CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Have the filter elements
replaced regularly. If you drive
in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that the particle emission
filter is maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer’s servicing schedule,
by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Note: following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice emissions of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
have any effect on the performance of
the vehicle or the environment.
On vehicles which are fitted with
a particle emission filter, the fan
assembly may operate after the
vehicle has stopped, even when the
engine is cold.
Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a
reduction in the performance
of the system, the handbrake
should be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake
To ensure the best perfor-
mance from components as
important as the power stee-
ring and the braking system,
the manufacturer selects and offers
specific products, only use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF
(PETROL)*
As a safety precaution, in certain
circumstances, a mechanism prevents
fuel from reaching the engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply :
press the red button on the angle
of the front right-hand suspension
assembly, under the bonnet.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit.
The repriming pump and the degas
screw are located under the bonnet
(see corresponding illustration in the
technical data section):
1.6 litre 16V HDI engine
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres
of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual repriming pump, until fuel appears in
the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
2 litre 16V HDI engine
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres
of diesel,
- unscrew the degas screw,
- squeeze and release the manual
repriming pump until diesel is seen
escaping via the degas screw,
- retighten the degas screw,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
Brake pad wear depends on
the style of driving, in particular
for vehicles which are used in
town, over short distances.
Brake pads
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
