Particle emission fi lter
saturation warning lamp
(Diesel engine)
With the engine running, this indicates
that the particle emission fi lter is star-
ting to become saturated (exceptionally
prolonged urban driving type conditions:
low speed, long traffi c jams...) or a low
diesel additive reservoir level.
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you are
advised to drive, as soon as possible
when the traffi c conditions permit, at a
speed of 40 mph (60 km/h) or above
for at least fi ve minutes (until the war-
ning lamp is switched off).
If the warning lamp remains on, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Following prolonged use of the vehi-
cle at very low speeds or at idle, you
may, exceptionally, notice an emission
of water vapour at the exhaust during
acceleration. This does not affect the
performance of the vehicle or the en-
vironment.
Service warning lamp
This is displayed to indicate an engine
management system fault.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible. Automatic gearbox fault
warning lamp
This indicates an automatic gearbox
fault.
The gearbox will operate in down-
graded mode, locked in 3rd gear.
Never force the selector lever.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Electronically controlled
suspension fault warning
lamp
This indicates an electronically con-
trolled suspension malfunction.
Select automatic operation and con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible. Parking sensor system

ing sensor system fault.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Electronically controlled

and the indicator lamps. CONTROLLED SUSPENSION Manual selection of the SPORT
position
The suspension adapts automatically
and instantly to different driving styles
and road characteristics, improving
the comfort of the occupants and the
vehicle's road holding capabilities. The
suspension favours smooth shock ab-
sorption, ensuring a comfortable ride,
but as soon as conditions demand a
change (sporty driving, tight bends,
avoidance action, etc.) it automatically
selects fi rmer shock absorption, guar-
anteeing optimum road holding.

CHECKS
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Have the fi lter elements
replaced regularly. If you
drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
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.
Parking brake
Disc wear status
For any information relating to check-
ing disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

the style of driving, in particu-
lar for vehicles which are used
in town, over short distances.
Brake pads It may be necessary to check
the brake pads for wear, even
between services.
