BATTERY PARTICLE EMISSION FILTER (DIESEL)
On a new vehicle, the fi rst particle fi lter regeneration operations
may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly
normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or
at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
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 "Battery"
section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting \
the battery and following its reconnection.
The start of saturation of the particle emissions fi lter is
indicated by the temporary illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the risk
of blockage of the particle emissions fi lter.
As soon as the traffi c conditions permit, regenerate the fi lter by driving
at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes of\
f.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance with
the warranty and maintenance record and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
AIR FILTER AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILTER
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of
the replacement intervals for these components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace them twice
as often if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may have an adverse effect
on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace the oil fi lter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of
the replacement interval for this component.

The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for the details
of the level checking interval for this component.
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of
the level checking interval for this component.
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances.
It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fl uid level
indicates that the brake pads are worn. For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of
equivalent quality and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those
in the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specifi c
products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice
can form on the brake discs and pads: braking effi ciency may
be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the
brakes.
PARKING BRAKE
If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system
is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The general recommendations on cleaning and maintaining your vehicle
are given in the servicing and warranty booklet.
ALUMINIUM ARCHES
To clean these arches, do not use a dry cloth with an abrasive product. \
Use a sponge and soapy water.
PEUGEOT TECHNO TEP
To clean this trim, do not use solvents or detergents with a dry cloth.
First remove dust, then use a soft cloth and soapy water. Dry with
another soft cloth.
HEADLAMPS AND LAMPS
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses, fi nished with a protective
lacquer.
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive cloth, nor with detergent or
solvent products.
Use a sponge and soapy water.
CUSTOMISING STICKERS
These customising parts are self-adhesive stickers, treated to give good\
resistance to ageing and tearing.
They are intended for customising the body.
Available also as accessories, we recommend that you have them fi tted
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. The use of a high pressure jet wash for cleaning the headlamps,
lamps and their surrounds may damage the lacquer and seals.
Observe the recommendations on pressure and distance for jet
washing.
First clean persistent stains with a sponge and warm soapy water.
When washing your vehicle, keep the end of a high-pressure
lance at least 30 centimetres from the stickers.

MATT PAINT
If you vehicle is fi nished with a clear matt lacquer, please observe the
following recommendations to avoid damaging the paintwork by the use
of an inappropriate cleaning procedures.
These recommendations are also valid for alloy road wheels fi nished
with clear matt lacquer. Never clean the vehicle without water.
Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.
Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will
make the paintwork shiny.
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or
preserving products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork.
These products are only suitable for bright fi nishes. Application of
these products on vehicles with a matt fi nish will seriously damage
the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible shiny or
stained areas.
Never use a high pressure jet wash with a lance fi tted with a
brush, this may scratch the paintwork.
Never select a wash programme that fi nishes with a hot wax
cycle. From the range of cleaning and maintenance products in the
"TECHNATURE" range recommended and approved by PEUGEOT,
use only the insect remover and car shampoo, which are the only
products to be used on the bodywork.
The insect remover can also be used to remove minor marks
(for example: fi nger marks...).
Always have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
We recommend the use of a high pressure jet wash, or at least a
water hose with a high output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using de-ionised water.
Use only a microfi bre cloth to dry the vehicle. It must be clean and
used without heavy pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the bodywork using a
soft cloth, then leave to dry.
