Regular replacement of the filter ele-

very dusty conditions, change it
twice as often.
Oil filter
Replace the cartridge regularly in

Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the
style of driving, in particular for vehi-
cles that are used in town, for short
journeys.
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads even between
services.
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.
