Practical information

For more information on the Indicators and in

particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to

the corresponding section.

To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in

accordance with regulations, you must top up the

AdBlue tank.

and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to

the corresponding section.

clean.

Oil ﬁlter

Change the oil ﬁlter each time the engine

oil is changed.

For more information on the precautions

to take before any work on the 12 V

battery, refer to the corresponding section.

Particle ﬁlter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the particle ﬁlter

is signalled by the temporary illumination

of this warning lamp, accompanied by a

message warning of the risk of the ﬁlter clogging

up.

Versions equipped with Stop & Start are

ﬁtted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of

speciﬁc technology and speciﬁcation.

Its replacement should be carried out only by

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Checks

Unless otherwise indicated, check these

components in accordance with the

manufacturer's service schedule and according

to your engine.

As soon as the traﬃc conditions permit,

regenerate the ﬁlter by driving at a speed of at

least 37 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp

goes oﬀ.

Passenger compartment

ﬁlter

Depending on the environment and the

use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,

city driving), change it twice as often, if

necessary.

If the warning lamp stays on, this

indicates a low Diesel additive level.

For more information on Checking levels,

refer to the corresponding section.

Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Only use products recommended by

PEUGEOT or products of equivalent

quality and speciﬁcation.

In order to optimise the operation of

components as important as those in the

braking system, PEUGEOT selects and oﬀers

very speciﬁc products.

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

wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

maintenance (no oil change).

can cause the ESC to mistime.

Wheels and tyres

The inﬂation pressure of all tyres,

including the spare wheel, must be

checked on "cold” tyres.

The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure

label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven

for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles

(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add

0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the

label.

This system does not require any routine

servicing. However, in the event of a

problem, do not hesitate to have the system

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

Shock absorbers

It is not easy for drivers to detect when

shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,

the shock absorbers have a major impact on

road-holding and braking performance.

For your safety and driving comfort, it is

important to have them regularly checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

For more information on the Electric

parking brake, refer to the

corresponding section.

Timing and accessory kits

Under-inﬂation increases fuel

consumption. Non-compliant tyre

pressure causes premature wear on tyres and

has an adverse eﬀect on the vehicle's road

holding - risk of an accident!

Brake pads

Timing and accessory kits are used from

the time the engine is started until it is

switched oﬀ. It is normal for them to wear over

time.

Brake wear depends on the style of

driving, particularly in the case of vehicles

used in town, over short distances. It may be

necessary to have the condition of the brakes

checked, even between vehicle services.

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the

brake ﬂuid level indicates that the brake pads

are worn.

A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage

the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the

recommended replacement frequency, stated in

distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is

reached ﬁrst.

Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the

braking and road holding performance of the

vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the

condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and

wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.

When the wear indicators no longer appear set
