Deactivation indicator lights
The lighting of one of the following in-
dicator lights confi rms that the corre-
sponding system has been switched off
intentionally. Passenger air bag system
disarmed.
The passenger air bag system
is activated automatically when
the vehicle is started.
A special switch, located in the glove
box, permits the disarming of this sys-
tem. This is confi rmed by continuous
lighting of this indicator light. Deactivation of the dynamic
stability control (ESP).
The ESP system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started. A special button, located in the
centre of the fascia, permits the
deactivation of this system as
well as of the steering/ESP cou-
pling system (SSP). This is confi rmed by
continuous lighting of this indicator light
and of the indicator light on the button.

When the engine is running or the vehi-
cle is moving, the lighting of one of the
following warning lights indicates the
occurrence of a fault which requires
action on the part of the driver. Centralised alert.
Lighting of the centralised alert
is associated with the lighting
of another warning light:
- punctured wheel,
- braking,
- engine oil pressure,
- coolant temperature.
It is imperative that the vehicle is
stopped as soon as it is safe to do so. Service.
Lighting of the service warning
light indicates the occurrence of
a problem in one of the systems
which does not have a specifi c
warning light.
To identify the problem, consult the
message on the multifunction display.
After checking:
- the remote control battery,
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
for other cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Punctured tyre.
The lighting of this warning light
indicates that one or more tyres
are punctured. It is imperative
that the vehicle is stopped as soon as it
is safe to do so.

(ABS).
The lighting of this warning light
indicates the occurrence of a fault
in the anti-lock braking system.
However, this does not prevent the opera-
tion of the vehicle’s assisted braking.
Any fault resulting in the lighting of
a warning light must be the subject
of further diagnostics by reading
the associated message on the
multifunction display.
If a problem arises, do not hesitate
to contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Coolant temperature indicator
System which informs the driver of the
changes in the temperature of the engine
coolant while driving.
With the engine running, when the
needle is:
- in zone A , the temperature is correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
light 1 and the central STOP warn-
ing light come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. After driving for a few minutes, the tem-
perature and pressure in the cooling
system increase.
To top up the level:

 wait for the engine to cool,

 unscrew the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop,

 when the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap,

 top up the level to the "MAX" mark. Engine oil temperature
indicator
System which informs the driver of the
changes in the temperature of the engine
oil while driving.
With the engine running, when the
needle is:
- in zone
C , the temperature is correct,
- in zone D , the temperature is too
high; the oil pressure warning light
and the central STOP warning light
come on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message on the
multifunction display.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
On petrol engines, the cooling of
the engine is managed electroni-
cally to improve consumption. Con-
sequently, the coolant temperature
levels are no longer simply linked
with the external ambient condi-
tions and the use of the vehicle.
For example, in town, it is normal
for the coolant temperature to be
slightly higher in cold weather than
in hot weather.

24
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when
the next service is due, in accord-
ance with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero re-
set. It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service.
More than 500 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising
the service operations comes on. The
distance recorder display line indicates
the distance remaining before the next
service is due.

Example: 4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner is switched off ; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances. Less than 500 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due

Example: 400 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its
normal operation. The spanner re-
mains on to indicate that a service
must be carried out soon.

Following this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock the
vehicle and wait at least fi ve min-
utes for the zero reset to be taken
into account.


Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indicator
must be reset to zero.
To do this, carry out the following pro-
cedure:

 switch off the ignition,

 press and hold the trip distance
recorder zero reset button,

 switch on the ignition; the distance
recorder display begins a count-
down,

 when the display indicates "=0" ,
release the button; the spanner
disappears.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depend-
ing on the driver’s driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.
Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on,
the spanner fl ashes to
indicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.

Example: the service is overdue by
300 miles (km).
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its
normal operation. The spanner re-
mains lit .

The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 15 minutes.
Engine oil level indicator
System which informs the driver of the
validity or invalidity of the engine oil
level.
This information is indicated for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on, after the service information.
Oil level correct Oil level gauge fault
Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of

"OIL" , linked with the service warning
light, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction dis-
play.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up to prevent damage to
the engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL --" .
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:
- A = max; never exceed
this level,
- B = min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, us-
ing the type of oil suited
to your engine.
Lack of oil

Total distance recorder
System which measures the total dis-
tance travelled by the vehicle during its
life. Lighting rheostat
System for manual adjustment of the
brightness of the instruments and con-
trols in relation to the exterior brightness. CLOCK
Integrated system which displays the
time with independent setting of the
hours and minutes.
The total and trip distances are dis-
played for thirty seconds when the ig-
nition is switched off, when the driver’s
door is opened and when the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
Trip distance recorder
System which measures a distance
travelled during a day or other period
until it is reset to zero by the driver.

 With the ignition on, press the button
until zeros appear. Activation
