TROUBLESHOOTING
Having your vehicle towed
BEING TOWED
Without lifting (four wheels on the ground)
You must always use a towbar.
The removable towing eye is located in the
tool kit behind the driver's seat (Light van) or
behind the rear bench seat (Combi).
From the front
Unclip the cover on the right using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Then hook the towbar on the towing eye.
From the rear
Unclip the cover at the bottom using a flat
tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.

With lifting (2 wheels only on the ground)
It is preferable to lift the vehicle using
professional lifting equipment. When being towed with the engine
off, there is no braking or steering
assistance.
On the towed vehicle, the gear lever must be
put in neutral; failure to observe this special
condition may result in damage to certain
braking components and the absence of
braking assistance when the engine is
started.

CHECKS

Bleeding the water contained in the
diesel filter
If this warning light comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine is
drained.
To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Operate until all
of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.

work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a PEUGEOT dealer .

Battery
At the start of winter, have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer .
Air filter and passenger compartment
filter
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may
reduce the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours. The
replacement intervals for these components
are indicated in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the
bonnet" section of chapter 7.

Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.

Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, consult a
PEUGEOT dealer .
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 it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer .

Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.

Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality
and characteristics.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking circuit, PEUGEOT
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
