Checks






Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,particularly 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 servicin
g booklet for
details of the replacement inter vals
for these components.
Dependin
g on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the use of the
vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary(refer to the "Engines"
section).
A clogged passenger compar tment filter may have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generateundesirable odours.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter val
for this component.
Oil filter The presence of this label, in par ticular with

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of thepar ticle filter is indicated by
the temporary illumination of
this warning lamp accompanied by a message
in the multi-function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at aspeed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on,this indicates a low additive level.

On a new vehicle, the first particlefilter regeneration operations may beaccompanied by a "burning" smell,which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of thevehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission of water vapour atthe exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the ser vicing booklet and according to your engine.

Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
