Checks - PEUGEOT RCZ Handbook

CHECKS

Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance
with the servicing and warranty booklet and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
BATTERY
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.
AIR FILTER AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILTER
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet 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.
OIL FILTER
Replace the oil fi lter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for details of the
replacement interval for this component.
PARTICLE EMISSION FILTER (DIESEL)
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 off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
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.
