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 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 indicator When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is indicated for approxi- mately 10 seconds, after the servicing information.
Surplus oil Flashing indicates a surplus of oil which can cause damage to the engine. If the surplus of oil is confirmed by checking using the dipstick,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer without delay. No oil Flashing indicates 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 Check the oil level using the dipstick. If the level is correct, the flashing indicates a true engine oil level gauge fault.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-mum consumption is 0.5 l per600 miles (1,000 km). Check the level with the vehicle level, engine cold, using the oil levelgauge on the instrument panel orthe 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 DOT4standards.
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 keyremoved and because the coolingsystem is pressurised, wait for atleast one hour after the engine hasstopped before carrying out anywork. 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.
