Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the warranty
and maintenance record and according to your
engine.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for details of
the replacement intervals for these
components.
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the multi-
function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp
goes off.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 filter may
have an adverse effect on the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.
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.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a
low additive level.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the precautions to
be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its
reconnection.
Oil filter
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter 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 circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.

The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid
battery with special technology and
specification. The involvement of
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is essential when replacing or
disconnecting the battery.
