Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is essential that the particle emission
fi lter is maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule,
by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Note : following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional circum-
stances, notice emissions of water va-
pour at the exhaust on acceleration.
This does not have any effect on the
performance of the vehicle or the en-
vironment.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the cooling fan may
operate after the vehicle has stopped,
even when the engine is cold. Where the parking brake trav-
el is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance of
the system, the parking brake
should be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
