BRAKES

• The friction associated with braking leads to significant heat release.
• Pad material that is softer than disc material will wear faster. 

Worn pads can damage the brake disc.

Maintenance recommendations:

Have the condition of your pads checked (approximately every 10,000 km).

Have them replaced when the thickness is reduced to 2 mm.

When braking, they are heavily stressed. Their wear can cause vibrations. Their condition depends on the maximum braking efficiency.

Maintenance recommendations:

Have them checked each time the pads are changed, in order to check that their thickness respects the dimension established by the Manufacturer.

Less stressed than pads, they nevertheless undergo the same constraints.

Maintenance recommendations:

Have the brake drums checked regularly (about every 20,000 km). The segments must be replaced as soon as the thickness of the linings is less than 1.5 mm.

• Not only can excessively used fluid lead to a loss of braking efficiency, but a leak in the hydraulic system can also become a source of potential failure. A warning light on the dashboard indicates its level of alert.
• In the event of an abnormal drop in the brake fluid level, consult your PEUGEOT expert without delay.

Recommendations for maintenance:

Have your brake fluid changed at least once every 2 years or every 40,000 km or 60,000 km following the date of first entry into service of your vehicle. This is essential.
