SERVICE INDICATOR This is a visual reminder of when the
next service is due. This service is tobe carried out according to the man-ufacturer's servicing schedule. Operation As soon as the ignition is switched on and for 5 seconds, the spannersymbolising ''service operation'' is lit.The trip recorder display shows thedistance remaining (in round figures)before the next service. Example:
4,800 miles/km remain
before the next service is due. When the ignition comes on and for 5 sec-onds the display indicates: 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the total distancerecorder resumes normal operationand the display shows the total or tripdistances. The distance remaining before the next service is less than 500 miles(1,000 km). Example:
400 miles (900 km)
remain before the next service is due. When switching on the ignition and for 5 seconds, the display shows: 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the total distancerecorder resumes normal operationand the symbol remains lit. This indicates that a service should
be carried out shortly. The displayshows the total or trip distances. The service is overdue. Each time the ignition is switched on and for 5 seconds, the symbol andthe excess distance flash. Example:
the service is overdue by
300 miles/km. The service should be
carried out very shortly. When the ignition is switched on and for 5 seconds, the display shows: 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the total distancerecorder resumes normal operationand the symbol remains lit. The display shows the total or tripdistances. Note: the service spanner lights if
the two-year interval has been exceeded (see "PEUGEOTServicing" section).

PETROL PETROL
(1) Minimum quality standard: Petrol engines ACEA A3 and API SH/SJ; Diesel engines: ACEA B3 and API CF/CD
ACEA = Association des Constructeurs EuropŽens Automobiles (Association of European Automobile Manufacturers) -
API = American Petroleum Institute.
If oil is used which does not conform to the ACEA A3-B3 standards, this requires the "Arduous Conditions" servicing schedule to be followed, which involves shorter intervals between services.
Use only 5W40 synthetic oil for the HDI Turbo Diesel engines with particulate emissions filter.
* Fuel Economy Oil cannot be used for the 2.2 litre 16V petrol engine and the HDI Turbo Diesel engines with particulate emissions filter.

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.

CHECKS Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Air filter Regular replacement of the filter ele- ment is essential. If you drive in
very dusty conditions, change ittwice as often. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehi-cles that are used in town, for shortjourneys. It may be necessary to check the thickness of the pads even betweenservices. Handbrake Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in theperformance of the system, thehandbrake should be adjusted, evenbetween services. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox This does not require an oil change. Have the level checked in accor-dance with the manufacturer's ser-vicing schedule. Oil filterReplace the cartridge regularly in accordance with the servicing sched-ule.
