33
INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
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. Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and
1 800 miles (3 000 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: 2 800 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 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is
due

Example: 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.
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no
service information appears on the
display.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Following this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock the
vehicle and wait at least fi ve minutes
for the zero reset to be taken into

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 re-
corder zero reset button,

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

 when the display indicates "=0" , re-
lease the button; the spanner disap-
pears.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending 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 in-
dicate 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 .

validity or invalidity of the engine oil
level.
This information is indicated for a few sec-
onds when the ignition is switched on,

Lack of oil
Oil level gauge fault
Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of

"OIL" , linked with the service warning
light, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multifunction
display.
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, using the type of oil
suited to your engine.
