CHECKS
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT
or products of equivalent
quality and speciications.
To ensure best perfor-
mance from components as im-
portant as the power steering and
the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers quite speciic
products.
To prevent damage to the electri-
cal units, avoid washing the en -
gine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is neces -
sary to re-prime the circuit:
- ill the fuel tank with at least ive litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe
under the bonnet,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Brake pads
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.
Disc wear status
For any information relating to check-
ing the disc wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter
Change the ilter regularly, in accor-
dance with the servicing schedule.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the ilter elements replaced reg -
ularly. If you drive in dusty condi-
tions, change them twice as often.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
104 -
BATTERY
To charge the battery using a
battery charger:
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger
manufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect
them and clean them.
- Wait for 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before
disconnecting the
battery.
- Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
- Never charge a battery without irst disconnecting the
terminals.
- Close the windows and the roof before disconnecting the
battery.
- After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the
electronic systems to be
initialised. If slight dificulties
are experienced after this,
please consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is not to be
used for a period of more than
one month.
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
functions (windscreen wiper, elec
-
tric windows, courtesy lights, audio
equipment, etc.) can only be used for
a combined duration of approximately
thirty minutes, to prevent discharging
the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
switching to economy mode mes -
sage appears on the multi-function
display and the active functions are
put on standby.
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the duration for which the en -
gine is left running. However, this pe -
riod will always be between ive and
thirty minutes.
To start the vehicle from another
battery:
- Connect the red cable to the
positive (+) terminals of the
two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an
earth point on the broken down
vehicle, as far as possible from
the battery (for example, right-
hand engine mounting),
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
A lat battery prevents the
engine from starting.
