Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning lamp flashes then comes on continuously. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall. It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and star t the engine again using the key.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Star t system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of START mode.

Checks
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the Warranty and Maintenance Record and according to your engine. Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Battery
The battery does not require any maintenance. However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly tightened, par ticularly in summer and winter. When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Practical information" section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting the battery and following its reconnection.
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of the replacement inter vals for these components. Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessar y (refer to the "Engines" section). A dir ty passenger compar tment filter may have an adverse effect on the per formance of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed. Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of the replacement inter val for this component.
Oil filter The presence of this label, in par ticular with the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special technology and specification, for which the involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop is required when replacing or disconnecting the battery. Failure to obser ve this recommendation may shor ten the life of the battery.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Display of this warning lamp or a specific message, together with the ser vice warning lamp, indicates the start of saturation of the particle filter or low level in the Diesel additive reser voir.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the ser vice warning lamp goes off. If the ser vice warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level. Have the additive reser voir topped up and the par ticle emission filter ser viced by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
