regularly. If you drive in dusty con-
ditions, change them twice asoften. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehi-cles which are used in town, overshort distances. It may be necessary to check the thickness of the pads, even betweenservices.

PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter
