ance with the manufacturer’s servic-
ing schedule.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
Brake pads
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 ve-
hicle’s engine.
If the engine stops, it is pos-
sible to restart it to drive a
short distance by operating
the pump at least 10 times.
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit must
be reprimed:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five li-
tres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual
repriming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the protective
cover which must first be unclipped
and then removed,
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and characteristics.
Disc and drum wear status
For any information relating to disc
and drum surface wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
In order to optimise the
operation of units as important as the
braking circuit, PEUGEOT selects
and offers specific products.
- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
In order to avoid damaging the elec-
trical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
Handbrake
Notes: if the engine does
not start after approximately
15 seconds of attempts, oper-
ate the repriming pump again
approximately fifteen times before
trying again.
If the emission control warning light has
come on, it will only switch off after your
vehicle has been used several times.
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.
