CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and specifications.
To ensure best performance
from components as important as the
power steering and the braking sys-
tem, PEUGEOT selects and offers
quite specific products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment is strictly
prohibited .
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five li-
tres 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 sched-
ule.
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 filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty con-
ditions, change them twice as of-
ten.
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.
Disc and drum wear
For information relating to the wear of
the surfaces of the discs and drums,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
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 fitting 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 fitted with an anti-
theft bolt (one per wheel), it must be
unscrewed using an anti-theft socket
(which was given to you on delivery
of your vehicle along with the dupli-
cate keys and the confidential 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 country.
Fitting snow tyres
If you fit snow tyres that are mounted
on steel rims onto your vehicle, it is
es-
sential that you use special bolts avail-
able 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 fitted may have
an adverse effect on the operation of
your vehicle (its electronic control cir-
cuits, the audio circuit and the electri-
cal 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 ac-
cordance with PEUGEOT’s instruc-
tions, in particular for any equipment
the power consumption of which ex-
ceeds 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 en-
gine compartment (next to the bat-
tery), unclip the cover. After carrying out work, close the
