MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406
Recommendations for approved lubricants The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most pur-poses. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depend-ing on the temperatures at which theoils are to be used. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of `superior quality'. In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qual-ity (for petrol engines), or CD/CFquality (for diesel engines) may beused by following the 'Arduous Con-ditions' servicing schedule, whichspecifies shorter service intervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from a Peugeot dealer to maintaindriving pleasure and to minimise themaintenance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATORS
A permanently lit warning light, or flashing with the engine running, is an indication of a malfunction in the relevant unit. Some warning lights may
be linked to buzzers and a message on the multi–function display. Do notignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as quickly as possible.
If the Central (STOP) warning light comes on when you are driving, stop your vehicle immediately where it is safe to do so.Central (STOP) warning light
Linked to the "engine oil pressure", ''the low brake fluid level'', '' the coolant temperature gauge'' and ''electronic brake force distribu-tion system fault'' warning lights. It comes on each time the igni-
tion is switched on.
Stop immediately if it flashes with the engine running.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure warning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warning light.Stop immediately if it comes on with the engine running.
It indicates either:
– insufficient oil pressure,
– lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the oil level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. Low coolant level warning light
Stop immediately. Allow the engine to cool before top- ping up. The cooling system is pressurised.In case of overheating, to prevent the risk of scalding, turn the cap tothe first notch to allow the pressureto drop. Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Fuel filler cap warning light This comes on if the fuel cap is not correctly screwed
on or is missing.

Handbrake, low brake fluid level and electronic brake force distribution warning light. This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
It indicates either:
– that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
and when coupled with the central (STOP) warning light:
– an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains on even with the handbrake released),
– lit at the same time as the ABS warning light, a malfunction of the electronic brake force distribution system.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning lightThis comes on for 3 seconds each time the ignition is switched on.If it comes on at over 8 m.p.h. (12 km/h.), it indicates a malfunction of the ABS.
However, the vehicle retains conventional servo-assisted braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Clogging of the particulate emissionfilter warning light(diesel engine)
Display of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signal. The flashing of this light while the engine is running is caused either bythe particulate emission filter being
overloaded or by the engine runningtoo long at idle (white smoke at
exhaust). There is a risk of the filterclogging if the same conditions ofoperation are maintained. As soon as possible, drive for at least three minutes at a speedexceeding 37 m.p.h. (60 km/h), if dri-ving conditions allow this. If the light comes on, drive to a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possi-ble. Front brake pad wear warning light
For your safety, have the pads replaced as soon as this light comes on.

THE AUTOMATIC AUTOADAPTIVE GEARBOX The 4-gear
automaticgearbox provides the comfort of integral automatic reg-
ulation, enhanced by a sport programme (switchA) and a snow programme
(switch B).
Gear selection gate Move the lever in the gate to select one of the functions. Once the position has been selected, the indicator light for that function is dis-played on the instrument panel. P ark (parking): for immobilisingthe vehicle and for startingthe engine, with the
handbrake on or off.R everse: to drive in reverse gear(select this position when the vehicle is sta-
tionary, engine at idle).N eutral: for starting the engine and forparking, with the handbrake on.
D rive: to drive in auto-adaptive mode (with automatic changing of the four
gears).3 : for urban driving or for driving on winding roads(automatic changing of the
first three gears only).
2 : for mountain roads or for towing a trailer (automatic changing of the first two
gears only).
1 : for tackling steep gradients (selection of first gear only).
Special feature of the gearbox (1.8 and 2 litre petrol engines, 2 litre turbo diesel HDI engine) Selection of first gear is by pressing switch C, with the lever in position 2.
To change out of first gear, press switch Cagain or move the selector lever.

Automatic operation Automatic changing of thefour
gears :
 Select function Din the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most suitable gear on the basis ofthe following parameters:
– driving style,
– road characteristics,
– the vehicle's load.The gearbox operates in auto-adap-
tive mode without any action on
your part.
Moving off
With the engine running, to move off with the selector lever in position
P:
 It is essential to press the brakepedal to exit position P (shift
lock),
 Select the required function (R, D,
3 , 2 or 1)then gradually release
the pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle will move off immedi-
ately.
You can also move off with the selec-tor lever in position N:
 Release the handbrake with yourfoot on the brake,
 Select the required function (R,D ,
3 , 2 or 1)then gradually release
the pressure on the brake pedal;the vehicle will move offimmedi-
ately.
DRIVING YOUR 406 149
When the engine is idling, with the brakes notapplied, if function R,D, 3,
2 or 1is selected, the
vehicle will move even if you arenot accelerating. For this reason, do not leave
children unsupervised inside the vehicle, when the engine isrunning. When maintenance operations need to be carried out with theengine running, apply the hand-brake and select function P.
Never select function Nwhen the
vehicle is moving. Never select functions Por Rif
the engine is not switched off.Do not change from one position to another to improve braking effi-ciency on a slippery surface.
With the selector lever in position
P, it will be impossible to change
to another position if your batteryis flat.
Remarks
To obtain maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever,press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kickdown). The gear-box will change down automaticallyor stay in the gear selected, up tomaximum engine speed. When braking, the gearbox changes down automatically so as to provide
efficient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the accelera-
tor suddenly, the gearbox will not
change up, so as to improve safety.
