duction in the performance
of the system, the hand-
brake should be adjusted,
even between services.

It is imperative that maintenance of
the particle emission fi lter is carried

ance with the manufacturer's servicing

on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.

drums, contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly, in

ing schedule.
It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the

Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fl uid level
indicates that the brake pads are

ing system and produce unpleasant
odours.
