Checks
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the servicing booklet.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Oil filter
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the
bonnet" section of chapter 7.
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
CHECKS
Manual gearbox
Bleeding the water contained in
the Diesel filter
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Brake pads
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Leave open until
all of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers specific products.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
