Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter 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 or a
qualifi ed workshop.
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 or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
An access fl ap allows 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).
Refer to the servicing and warranty
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.

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.
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Only use products recommended
by PEUGEOT or products
of equivalent quality and
specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
specifi c products.
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 effi ciency may
be reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the fi lter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.
To drain the water, unscrew
the bleed screw located on the fi lter.
Operate until all of the water no longer
fl ows in the transparent pipe, then
tighten the bleed screw.
HDi engines use advanced technology.
All work requires special training, which
is assured by a PEUGEOT dealer.
