CHECKS

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil

or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to

health or indeed very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or fl uids into

sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualifi ed workshop (France) or to

an authorised waste disposal site.

Used products

Screenwash and headlamp

wash fluid

In the case of vehicles fi tted

with headlamp washers, the

low fl uid level is indicated by an

audible signal and a message

in the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you stop the

vehicle.

Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid

freezing, this fl uid must not be topped

up with or replaced with plain water.

Additive level (Diesel with

particle emissions filter)

Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up with-

out delay by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualifi ed workshop.

The additive reservoir low

level is indicated by fi xed illu-

mination of this warning lamp,

accompanied by an audible

signal and a message that the

particle emissions fi lter addi-

tive level is too low.

176

CHECKS

12 V battery

The battery does not require any

maintenance.
However, check that the terminals

are clean and correctly tightened,

particularly in summer and winter.

When carrying out work on the battery, re-

fer to the "Practical information" section for

details of the precautions to be taken before

disconnecting the battery and following its

reconnection.

The presence of this label, in particular

with the Stop & Start system, indicates

the use of a specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-

tery with special technology and specifi -

cation. The involvement of a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is essen-

tial when replacing or disconnecting the

battery.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the

particle emissions fi lter is in-

dicated by the temporary illu-

mination of this warning lamp,

accompanied by an audible

signal and a message on the risk of

blockage of the particle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions per-

mit, regenerate the fi lter by driving at a

speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until

the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the

"Additive level" section.

On a new vehicle, the fi rst particle

fi lter regeneration operations may

be accompanied by a "burning"

smell, which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of

the vehicle at very low speed or at

idle, you may, in exceptional cir-

cumstances, notice the emission

of water vapour at the exhaust on

acceleration. This does not affect

the behaviour of the vehicle or the

environment.

Unless otherwise indicated, check these

components in accordance with the servic-

ing booklet and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-

shop.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter

Refer to the servicing booklet

for details of the replacement

intervals for these compo-

nents.
Depending on the environment

(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of

the vehicle (e.g. city driving),

replace

them twice as often if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter

may have an adverse effect on the per-

formance of the air conditioning system

and generate undesirable odours.

Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time

the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet

for details of the replacement

interval for this component.

177

CHECKS

Brake disc wear

Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the

style of driving, particularly in

the case of vehicles used in

town, over short distances. It

may be necessary to have the

condition of the brakes checked, even

between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a

drop in the brake fl uid level indicates

that the brake pads are worn.

For information on checking

brake disc wear, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

fi ed workshop.

Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not re-

quire any maintenance (no oil

change).
Refer to the servicing book-

let for the details of the level

checking interval for this com-

ponent.

6-speed electronic gearbox

The gearbox does not re-

quire any maintenance (no oil

change).
Refer to the servicing booklet

for details of the checking in-

terval for this component.

Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not re-

quire any maintenance (no oil

change).
Refer to the servicing booklet

for details of the level checking

interval for this component.

Only use products recommended

by PEUGEOT or products of equi-

valent quality and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation

of units as important as the brak-

ing system, PEUGEOT selects and

offers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical

units, the use of a high pressure

washer in the engine compartment

is strictly prohibited .

Parking brake

If excessive travel or a loss of

effectiveness of this system

is noticed, the parking brake

must be checked, even be-

tween two services.
