If "OIL" fl a s h e s a n d t h e s e r v i c e
warning light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction display, this
indicates a lack of oil which could
damage the engine.
I f t h e l a c k o f o i l i s c o n fi r m e d b y a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up.
E n g i n e o i l l e v e l i n d i c a t o r
When the ignition is switched on,
the engine oil level is indicated for
approximately 5 seconds after the
service indicator display.

Check the oil level using the dip-
stick.
If " O I L - - " fl a s h e s , t h i s i n d i c a t e s a
malfunction of the engine oil level
gauge.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY
After switching on the ignition, three
functions are shown in succession:
- service indicator,
- engine oil level indicator
- total distance recorder (total and trip distances).
The level read on the dipstick
will only be correct if the ve-
hicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
O i l l e v e l c o r r e c t
N o t e : the trip distance is displayed
for thirty seconds, when the ignition
is switched off, on opening and
closing the driver’s door as well as
on locking the vehicle.
It also displays the "2 Tronic" gear-
box positions and operating modes
selected, as well as the information
relating to the cruise control or speed
limiter when one of these functions is
active.

VENTILATION
1. Windscreen de-icing or
demisting vent.
2. Side window de-icing or
demisting vents.
3. Side vents.
4. Central vents.
5. Air outlets to the front footwells.
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells.
7. Temperature sensor. Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature remains
very high following a long period
parked in the sun, do not hesitate to
ventilate the passenger compartment
for a few minutes.
For an even air distribution, make
sure that you do not block the out-
side air inlet grille, the vents and the
air outlets to the footwells.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in a high tempera-
ture), cutting off the air conditioning
permits recovery of the engine power
and therefore improvement of the
towing capacity.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
m e n t fi l t e r , l o c a t e d u n d e r n e a t h t h e
windscreen, in the engine compart-
ment, is in good condition. Have the
fi l t e r e l e m e n t s r e p l a c e d r e g u l a r l y
(refer to the chapter "Checks - § Checks").
If you drive in a dusty environment,
change them twice as often. We recommend the use of a
combined passenger compartment

occupants and to the cleanness of the
passenger compartment (reduction
of allergic symptoms, unpleasant
odours and oily deposits).
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
To guarantee correct operation of
your air conditioning system, we also
recommend that you have it checked
regularly.
The condensation created by the

stationary which is perfectly normal.
If the system does not produce
cold air, do not use it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not cover the temperature sen-
sor

air conditioning.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine
and does not present any
danger to the ozone layer.

B = minimum
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet. Changing the brake fluid
T h e b r a k e fl u i d m u s t b e
changed at the intervals stat-
ed, according to the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule.

standards. Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT .
When the level is low, this is indicated
by an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction display.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Cooling system
U s e t h e fl u i d r e c o m m e n d e d b y t h e
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can ope-
rate with the ignition key removed
and because 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. Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
Lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, indicates that the die-
sel additive level is low.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
B r a k e fl u i d i s h a r m f u l t o h e a l t h a n d
very corrosive.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
The level must always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark. Do not dispose of used oil,
b r a k e fl u i d o r c o o l a n t i n t o
drains or into the ground.
Oil level
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.

ty and characteristics.
To ensure best performance
from components as important as the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects
a n d o f f e r s q u i t e s p e c i fi c p r o d u c t s .
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing of the
engine compartment is strictly pro-
hibited .
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the servicing book-
let for information on the re-
placement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the ve-
hicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often, if necessary (refer to
the "Engines" paragraph).
A c l o g g e d p a s s e n g e r c o m p a r t m e n t fi l -
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and produce unpleasant odours.
To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servic-
ing schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle’s engine.
Following prolonged opera-
tion of the vehicle at very
low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circum-
stances, notice steam coming from
the exhaust during acceleration. This
has no effect on the performance of
the vehicle or on the environment.
