CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your
battery checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Oil lter
Change the lter regularly, in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best performance
from components as important as the power steering and the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects
and offers quite specic products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit:
- ll the fuel tank with at least ve
litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual
re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF
(PETROL)
In a serious collision, a mechanism
prevents fuel from reaching the
engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press
the switch on the corner of the front
right-hand suspension assembly,
under the bonnet.
Air lter and passenger
compartment lter
Have the lter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice as
often.
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.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level 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.
