Quick Help -> Changing a bulb for Your Peugeot Boxer Van First Generation (1994-2002)

Checks  
After prolonged idling or driving at very low  
speeds, you may occasionally notice water  
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when  
accelerating. This is of no consequence  
to the running of the vehicle or to the  
environment.  
Saturation / Regeneration  
If there is risk of blockage of the  
Particle filter system (Diesel)  
An addition to the catalytic converter, this  
filter makes an active contribution to the  
preservation of air quality by the retaining  
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black  
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.  
filter, this warning lamp comes on  
in the instrument panel.  
This alert tells you that the particle filter  
is starting to fill up (in conditions of urban  
driving of exceptionally long duration: low  
speeds, traffic jams etc.)  
Because of the higher exhaust gas  
temperature resulting from the normal  
operation of the particle filter, it is  
recommended that you do not park the  
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,  
dry leaves, pine needles, ...) so as to avoid  
any risk of fire.  
This filter, fitted to the exhaust system,  
accumulates particles of soot. The engine  
control unit manages the automatic  
periodic elimination of the soot particles  
(regeneration).  
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive  
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions  
and the law permit, at a speed of at least  
40 mph (around 60 km/h), with an engine  
speed above 2 000 rpm for about fifteen  
minutes (until the warning lamp and/or the  
message disappears).  
The regeneration procedure is invoked  
according to the quantity of particles  
accumulated and the driving conditions  
of the vehicle. During this phase, you  
may notice some unusual phenomena -  
increased idling speed, cooling fan running,  
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas  
temperature - which does not affect the  
operation of the vehicle or the environment.  
If possible, avoid switching off the engine  
before the end of regeneration of the  
filter; repeated interruptions could cause  
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It  
is not recommended to end regeneration of  
the filter with the vehicle stationary.  
Operating fault  
If this alert persists, do not ignore the  
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred  
in the exhaust / particle filter system.  
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.  
 
Maintenance with TOTAL  
Innovation at the service of performance  
The TOTAL Research and Development teams  
develop lubricants for PEUGEOT which satisfy the  
requirements of the latest technical innovations  
incorporated in PEUGEOT vehicles.  
This ensures that you obtain the best performance  
and the maximum engine life.  
Reduced exhaust emissions  
TOTAL lubricants are formulated to optimise the  
efficiency of engines and the protection of the  
emissions post-treatment systems. It is crucial to  
observe the servicing recommendations made by  
PEUGEOT to ensure correct operation.

Remove the cap and hook it onto the  
clip located on the inside of the flap.  
Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel  
outside the vehicle.  
A label affixed to the inside of the flap  
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.  
Restore the supply by pressing:  
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue  
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could  
cause malfunctions.

The capacity of the fuel tank is  
approximately 90 litres.  
FILLING WITH FUEL

After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap  
and close the flap.  
With Stop & Start, never refuel with  
the system in STOP mode; you must  
switch off the ignition with the key.  
Fuel tanks of different capacities,  
60 and 125 litres, may be fitted.

In low temperatures  
drive approximately 30 miles (50 km),  
depending on the driving conditions, the  
engine and the profile of the road. Fill up  
without delay to avoid running out of fuel.  
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is  
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited  
to low or minus temperatures.
