Handbrake, low brake fluid level and electronic brake force
distribution warning light.
This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
It indicates either:
– that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
and when coupled with the central (STOP) warning light:
– an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remai ns on even with the
handbrake released),
– lit at the same time as the ABS warning light, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution system.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Antilock braking system (ABS) warning light
This comes on for 3 seconds each time the ignition is switched o n.
If it comes on at over 8 m.p.h. (12 km/h), it indicates a malfun ction of the
ABS.
However, the vehicle retains conventional servoassisted braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Clogging of the
particulate emission
filter warning light
(diesel engine)
Display of this warning light is
accompanied by an audible signal.
The flashing of this light while the
engine is running is caused either by
the particulate emission filter being
overloaded or by the engine running
too long at idle (white smoke from
the exhaust). There is a risk of the fil
ter clogging if the same conditions of
operation are maintained.
As soon as possible, drive for at
least three minutes at a speed
exceeding 37 m.p.h. (60 km/h), if dri
ving conditions allow this.
If the light comes on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible. Front brake pad wear warning light
For your safety, have the pads replaced as soon as this light co
mes on.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 40633
Only use products
approved by Automobiles
PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor
mance from components as
important as the power steering
and the braking system,
PEUGEOT selects and offers
quite specific products.
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir with the engine
cold. The level should always be
above the MINI mark, close to the
MAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash reservoir
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use
products approved by PEUGEOT
(capacity 4.5 litres or 9 litres with
headlamp wash).
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Air filter
Regular replacement of the filter ele
ment is essential. If you drive in
very dusty conditions, change it
twice as often. Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the
style of driving, in particular for vehi
cles that are used in town, for short
journeys. 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.
Manual gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Check the level according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Automatic autoadaptive
gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
