Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that the particle emission
filter is maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer’s servicing schedule,
by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Note:
following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice emissions of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
have any effect on the performance of
the vehicle or the environment.
On vehicles which are fitted with a
particle emission filter, the fan as-
sembly may operate after the vehicle
has stopped, even when the engine is
cold.
Where the handbrake travel is
too great or there is a reduc-
tion in the performance of the
system, the handbrake should
be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Brake pad wear depends on
the style of driving, in particu-
lar for vehicles which are used
in town, over short distances.
Brake pads
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
