RUNNING OUT OF FUEL  
(DIESEL)  
Change the ilter regularly, in accor-  
dance with the servicing schedule.  
If you should run out of fuel, it is neces-  
sary to re-prime the circuit:  
At the start of winter, have your bat-  
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.  
-
ill the fuel tank with at least ive  
litres of diesel,  
-
squeeze and release the manual  
re-priming pump, until fuel  
appears in the transparent pipe  
under the bonnet,  
operate the starter until the  
engine starts.  
Air filter and passenger  
compartment filter  
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 cer-  
tain components, in accordance  
with the manufacturer's servicing  
schedule, refer to the pages of  
the servicing booklet which corre-  
spond to your vehicle's engine.  
Have the ilter elements replaced reg-  
ularly. If you drive in dusty condi-  
tions, 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.  
Only use products recom-  
mended by PEUGEOT  
or products of equivalent  
quality and speciications.  
To ensure best perfor-  
mance from components as im-  
portant as the power steering and  
the braking system, PEUGEOT  
selects and offers quite speciic  
products.  
Disc wear status  
For any information relating to check-  
ing the disc wear status, contact a  
PEUGEOT dealer.  
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.  
To prevent damage to the electri-  
cal units, avoid washing the en-  
gine.
