Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
fi lter is indicated by the temporary illu-
mination of this warning lamp accompa-
nied by a message in the multi-function
screen.
As soon as the traffi c conditions per-
mit, regenerate the fi lter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indi-
cates a low additive level.
On a new vehicle, the fi rst par-
ticle fi lter regeneration opera-
tions may be accompanied by
a "burning" smell, which is perfectly
normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstanc-
es, notice the emission of water va-
pour at the exhaust on acceleration.
This does not affect the behaviour of
the vehicle or the environment.
CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the servic-
ing booklet and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology
and specifi cation. The involvement
of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop is essential when replac-
ing or disconnecting the battery.
12 V battery
The battery does not require
any maintenance.
However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in sum-
mer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "12 V battery" section for
details of the precautions to be taken
before disconnecting the battery and
following its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these components.
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace them twice as often if neces-
sary
.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.

Brake disc wear
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for
the details of the level checking
interval for this component.
6-speed electronic
gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
terval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the level checking
interval for this component. This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in
the event of a problem, have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Electric parking brake
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as the braking sys-
tem, PEUGEOT selects and offers
very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited
.
For more information, refer to
the "Electric parking brake -

)
Switch on the compressor by mov-
ing the switch B
to position "I"
until
the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of splashing).
)
Remove the kit and screw the cap
back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your ve-
hicle with traces of fl uid. Keep the kit

ly three miles (fi ve kilometres), at
reduced speed (between 15 and
35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to plug
the puncture.
)
Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
Do not start the compressor
before connecting the white
pipe to the tyre valve: the
sealant product would be expelled
through the pipe.
Tyre under-infl ation
detection
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre
under-infl ation detection, the under-
infl ation warning lamp will remain on af-
ter the wheel has been repaired until the
system is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If after around 5 to 7 minutes
the pressure is not attained,
this indicates that the tyre is
not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop for
