, in accordance 
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  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. 
  Brake  disc/drum wear status 
 For any information relating to checking 
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
  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 or a qualified workshop.  
 If this warning lamp comes on, 
have the brake pad wear checked 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified  workshop.    In order to avoid damaging the 
electrical units, high pressure washing 
to clean the engine compartment is strictly 
prohibited. 
 After washing the vehicle dampness, or in 
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and 
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. 
Make some light brake applications to dry 
and de-ice the brakes.

   Discharged  battery   
  The charging operation must be carried 
out in a ventilated area away from 
naked flames or any possible sources of 
sparks to eliminate the risk of explosion and 
fire. 
 Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it 
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of 
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before 
charging it have it checked by a specialist 
who will check that the internal components 
have not been damaged and that the 
container is not cracked, which could mean 
that there is a risk of a leak of toxic and 
corrosive acid. 
 Proceed with a slow charge charge at low 
current for a maximum pf about 24 hours to 
avoid damaging the battery.      The batteries contain harmful 
substances such as sulphuric acid and 
lead. They must be discarded in accordance 
with the provisions of the law and must not, 
in any circumstances, be discarded with 
household waste. 
 Take used batteries to a special collection 
point.  
  Before disconnecting the battery, you must 
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the 
ignition. 
 Never disconnect a terminal when the 
engine is running. 
 Never charge a battery without first 
disconnecting the terminals. 
 Close the windows and doors before 
disconnecting the battery. 
 After every reconnection of the battery, 
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute 
before starting to allow the electronic 
systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties 
are experienced after this, please contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
 Unscrew the 6 access cover retaining 
screws. 
 Lift off or remove completely the access 
cover. 
 Press lever  
1  downwards to spread the 
clamp. 
 Remove the terminal   2  from the negative (-) 
post.
