Instrument panel display After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession:
- service indicator (see corresponding section),
- engine oil level indicator,
- total distance recorder/total and trip distances.Note:
the total and trip distances are displayed for 30 seconds when the ignition
is switched off, on opening the driver's door, as well as on locking and unlocking the vehicle. Engine oil level When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is indicated for approximately 10 seconds, after the servicing information.
Maximum Check the level using the dipstick to confirm whether the message is correct; a surplus of oilcan cause damage to the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without delay. Minimum Check the level with the dipstick and top it up. The figure shown is only correct if the vehicle hasbeen on stable, level ground, with the enginestopped, for 10 minutes. Oil level gauge fault The 6 segments flash; they indicate a fault in the oil level gauge. There is a risk the engine will be damaged.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil temperature indicator light When the engine is running, it indi- cates the oil temperature:
- When the needle is in zone
C, the
temperature is correct,
- When the needle is in zone D, the
temperature is too high. To lower the oil temperature, reduce yourspeed.

Checking levels Engine oil Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes
; the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litre per600 miles (1000 km). The check must be carried out with the vehicle level and the engine cold.
There are two levelmarks on the dips-tick: A= maxi.
B = mini. Viscosity grade selectionThe oil selected must always meet the manufacturer's requirements. Oil filter Change the cartridge regularly in accordance with the recommenda-tions of the servicing schedule. Used oil
Avoid any prolonged contact of used oil with the skin. Do not discard used oil down drains or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of the engines and emission control sys-tems, the use of additives in the oil isprohibited. Brake fluid reservoir
- The level must always be above the
DANGER mark on the tank.
- In the event of a significant drop in the level, contact a PEUGEOT dea-
ler immediately. Fluid change
- Always to be carried out at the inter-
vals given in the manufacturer's ser- vicing schedule.
- Use fluids approved by the manu- facturer which comply with DOT4.
Coolant reservoir Use a coolant approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the coolant temperature is controlled by the fan.This may operate with the ignition key
removed. Therefore, as the coolingcircuit is pressurised, wait at least an
hour after switching off the enginebefore carrying out any work. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, unscrew thecap two turns to let the pressure drop.When the pressure has dropped,remove the cap and top up the level.
Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
- Dipstick: never exceed the maxi- mum mark A.
- Instrument dial gauge.
