Instrument panel display After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession:
Ð service indicator (see corresponding section),
Ð engine oil level indicator,
Ð total distance recorder (total or trip distances).Note:the total or 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 informati on.
Maximum oil level If the flashing of the six squares is confirmed by checking using the dipstick, a surplus of oil can cause damage to the engine.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer without delay. Lack of oilFlashing of the six segments and "min" on the display indicate a lack of oil which can cause damage to the engine. If the lack of oil is confirmed by checking using the dipstick, it is essential to top up the level.
Oil level gauge fault Flashing of the six segments indicates a fault in the oil level gauge.There is a risk the engine will be damaged.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 35
The level indicated when checking using the dipstick is only correct if the vehicle has been on level ground, with the engine stopped, for more than 10 minutes.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-mum consumption is 0.5 l per
600 miles (1 000 km). Check the level with the vehicle level, engine cold, using the oillevel gauge on the instrumentpanel or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two marks onthe dipstick: A=maximum
Never fill past this mark.B= minimum
To maintain the reliability of engines and emissioncontrol systems, the useof additives in engine oilis prohibited.
Oil change According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin. Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's requirements. Brake fluid level:
Ð The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM marks
in the reservoir.
Ð If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
immediately.
Fluid change:
Ð must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.
Note: brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contactwith the skin. Cooling system Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan canoperate with the ignition key removedand because the cooling system ispressurised, wait for at least one hourafter the engine has stopped beforecarrying out any work. Slacken the cap to the first notch torelease the pressure to prevent anyrisk of scalding. When the pressurehas dropped, remove the cap andtop up the level. Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed. Used oil Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or coolant into drains or into theground. Power steering reservoir Open the reservoir, with the engine at ambient temperature.The level should always beabove the MIN. mark and closeto the MAX. mark.
