Practical information
Automatic gearbox
For more information on the precautions to
take before any work on the 12 V battery,
refer to the corresponding section.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the corresponding
section.
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specifications.
Its replacement should be carried out only by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
Brake pads
The inflation pressure of all tyres,
including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold" tyres.The pressures
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.
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.
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.
Under-inflation increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident!
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Air filter
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
Depending on the environment and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty
atmosphere, city driving), change it
twice as often, if necessary.
Brake disc wear
For any information on checking brake
disc/drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as 7
possible.
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse effect on road
holding.

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
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
