Checks

CHECKS
Bleeding water from
the Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes
on, you must bleed the filter;
otherwise bleed the filter
regularly, every time the engine is
changed.
To remove 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 flowed out. Then tighten the
bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires specialist knowledge, which
all PEUGEOT dealers have.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification, for which
the involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop is required when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
shorten the life of the battery.
Air filter and passenger compartment
filter
A blocked passenger compartment filter
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 brake pad wear,
even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For all information on checking the brake
disc/drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
