MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406 COUPE
Recommendations for approved lubricants
The oils which appear in the table oppo-site are suitable for most purposes. The diagram opposite states the opti- mum range of viscosity depending on thetemperatures at which the oils are to beused. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of "superior quality". In the absence of semi-synthetic or syn-
thetic oils, oils of ACEA A1/A2 and API
SH/SJ/SL quality (for petrol engines), or
ACEA B1/B2 and API CD/CF quality (fordiesel engines) may be used by followingthe 'Arduous Conditions' servicingschedule, which specifies shorter serviceintervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from a
PEUGEOT dealer to maintain drivingpleasure and to minimise the mainte-nance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

Ð that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
and when coupled with the central (STOP) warning light:
Ð an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains on even with the handbrake released),
Ð lit at the same time as the ABS warning light, it indicates a malfunction of the electronic brake force distribution system.

Clogging of the particu- late emission filter warn-ing 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 beingoverloaded or by the engine runningtoo long at idle (white smoke from
the exhaust). There is a risk of the fil-ter clogging 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),where driving conditions allow this. If the light comes on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. Front brake pad wear warning light

seconds each time the ignition is switched on. If the indicator light stays on or comes on while the engine is run-
ning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer. When the engine is running and the vehicle is moving, it flashes if thesystem is activated. It is lit continuously when it is dis- armed.
