In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the brak-
ing system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the

strictly prohibited.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide which correspond
to your vehicle's engine.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced regularly.
If you drive in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
Disc and drum wear
For any information relating to disc
and drum surface wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Manual gearbox

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
If the engine stops, it is
possible to restart it to drive
a short distance by operating
the priming pump at least
10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit must
be reprimed:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve
litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual
priming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the
protective cover which must fi rst
be unclipped and then removed,
- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
Notes:
if the engine does
not start after approxima tely
15 seconds, operate the priming
pump again approximately
fi fteen times before trying again.
If the emission control warning lamp has
come on, it will only switch off after your
vehicle has been used several times.
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.
