PEUGEOT dealer.

Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that the particle emis-
sion fi lter is maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Note: following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice emissions of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
have any effect on the performance of
the vehicle or the environment.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan as-
sembly may operate after the vehicle
has stopped, even when the engine is
cold. Where the handbrake travel is
too great or there is a reduc-
tion in the performance of the
system, the handbrake should
be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
