Practical information
7system performance and generate
undesirable odours.
Air filter
Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,
city driving), change it twice as often, if
necessary .
Oil filter
Change the oil filter each time the engine
oil is changed.
Diesel fuel filter
Change the Diesel fuel filter according to
the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
A clogged Diesel fuel filter can reduce engine performance and damage the
injection system.
Bleeding water from the Diesel fuel
filter
If this warning lamp comes on, bleed the
filter. Otherwise, bleed regularly at each
engine oil change.
–

T

o drain the water, unscrew the bleed screw
located under the filter.
–

Operate it until all the water in the transparent
tube has drained, then tighten the bleed screw
again.
For more information on the Engine
compartment, in particular the location
of the Diesel fuel filter, refer to the
corresponding section.
Particle filter (Diesel)
(Depending on version)
With HDi Diesel engine
The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied by an alert
message.
With BlueHDi Diesel engine
The start of clogging of the particle filter is indicated by the temporary
flashing of the first warning lamp and the
temporary lighting of the second warning lamp,
accompanied by an alert message.
As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate
the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37
mph
(60

km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500
rpm, for about 20
minutes (until the warning lamp
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37
mph (60 km/h),
leave the engine running at idle for about
20

minutes, then drive with an engine speed
above 2,500 rpm for 20
minutes.
Do not switch off the engine until the filter
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is
stationary is not recommended.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
For any information on gearbox
maintenance, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles CarM an uals 2 .c o m
