Good practice
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly advise
you not to use high pressure
washing to clean the engine
compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or in winter, ice may form on the brake
discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the filter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the filter.
Operate until all of the water no longer
flows in the transparent pipe, then
tighten the bleed screw.
Particle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
HDi engines use advanced
technology
. All work requires
special training, so should be
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer.
Depending on country of sale. Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
specific products.

the
towing eye supplied with the tools
for changing a wheel.
Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (Diesel version)
