CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your
battery checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Oil ilter
Change the ilter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best performance
from components as impor-
tant as the power steering and the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects
and offers quite speciic products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit:
- ill the fuel tank with at least ive litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF
(PETROL)
In a serious collision, a mechanism
prevents fuel from reaching the
engine.
To re-establish the fuel supply, press
the switch on the corner of the front
right-hand suspension assembly, un-
der the bonnet.
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.Air ilter and passenger
compartment ilter
Have the ilter elements replaced reg-
ularly. If you drive in dusty condi-
tions, change them twice as often.
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.
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.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF
ALLOY WHEELS
Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a
steel spare wheel, when itting it, it is
normal to notice that the bolt wash-
ers do not come into contact with the
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the cone-shape of each bolt.
Anti-theft bolt*
If your wheels are itted with an anti-
theft bolt (one per wheel), it must be
unscrewed using one of the two anti-
theft sockets (which were given to
you on delivery of your vehicle along
with the duplicate keys and the coni-
dential card) and the wheelbrace.
Note: make a careful note of the
code number engraved on the top of
the anti-theft socket. This will enable
you to obtain a duplicate anti-theft
socket from your PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to model and destination.
Fitting snow tyres
If you it snow tyres that are mounted
on steel rims onto your vehicle, it
is
essential that you use special
bolts available from your PEUGEOT
dealer.

The electrical circuit of your
vehicle is designed to oper-
ate with standard or optional
equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories in your ve-
hicle, consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Some electrical accessories or the
way in which they are itted may
have an adverse effect on the op-
eration of your vehicle (its electronic
control circuits, the audio circuit and
the electrical charging circuit).
PEUGEOT declines any responsi-
bility for expenses incurred through
the repair of your vehicle or for any
malfunctions resulting from the in-
stallation of auxiliary accessories,
not supplied and not recommended
by PEUGEOT and not installed in
accordance with PEUGEOT's in-
structions, in particular for any equip-
ment the power consumption of
which exceeds 10 milliamps.
The maxi fuses provide additional
protection for the electrical systems.
Any work on these fuses must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine compartment fuse box
To gain access to the box in the engine
compartment (next to the battery), un-
clip the cover. After carrying out work, close the
cover very carefully.
