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.

- 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.
