PRACTICAL INFORMATION
140
Only use products
approved by 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.
CHECK ...
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Air filter and pollen filter
Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty con
ditions, change them twice as
often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the
style of driving, in particular for vehi
cles which are used in town, over
short distances .
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. Fuel supply cutoff
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.
The flashing of this warning
light is accompanied by the
message "Fuel circuit dis
armed" on the multi–func
tion display.
To reestablish the fuel supply :  switch off the ignition.
 remove the key.
 check that there is no odour or
leakage of fuel outside the vehi
cle.
 put the key back in the ignition
 switch on the ignition and start.
Manual gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Check the level, according to the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Automatic gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer in accordance
with the manufacturer's service
schedule.

TYRE UNDERINFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure
during driving, and trigger a warning
in the event of malfunction (speed
greater than 15mph [25 km/h]).
Flat tyre
When the message "Tyres deflat
ed" appears on the multi–function
display, accompanied by an audible
signal, have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
The message 'Punctured tyre(s)'
appears on the multi–function dis
play, accompanied by an audible sig
nal and followed by illumination of
the "STOP" warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very deflated) tyre, and have the tyre
presure checked as soon as possi
ble.
Note: if the damaged tyre is tem
porarily stored in the boot, it will
again emit this message to remind
you of the necessity of having it
repaired. This will prevent another
warning of the same type being dis
played. Sensor(s) not detected
When the message
"X tyre pres
sure sensor(s) missing" appears
on the multi–function display,
accompanied by an audible signal,
this indicates that underinflation
detection is absent from one (or sev
eral) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
replace the faulty sensor(s).
Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away from
the vehicle (being repaired) or when
a wheel without a sensor is fitted.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
All repairs and changing
of tyres on a wheel fitted
with this system must be
carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre underinflation detec
tion system is a driving aid
which does not take the place
of vigilance or the responsibili
ty of the driver.
This system does not remove the
need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (including the
spare wheel), to ensure that the
dynamic performance of the vehi
cle remains at its best and to
avoid premature wear of the tyres,
in particular in the case of arduous
driving (heavy load, high speed).
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on
a frequency close to it.
