CHECKS

Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

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.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop

in the brake fluid level indicates that the

brake pads are worn.

Brake disc / drum wear

For any information on checking the brake

disc / drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Parking brake

Where the parking brake travel is too great

or there is a reduction in the performance

of the system, the parking brake should be

adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance

with the servicing schedule.

Carbon filter and passenger

compartment filter

The carbon fi lter permits continuous and

effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter becomes

clogged, this may reduce the performance

of the air conditioning system and generate

unpleasant odours.
We recommend the use of a combined

passenger compartment fi lter. By means of

its second special active fi lter, it contributes

to the purifi cation of the air breathed by the

occupants and the cleanness of the passenger

compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms,

unpleasant odours and greasy deposits).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet

to fi nd out the replacement interval for these

components.
Depending on the environment (dusty

atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle

(urban driving...), change them twice as often

if necessary.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

This filter actively contributes

to the preservation of air quality

by trapping unburnt polluting

particles. It is controlled

completely and automatically by the engine

management system.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk

of blockage of the filter.
This alert signals the start of saturation of

the particle emissions filter (exceptionally

prolonged driving in urban conditions:

reduced speed, traffic jams…).
If this alert persists, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been

running for a prolonged period at very low

speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional

circumstances, notice the emission of water

vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour

does not have any adverse effect on vehicle

handling or the environment.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended

that as soon as driving conditions permit,

you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph

(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the

warning lamp goes off and/or the message

disappears).

Refer to "Under the bonnet" in

section 6.

128

Checks

Manual gearbox

Have the level checked in accordance with

the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

Good practice

To check the main levels and certain

components, in accordance with the

manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to

the pages of the warranty and maintenance

record which correspond to your vehicle's

engine.

Only use products recommended by

PEUGEOT or products of equivalent

quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as

important as the braking system, PEUGEOT

selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical

units, high pressure washing to clean the

engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in

winter, ice may form on the brake discs and

pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.

Make some light brake applications to dry

and de-ice the brakes.

1.6 litre HDi

2 litre HDi

Bleeding the water contained in the

Diesel filter

If this warning lamp comes on,

bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed

regularly each time the engine oil

is changed.

To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed

screw located on the end of the transparent

pipe.
Operate until all of the water in the

transparent pipe has been drained out then

tighten the bleed screw.
HDi engines use advanced technology.
Contact a PEUGEOT or a qualified

workshop for all work on the system.

During this regeneration, you may notice

that the idling speed is higher than normal

and that the cooling fan is running. As

operation of the exhaust emissions controls

may cause the exhaust gas temperature to

reach very high levels, it is recommended

that you do not stop the vehicle over easily

inflammable surfaces (dry grass and leaves,

pine needles, edge of a meadow or forest).

129

Maintenance with TOTAL

CHECKS

Fuel

FILLING WITH FUEL

Filling with fuel
The fuel tank must be filled

with the

engine off .

When this warning lamp fi rst comes

on and when the needle is at the

start of the red zone, the minimum

fuel tank level has been reached.

At this moment, you have

approximately

8 litres of fuel remaining.
Fill up without delay to avoid running out of fuel.

When filling with fuel, do not open the

left-hand side door, if fitted on your

vehicle, as there is a risk of damage to the

fuel filler flap.

Never continue to drive until you run

out of fuel as this may damage the

emission control and injection systems.

Low fuel level

It is normal to hear the noise of an inrush

of air when the cap is opened as there is a

vacuum caused by the sealing of the fuel

system.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap

reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
More than 8 litres of fuel must be added in

order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue

after the 3

rd

cut-off of the nozzle. This could

cause malfunctions.

The capacity of the fuel tank is

approximately 80 litres.
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap

and close the flap.

You can lock this door using the

electric child lock. Refer to "Access"

in section of 2.

-

Open the fuel filler flap.

Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.

- Remove the cap and hook it onto the

clip located on the inside of the flap.

Snow chains

SNOW CHAINS

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve

traction as well as the behaviour of the

vehicle when braking.

The snow chains must be fitted only to

the driving wheels. They must never be

fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.

Take account of the legislation in force

in your country on the use of snow

chains and the maximum running speed

authorised.

Advice on installation
 If you have to fit the chains during

a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat

surface on the side of the road.

 Apply the parking brake and position any

wheel chocks to prevent movement of

your vehicle.

 Fit the chains following the instructions

provided by the manufacturer.

 Move off gently and drive for a few

moments, without exceeding 30 mph

(50 km/h).

 Stop your vehicle and check that the

snow chains are correctly tightened.

Avoid driving on roads that have been

cleared of snow, to avoid damaging

your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It

is recommended that before you leave, you

practise fitting the snow chains on a level

and dry surface. If your vehicle is fitted with

alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain

or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.

Use only the chains designed to be fitted to

the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
