CHECKS

116

CHECKS

Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction  in  the  performance
of  the  system,  the  hand-
brake  should  be  adjusted,

even between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Particle emission filter
(Diesel)

It is imperative that the particle emis-

sion i lter 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  cases,
notice  discharges  of  water  vapour
at  the  exhaust  on  acceleration. This
has no effect on the behaviour of the
vehicle or on the environment.

Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.

Disc and drum wear status

For any information relating to the wear
status of the surfaces of the discs and
drums, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and characteristics.
To ensure best performance

from components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, PEUGEOT selects and offers

quite specii c products.
To  prevent  damage  to  the  electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean
the  engine  compartment  is  strictly
prohibited .

Oil filter

Used products

Avoid all prolonged contact of the
used oil with the skin.
Brake l uid is harmful to health and

very corrosive.

Air filter and passenger
compartment filter

Do not dispose of used oil,

brake l uid or coolant into

drains or onto the ground.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this

purpose in the PEUGEOT network.

Battery

At  the  start  of  winter,  have
your  battery  checked  by  a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Brake pads

It  may  be  necessary  to
check  the  thickness  of  the
pads,  even  between  ser-
vices.

Handbrake

Change the i lter regularly,

in accordance with the ser-
vicing schedule.

Manual gearbox

This does not require an oil
change. Have the level checked
in accordance with the manu-
facturer’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 vehi-

cle’s engine.

Have the i lter elements re-

placed regularly. If you drive

in dusty conditions, change

them twice as often.
