Practical information
7system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Diesel fuel filter
Change the Diesel fuel filter according to
the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
A clogged Diesel fuel filter can reduce engine performance and damage the
injection system.
Bleeding water from the Diesel fuel
filter
If this warning lamp comes on, bleed the
filter. Otherwise, bleed regularly at each
engine oil change.
–
T
o drain the water, unscrew the bleed screw
located under the filter.
–
Operate it until all the water in the transparent
tube has drained, then tighten the bleed screw
again.
For more information on the Engine
compartment, in particular the location
of the Diesel fuel filter, refer to the
corresponding section.
Particle filter (Diesel)
(Depending on version)
With HDi Diesel engine
The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert
message.
With BlueHDi Diesel engine
The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary
flashing of the first warning lamp and the
temporary lighting of the second warning lamp,
accompanied by an alert message.
As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37
mph
(60
km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500
rpm, for about 20
minutes (until the warning lamp
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37
mph (60 km/h),
leave the engine running at idle for about
20
minutes, then drive with an engine speed
above 2,500 rpm for 20
minutes.
Do not switch off the engine until the filter
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is
stationary is not recommended.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
For any information on gearbox
maintenance, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
BlueHDi Diesel engine
► Switch off the engine and the ignition.
► Place a container below the Diesel fuel filter .
►
Remove the retaining clamp 1
, then unscrew
and remove the Diesel fuel filter 2 with a suitable
wrench.
►
Clean the seal face using a clean, lint-free
cloth.
►
Screw the new filter back on, making sure
that the seal is correctly positioned against the
contact surface.
►
T
ighten the Diesel fuel filter correctly with
your hands, without forcing it, to avoid leaks.
►
Put the retaining clamp 1
back in place.
After the operation, bleed the air contained in the fuel system.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel) and in particular the procedure for
bleeding the Diesel fuel system, refer to the
corresponding section.
Cleaning the throttle body
Removing the throttle body
Petrol and BlueHDi Diesel engines
HDi Diesel engine
► Switch off the engine and the ignition.
► Disconnect connector 1
from the throttle
body.
►
Loosen the clamp 2
on the air hose.
►
Disconnect the air hose A
from the throttle
body.
►
Unscrew and remove the screws 3
fixing the
throttle body to the air intake manifold.
►
Remove the throttle body B
, ensuring that the
seal does not fall.
When the throttle body is removed,
always make sure that no debris or dust
enters the engine air intake pipe or the intake
manifold - risk of serious damage to the
engine!
Never start the engine when the throttle body
is removed.
Cleaning the throttle body
Before cleaning, make sure that you
correctly protect the electrical connector
of the throttle body against any projection of
liquid (oil, water, detergent or solvent).
►
Remove grease and carbon deposits from
the surface of the main duct with a specific
"carburettor" type cleaner
.
►
Rotate the throttle valve inside the duct to
clean the seats on each side.
►
Wipe and dry the throttle body with a soft,
lint-free cloth.
If no cleaning has been done for a long
time, deposits may be difficult to remove.
Clean and wipe the throttle body several
times with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Never immerse the throttle body in a
cleaning liquid or in an ultrasonic tank.
Never use:
