With the engine running, to move off
from position P :

 it is essential to press the brake
pedal,

 release the handbrake,

 select position R , D or M , then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle

audible signal is heard and a message
appears when the driver’s door is
opened or approximately 45 seconds
after the ignition is switched off. Move
the lever to P . The audible signal
stops and the message disappears. When maintenance opera-
tions need to be carried out
with the engine running, ap-
ply the handbrake and select
position
P . Never select position
N when
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R unless the vehicle is
stationary.

programme, there are two special
programmes.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
Automatic operation

Automatic changing of the four or
six gears:

 select position D in the gate.
The gearbox automatically adapts the

If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety. Sport programme

CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never i ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
Dipstick
Cooling system
Use the l uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. This fan can oper-
ate with the ignition off.

In the case of vehicles i tted with
a particle emission i lter, the fan
can operate after the vehicle has
stopped, even when the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, this indicates a low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
Brake fluid level
* According to engine.
Oil level
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.
Power steering reservoir
Remove the style trim * (see §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.


Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).

Check the level with the ve-
hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick. Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
Use l uids recommended by
the manufacturer, which fuli l DOT4
standards.
